Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to building automation systems, and more particularly to device enrollment techniques in a Building Automation System (BAS). In one example, the Building Automation System includes a central controller and one or more remote sensors/devices. The central controller is initially placed into its enrollment mode. An installer may then walk around the building uttering a predetermined verbal word or phrase. When a sensor/device hears the predetermined verbal word or phrase, the corresponding sensor/device enters its enrollment mode, and then becomes enrolled with the central controller of the Building Automation System. In some cases, the Building Automation System may include a security system.
