A method for integrating data points of building automation devices into a building controller within a building automation system includes generating on a display an identification of a system object relating to one of a plurality of building automation devices; receiving a user input comprising a filter criterium for filtering a plurality of data points relating to the building automation devices; identifying at least one of the plurality of data points of the building automation devices based on the filter criterium; integrating the identified at least one of the data points into the building controller to be associated with the system object; and generating on the display an identification of at least one of the integrated data points associated with the system object.

Method and system for integrating data points into a building controller of a building automation system

A method of providing access to information on a controller in a building automation system includes providing an external definition file, the external definition file including a first section that includes an application interface definition that defines a set of user interface displays and a second section that defines a functionality of objects using protocol-specific data. The method also includes employing a host application to create a first node comprising one or more objects based upon the protocol-specific data, the first node configured to communicate and exchange information with the controller. The method further includes employing the host application to create a user interface element based on the application interface definition, the user interface element configured to provide a user interface to data relating to the controller received from the first nodes.
