Abstract
Systems and methods for automated management of buildings and rooms employ a common set of components that may be paired together to form a modular room control interface. The components may comprise a base plate and a front plate that are in data communication with each other when connected together. The base plate may include one set of room monitoring and control functions and the front plate may include a different set of room monitoring and control functions. Different combinations of base plates and front plates may then be paired together to achieve a desired functionality in the modular room control interface. Such an arrangement provides a room control interface that can be quickly and easily configured for any number of different room monitoring and control functions as needed.
