In an ideal world, all buildings would be equipped with advanced controls, ranging from Building Management Systems (BMS) to various sensors. At Wavelengths, our process ensures secure access to data from multiple reading points, often addressing complex legacy issues. To meet this need and provide the required level of data, we utilise a range of IoT sensors.
An IoT sensor is a device integrated into a system to gather and transmit information such as water levels, air temperature, and traffic patterns to a cloud database. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables data exchange between interconnected devices over the Internet. Most commercial Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitors are IoT-enabled.
Explore a range of IoT sensors designed to optimize building management and environmental monitoring:
Function: Measure the amount of electricity running through a wire by monitoring the magnetic field generated along the wire.
Use Case: Track energy consumption and enable remote, real-time monitoring of power systems, helping manage energy needs in data centers.
Function: Monitor the amount of water vapor in the air, allowing devices like dehumidifiers to adjust the environment's humidity.
Use Case: Common in smart building management and industrial settings to manage comfort and energy use, often paired with temperature and water sensors.
Function: Measure the rate at which a liquid or gas flows past a point in a tube or pipe, with abnormal rates indicating potential issues like leaks.
Use Case: Manage water systems and detect leaks in cities; essential in smart metering devices for monitoring water and natural gas consumption.
Function: Detect changes in temperature by measuring the amount of heat in an environment.
Use Case: Monitor air or water temperature, widely used in smart buildings and smart thermostats.
Function: Measure the amount of pressure applied to a liquid or gas.
Use Case: Used for leak detection and maintaining water and heating systems in real time by monitoring pressure changes.
Function: Detect changes in chemical composition, such as radiation and pH levels in air or liquids.
Use Case: Crucial for environmental monitoring, including the detection of chemical leaks.
