1. A system, comprising:
one or more computing devices configured to implement:
one or more data input interfaces to a database configured to store electrochromic glass system data for an electrochromic glass system to be installed at a customer-site;
a mapping engine configured to map, based on the electrochromic glass system data, controller identifiers of controllers to be installed at the customer-site to electrochromic glass units to be installed at the customer-site, wherein the electrochromic glass units are to be controlled by controllers having the respective controller identifiers;
a project database export interface configured to export a current version of the database to be accessible by a supervisory control system at the customer-site, including a current mapping between the respective ones of the controllers to be installed at the customer-site and the respective ones of the electrochromic glass units to be installed at the customer-site;
wherein the one or more data input interfaces are configured to:
receive updated electrochromic glass system data for the electrochromic glass system; and
automatically update the database to reflect the updated electrochromic glass system data;
wherein the mapping engine is further configured to:
automatically update the current mapping based on a current set of information stored in the database for the electrochromic glass system; and
wherein the project database export interface is further configured to:
export an updated current version of the database for use by the supervisory control system at the customer-site, the updated current version of the database comprising the updated electrochromic glass system data and the updated mappings.
