2.1 BMS Integration & Device Connectivity

DeviceBoard supports building systems via:

✔ BACnet (via IoT Gateway)

✔ Modbus devices (via IoT Gateway)

✔ OPC-UA-based industrial building controllers

✔ KNX, DALI & proprietary lighting systems

✔ SNMP for networking infrastructure

✔ LoRaWAN elevators, sensors, and energy meters

✔ BLE presence sensors

✔ Smart thermostats & occupancy devices

✔ Metering devices over MQTT/HTTP/CoAP

All these devices are unified under a single interface in DeviceBoard Dashboards.

2.2 HVAC Monitoring & Optimization

DeviceBoard provides full HVAC system monitoring:

• Temperature & humidity control
• AHU/FCU/Chiller operations
• VAV damper position
• Return air CO₂ readings
• Chiller energy consumption
• Predictive maintenance for compressors/pumps
• Intelligent cooling/heating algorithms

Automations:

IF CO₂ > 1500 ppm THEN increase fresh air intake.
IF occupancy = low THEN reduce cooling set point by 1.5°C.
IF chiller load < 30% THEN adjust staging for energy efficiency.

Benefits:

✔ Lower energy bills
✔ Better comfort for occupants
✔ Extended equipment lifespan

2.3 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Intelligence

Monitor:

• CO₂
• PM2.5
• VOC
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Airflow

AI models classify room health and generate recommendations.

Example Automation:

IF CO₂ > threshold AND occupancy detected
THEN increase ventilation and notify facility team.

DeviceBoard dashboards visually highlight IAQ across floors & rooms.

2.4 Energy Management & Analytics

DeviceBoard aggregates data from:

• Electrical meters
• DG sets / backup power
• Solar inverters
• Water/gas meters

Energy components:

• Real-time consumption
• Phase-level voltage & current
• Power factor
• Load balance analytics
• AI-driven energy forecasting
• Peak demand predictions
• Wastage detection

Example:
“Show me today’s energy consumption by floors.”

DeviceBoard automatically generates an analytics dashboard or report.

2.5 Smart Lighting Automation

Integrations supported:

• DALI/KNX (via gateway)
• Zigbee lighting systems
• LoRaWAN lighting nodes
• Occupancy-based lighting

Automation possibilities:

• Daylight harvesting
• Occupancy-triggered lighting
• Scheduled lighting cycles
• AI-based energy optimization

RulesFlow examples:

IF occupancy = 0 for 10 minutes THEN turn off lights.
IF ambient light > 500 lux THEN dim lights to 40%.

2.6 Occupancy & Space Utilization Analytics

DeviceBoard integrates:

• PIR sensors
• BLE beacons
• Door counters
• Smart access systems
• Camera-based occupancy analytics (via AI models)

Provides insights:
