1. A method using a commissioning logic to auto-commission a plurality of network components of a hierarchical window network in a building, the plurality of network components including one or more optically switchable windows, the method comprising:
(a) determining, for each of the one or more optically switchable windows, a respective network identification (ID), and,
(b) in accordance with an architectural plan and an interconnect drawing of the hierarchical window network, pairing, with the commissioning logic, for each of the one or more optically switchable windows, the respective network ID determined in (a) with a corresponding physical location depicted in the architectural plan; and
(c) storing, in a network configuration file, information describing the pairing
(d) operating the one or more optically switchable windows through network communication using the respective network ID.
