Abstract

See full text

A building management system (BMS) gateway comprises a BMS router and a water heater hub configured to be communicatively coupled to a plurality of water heaters. The BMS router facilitates communication of status and control data between a BMS and the water heaters connected to the water heater hub. Connecting multiple water heaters to a single BMS gateway provides simplified installation and networking requirements. For installations with more water heaters than are able to be coupled to the water heater hub, additional BMS gateways may be installed. Local controls for water heaters managed by the BMS are typically disabled or overwritten by the BMS to prevent changes to settings. A local BMS user interface (UI) is configured to connect with the BMS gateway(s) and facilitate secure access, display, and/or adjustment of water heater status and control data for the plurality of water heaters connected to the BMS gateway(s).
