Abstract
A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state or condition of a building, a system manager, and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is coupled to the building equipment via a system bus and includes memory storing a device identifier uniquely identifying the system manager. The cloud-based data platform is configured to generate a device shadow for the system manager prior to installation of the system manager at a building site. The device shadow includes a virtual representation of the system manager including the device identifier. The system manager is configured to establish a communications link with the cloud-based data platform upon installation of the system manager at the building site. The cloud-based data platform is configured to update the device shadow based on information received from the system manager via the communications link.
