A computer-implemented method for managing and controlling multiple automation components coupled via a building automation network. The computer implemented method includes receiving, via the building automation network, a first operational schedule from a first automation device where the first operational schedule is formatted according to a first protocol, receiving, via the building automation network, a second operational schedule from a second automation device where the second operational schedule is formatted according to a second protocol, converting the received second operational schedule from the second protocol to the first protocol, generating a unified schedule that includes the first operational schedule and the converted second operational schedule, and displaying the unified schedule in a user accessible manner.

Operation scheduler for a building automation system

Automation systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes displaying, in a user interface, a portion of code associated with a process running in the automation system. The process is associated with a point variable in the automation system. The portion of code includes the point variable. The method further includes identifying a location of a cursor in a user interface in response to detecting the cursor in the location associated with the user interface for a period of time. The method includes requesting the point value of the point variable in the portion of code and associated with the location of the cursor. The method includes receiving the value associated with the variable over a network connection. The method includes displaying the point value in the user interface in association with the point variable.
