If you needed to tie to different building automation systems into a new front-end how would you do it?

Now don't just give me the answer of I would use BACnet. How would you actually do it?

What system would take charge?

Would you remove the other BAS's servers?

Would you write to each systems points at different priorities?

What even is systems integration?

That is what my new series What is systems integration seeks to address. In this episode, we unpack what the three most common types of integration are and the gotchas you need to be aware of.
