Wattsense joins LoRa Alliance to bring BMS to small and medium-size buildings

As part of its commitment to bring IoT technology and modern Building Management Systems to small and medium-size buildings, Wattsense has joined the LoRa Alliance®.

The LoRa Alliance works to enable large-scale deployment of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) IoT through the development and promotion of the LoRaWAN® open standard.

Energy waste, pollution, utility costs, government requirements, and higher expectations from tenants create the need to install or update BMS. These systems monitor air conditioning, heating, ventilation, lighting, and energy supply systems. Unfortunately, traditional BMS are primarily used in large buildings due to their cost and complexity.

With Wattsense, small and medium buildings can all be cost-effectively transformed into Smart Buildings by saving weeks on installation, maintenance and reducing on-site interventions and operational costs.

The Wattsense LoRa gateway is an IoT solution dedicated to facilitating the integration of modern BMS. Thanks to its LoRaWAN to BACnet IP/ Modbus TCP functionalities, integrators can locally access the data of any LoRaWAN sensor. At the same time, property managers can provide their tenants with energy efficiency, comfort, security, air quality, and more.

Depending on your project's technical specifications, you can use: the Box, a remotely managed IoT device that collects data and controls equipment with a Cloud Service, or the Hub, an intuitive IoT gateway and powerful controller designed for on-premises building automation.

Donna Moore, CEO, and Chairwoman, LoRa Alliance
