by Brianna Crandall — May 4, 2016 — Autani, a Columbia, Maryland-based provider of building controls and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, announces the addition of EnOcean-enabled device support to its EnergyCenter building management platform. Autani is now a member of the nonprofit EnOcean Alliance, formed to establish innovative automation solutions for sustainable building projects.
Wireless, self-powered devices from a wide range of EnOcean Alliance partners (currently nearly 400) can now be used to switch and dim lighting, respond to motion and daylighting sensors, and interface with an array of building controls through the EnergyCenter platform.
EnergyCenter users can now integrate more types of devices than ever before into their systems for a comprehensive, user-friendly, low-maintenance energy management platform in a single, pre-integrated package.
Eric Gustafson, product engineering director, Autani, explained:
Because EnergyCenter is an open IoT platform, customers can integrate with EnOcean devices for local area control, and backhaul data over autaniNet to EnergyCenter. From there, data is accessible via BACnet or a native Tridium Niagara AX driver.
Autani is a building automation provider. At the core of its product offering is EnergyCenter, a building management platform that connects lighting, metering, HVAC, refrigeration, and sensors to control, monitor, and verify energy consumption through a single, powerful system with either wireless or wired connectivity.
