IoT in building management

Smart buildings with LoRaWAN

Thanks to the rapid development of modern sensor technologies and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), buildings are now becoming smarter and more energy-efficient. Wireless technologies such as LoRaWAN are becoming increasingly popular both for retrofitting existing buildings and for new builds. The advantages are obvious: there is no need for time-consuming cable laying, the technology has a long range and operation is energy-efficient and cost-effective. The radio signals penetrate walls and reach into cellars, shafts and wells. This makes LoRaWAN an ideal complement to wired technologies such as BACnet, KNX & Co. This makes it easy to network building complexes and even entire neighborhoods. The LoRaWAN sensors are generally battery-operated and can be used for up to 10 years without changing the batteries thanks to their highly energy-efficient operation.

Are you wondering whether LoRaWAN could be the right solution for your building?
We will take a look at your project together and provide you with comprehensive advice.

Integration into existing building management systems

Expand your existing building automation with the benefits of modern IoT connectivity. With Actility, wireless sensors can be seamlessly integrated into various building management systems, such as Niagara. Devices and systems that communicate via Modbus or BACnet can also be easily integrated, ideal for companies with distributed locations or multiple buildings looking for a scalable solution.

This allows you to record energy, climate, room and security data in real time without having to completely replace your existing infrastructure. Open, flexible architectures make your building automation future-proof.

  • Easy integration of IoT sensors into existing Niagara infrastructure thanks to LoRaWAN wireless technology
  • Direct access to Actility's comprehensive network server device library with payload drivers for fast commissioning. The library includes drivers for more than 600 IoT sensor models.
  • Setup with up to 5 gateways possible for larger areas to ensure macro-diversity and redundancy.
