Understanding LoRaWAN in 10 Minutes
Have you heard of LoRaWAN, but terms like “gateway,” “uplink,” “downlink,” or “spreading factor” still seem confusing? Don’t worry: you don’t need to be a radio expert to understand how a LoRaWAN network works. Just imagine a temperature sensor installed in a utility room or a meeting room. This […]
How do you integrate a LoRaWAN thermostatic valve into a BMS ?
In buildings equipped with water-filled radiators, heating control is often localized and difficult to monitor. Setpoints are adjusted directly on each thermostatic head, without always taking into account occupancy schedules, the actual needs of each room, or the energy strategy defined in the Building Management System. The thermostatic valve […]
LoRa Input/Output Module: How to Control Devices Without Running Cables?
In an existing building, adding a control point or retrieving the status of a piece of equipment can quickly require several dozen meters of cable, drilling, and work in occupied areas. A LoRa input/output module allows this information and these commands to be transmitted wirelessly, making it easier to integrate remote equipment into […]
How do you deploy a private LoRaWAN network?
A private LoRaWAN network allows sensors to be connected to a radio infrastructure operated directly by the company. Unlike a public LoRaWAN network, the gateways and network server are deployed to meet the site’s specific needs. This architecture is particularly well-suited for commercial buildings, industrial sites, and real estate complexes that wish to centralize their data […]
LoRa Black Ball Sensor: Better Control of Gas Radiators
In a warehouse, workshop, or high-rise building, gas radiant heaters do not heat the air in the same way as a traditional heating system. They primarily transfer their heat by radiation, directly to surfaces, equipment, and occupants. In this context, simply measuring the room temperature is not enough […]
Measuring Indoor Air Quality
Measuring indoor air quality makes it possible to transform subjective impressions—stuffy air, humidity, discomfort—into concrete, actionable data. In an office, school, daycare center, or any other occupied building, air quality changes throughout the day. It depends in particular on the number of occupants, the […]
Top 5 Reasons to Adopt LoRa Sensors for Building Management Systems (BMS)
At a time when the BACS regulation and soaring energy costs are driving the need for rapid modernization of building fleets, integrating IoT solutions is no longer an option. For Building Management System (BMS) integrators, the challenge is significant: deploying solutions quickly without disrupting operations and ensuring rock-solid reliability. Historically […]
LoRa Easy vs. LoRaWAN: Which Mode Should You Choose for the “ BMS ”?
The LoRaWAN communication protocol was developed by the LoRa Alliance. The goal of this initiative is to enable IoT devices to transmit their data over a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN). There are currently several technologies on the market capable of connecting to an LPWAN. But what is the difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN technologies?
Optimize your integration with LoRa Easy gateways
Are you a BMS integrator BMS projects demand a lot of your time and energy? Are you looking for a quick and effective solution? Using wireless sensors eliminates the need for cable runs, reduces costs, and saves valuable time. However, integrating LoRaWAN sensors with LoRaWAN gateways can quickly become […]
Building Automation: Combining LoRaWAN Sensors and Building Management Systems for Optimal Efficiency
Climate control has become a critical issue in modern buildings, both for occupant comfort and energy efficiency. Integrating wireless sensors into Building Automation Systems (BAS) enables effective climate control within the building. What is Climate Control? Climate control refers to the set of devices and […]
