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 a technical headache.
LoRaWAN gateways typically require manual decoding of the data frames from the sensors they communicate with. They also generally do not decode data frames into protocols compatible with your building management system, such as Modbus or BACnet. To do this, you will need time and a certain level of knowledge of JSON and Node-RED.
With LoRa Easy receivers, say goodbye to integration headaches.
About LoRa Easy Receivers
Enless LoRa receivers simplify the integration of Enless sensors into your building management system. Unlike traditional open LoRaWAN gateways, our receivers—though proprietary—are designed for plug-and-play operation with Enless sensors, which greatly simplifies the setup of the wireless system.
Benefits of proprietary Enless LoRa receivers:
Native data decoding
Data streams from Enless sensors are automatically interpreted, eliminating the need for custom scripts or specific programming skills.
Automatic conversion to Modbus tables or BACnet objects
The data is directly converted into Modbus tables or BACnet objects, ready to be integrated into your building management system.
Simplified technical support
With an end-to-end solution that covers everything from transmission to reception, we manage the entire communication chain, ensuring fast and effective support.
Comparison: LoRa Easy Receivers vs. Private LoRaWAN Gateways
LoRa Easy |
Private LoRaWAN |
|
| Communication | For use with Enless sensors only | With all LoRaWAN sensors |
| Data decoding | Automatic and native | Generally requires manual decoding |
| Modbus/BACnet Conversion | Automatic and native | Generally requires manual decoding |
| Sensor Safety | A unique LoRa ID key | Three keys (DEVEUI, APPEUI, APPKEY) are required |
| Easy to install | Plug-and-play | Sometimes complex |
Enless LoRa Easy Receivers LoRa Easy Less is more!
LoRa Easy receivers offer an ideal solution for system integrators looking to reduce the complexity of their projects without compromising on efficiency. Although limited to Enless sensors, they save a considerable amount of time thanks to their ease of use and the conversion of data frames into Modbus tables or BACnet objects.
When should you choose LoRaWAN gateways?
LoRaWAN gateways remain an excellent choice if your project requires an open radio architecture that is compatible with sensors from various manufacturers. They also generally offer greater radio capacity than a proprietary LoRa receiver (an Enless receiver can handle up to 50 sensors). However, they often require a greater investment in terms of cost and programming time. It should be noted that an increasing number of LoRaWAN gateway manufacturers now provide pre-decoded sensor libraries on their gateways to simplify the integrator’s work.
