A portable gateway device for use with a Building Management System (BMS) enables voice command control of BMS devices. The portable gateway device comprises a Wi-Fi module, a serial communications interface, and a data conversion module. The Wi-Fi module is configured to enable communication with a user device via Wi-Fi. The portable gateway device is configured to receive a voice command spoken by a user of the user device. The serial communications interface is configured to enable communication with a bus connected to a BMS device. The data conversion module is configured to translate the voice command received from the user device into a control action associated with the BMS device. The portable gateway device is configured to provide the control action to the BMS device via the serial communications interface. The control action affects a state or condition of the BMS device.
