 automatically selecting the scene in response to at least one of the first current position, the action request list, the building system list, and a current time.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 transmitting the scene selected to the user device;   activating an alarm on the user device when the scene is received; and   displaying the scene on the user device when the scene is received.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein prior to the detecting a first current position of a user device, the method further comprises:
 detecting one or more current positions of a user device;   obtaining a building system list at each of the one or more current positions, the building system list including building systems adjustable at each of the one or more current positions;   receiving a user input from the user device at each of the one or more current positions, wherein the user input selects an action request for a building system; and   generating an action request list in response to the action request for each of the one or more current positions.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the first current position occurs at a time after each of the one or more current positions.   
     
     
         7 . A building control system comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:   detecting a first current position of a user device;   obtaining a building system list including building systems adjustable at the first current position;   obtaining an action request list including action requests transmitted from the user device to the building system on the building system list;   generating one or more scenes in response to the action request list and the building system list;   selecting a scene; and   adjusting one or more of the building systems on the building list in response to the scene.   
     
     
         8 . The building control system of  claim 7 , wherein the selecting further comprises:
 transmitting the one or more scenes to the user device;   displaying the one or more scenes on the user device; and   receiving a user input from the user device at the current first position, wherein the user input selects a scene.   
     
     
         9 . The building control system of  claim 7 , wherein the selecting further comprises:
 automatically selecting the scene in response to at least one of the first current position, the action request list, the building system list, and a current time.   
     
     
         10 . The building control system of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 transmitting the scene selected to the user device;   activating an alarm on the user device when the scene is received; and   displaying the scene on the user device when the scene is received.   
     
     
         11 . The building control system of  claim 7 , wherein prior to the detecting a first current position of a user device, the operations further comprises:
 detecting one or more current positions of a user device;   obtaining a building system list at each of the one or more current positions, the building system list including building systems adjustable at each of the one or more current positions;   receiving a user input from the user device at each of the one or more current positions, wherein the user input selects an action request for a building system; and   generating an action request list in response to the action request for each of the one or more current positions.   
     
     
         12 . The building control system of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the first current position occurs at a time after each of the one or more current positions.   
     
     
         13 . A computer program product tangibly embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
 detecting a first current position of a user device;   obtaining a building system list including building systems adjustable at the first current position;   obtaining an action request list including action requests transmitted from the user device to the building system on the building system list;   generating one or more scenes in response to the action request list and the building system list;   selecting a scene; and   adjusting one or more of the building systems on the building list in response to the scene.   
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprises:
 transmitting the one or more scenes to the user device;   displaying the one or more scenes on the user device; and   receiving a user input from the user device at the current first position, wherein the user input selects a scene.   
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the selecting further comprises:
 automatically selecting the scene in response to at least one of the first current position, the action request list, the building system list, and a current time.   
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 transmitting the scene selected to the user device;   activating an alarm on the user device when the scene is received; and   displaying the scene on the user device when the scene is received.
