Automation

Our novel sensors and controllers automate HVAC equipment via a BMS. We specify a variety of control strategies, such as Demand Control Ventilation for AHUs and other HVAC systems. These strategies with our solution deliver: better comfort, higher energy savings and increased equipment lifetime.

We’ve got you covered.

Yes. LightFi can integrate with the BMS via:
– BACnet over IP
– API via the cloud
– 4-20mA analog

BACnet over IP is a global protocol and compatible with most BMS providers, old and new. LightFi sensors will send data to the BMS immediately as the environment changes, with out any delay. To connect LightFi devices to the BMS, you will need an Ethernet cable form LightFi’s sensors to the nearest BMS input. If there is Power over Ethernet (POE) will be powered and send data over one cable. You could utilise existing Ethernet cables, or might have to run new ones. Generally speaking a direct physical connection is more reliable than a wireless connection, and is not affected by 3G network outages for example.
