1. A method for guided installation of building equipment, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user device, a request for a wiring diagram for wiring a first piece of building equipment to a second piece of building equipment, the request indicating that a user selected the first piece of building equipment and the second piece of building equipment using a first graphical user interface at the user device;
responsive to the receiving the request, identifying one or more first wiring configurations associated with the first piece of building equipment and one or more second wiring configurations associated with the second piece of building equipment, the identified one or more first wiring configurations and one or more second wiring configurations being among a plurality of wiring configurations stored in a memory prior to the receiving the request;
responsive to the receiving the request, generating a list of potential wiring configurations by (1) retrieving the one or more first wiring configurations and the one or more second wiring configurations from the memory, (2) comparing the one or more first wiring configurations with the one or more second wiring configurations, and (3) identifying a first wiring configuration of the one or more first wiring configurations that is compatible with a second wiring configuration of the one or more second wiring configurations based on the comparison;
automatically selecting, from the generated list, an equipment-specific wiring configuration for wiring the first piece of building equipment to the second piece of building equipment; and
providing a second graphical user interface to the user device, the second graphical user interface comprising a wiring diagram illustrating the equipment-specific wiring configuration wherein the providing the second graphical user interface includes at least one of transmitting the wiring diagram over a network to the user device for display or displaying the wiring diagram at the user device.
