External Systems Integration

The capability to exchange data with other networked systems such as building or energy management systems (BMS/EMS), heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, or other lighting and building systems via BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks or other open protocols, application program interface (API) or other methods. In order to claim this “Reported” capability, the data available from the NLC for exchange with other networked systems must include occupancy status at the zone, space, or area level and energy data at the zone-, circuit- or system-level. The data the NLC can receive and interpret from other networked systems must be digital, that can be used for purposes such as scene control, zones, groups, areas, regions, and/or presets. The method, including formats and languages, by which the system
implements this capability must be clearly described in the publicly available reference(s).
