Abstract
A building control system includes a sensor unit, a space controller, and a controlled device. The space controller is configured to operate one or more controlled devices to affect one or more environmental conditions of a first space of a building. The sensor unit is communicably coupled to the space controller and is configured to be disposed in the first space. The sensor unit includes one or more sensors. The sensor unit is configured to determine an environmental condition of the first space based on sensor data from the sensor and configured to provide at least some of the sensor data to the space controller. The controlled device is communicably coupled to the sensor unit and is operable to affect the environmental condition of the first space. The sensor unit is configured to control the controlled device independently from the space controller.
