A building management system is disclosed that is automatically configured using a wireless mesh network data and sensor data to create a virtual floor plan. The building management system comprising a control processor, a plurality of lighting devices, and a plurality of control devices comprising lighting control devices, each directly controlling one or more of the lighting devices. The control devices intercommunicate with each other over a wireless network, and each control device comprises a light sensor detecting light intensity. The control processor creates the mesh graph of relative positioning of the control devices to each other using received wireless signal strengths of the control devices relative to each other. The control processor determines relative positioning of the lighting devices to the control devices using the mesh graph and received light intensity readings obtained by the light sensors of the control devices when each lighting device was turned on and off. The virtual floor plan comprises the relative positioning of the control devices to each other, the relative positioning of the control devices to the lighting devices, and room-by-room groupings of the plurality of control devices and the lighting devices.
