1. A system for commissioning building environmental sensors, the system comprising:
a portable electronic device comprising a processor, a receiver, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to, as the portable electronic device moves about an environment:
detect, via the receiver, each of a plurality of building environmental sensor devices that are installed in the environment;
for each of the sensor devices, in response to detecting the sensor device:
determine an identifier for the sensor device,
determine whether the sensor device is registered with a control system,
if the sensor device is registered with the control system, determine whether the sensor device requires re-commissioning,
in response to determining that the sensor device requires recommissioning, implement a commissioning process with the sensor device, and
if the sensor device is not registered with the control system, automatically implement the commissioning process with the sensor device.
