§ 03 · MODULES AND FEATURES

25 modules —
a site runs the ones it bought.

Modules are units of pricing, not a feature taxonomy. A site that only speaks Modbus does not pay for BACnet.

25 modules · 5 protocols · 1 host

Communication drivers5

  • Modbus TCP driverModbus TCP and RTU over TCP, including the octal Y/X addressing used by Delta DVP.
  • BACnet/IP driverBACnet/IP (ISO 16484-5), the protocol required by the Intelligent Building Label under “open communication protocols”.
  • Siemens S7 driverSiemens S7-300/400/1200/1500 series PLCs.
  • MQTT driverMQTT 3.1.1 for IoT sensors, gateways and cloud platforms. Raw values and JSON payloads both work, and one topic can feed several points.
  • SOAP / Web Service driverA general configurable SOAP client: endpoint, SOAPAction, request template and value path are all filled in on the settings page. The defaults are shaped for OPC XML-DA.

Alarm notification5

  • Email alarm notificationSends alarm and clear notifications over SMTP, with a severity threshold, a cooldown and a per-minute ceiling.
  • LINE alarm notificationPushes alarm and clear notifications through the LINE Messaging API, sharing the severity threshold and cooldown with email.
  • Telegram alarm notificationPushes to the duty group through the Telegram Bot API, sharing the severity threshold and cooldown with email and LINE.
  • Discord alarm notificationPushes to a chosen channel through a Discord webhook, as card messages with a severity colour bar.
  • SMS alarm notificationGateways for both Mitake and EVERY8D — pick one on the settings page and fill in the credentials. Both share a single module: the site buys “SMS”, and which gateway it uses is configuration, not an add-on. SMS is the only channel that needs neither a smartphone nor internet, which is what is left when nobody in the duty room is watching LINE.

Reporting and analysis3

  • Summary reportsHourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly summaries with CSV export.
  • Energy managementSub-metering (lighting, HVAC, power, sockets), time-of-use price allocation and energy use intensity (EUI).
  • Equipment historyRun hours, start counts and fault counts for each piece of equipment, feeding maintenance scheduling and operations metrics.

Automation1

  • Interlock controlSafety criticalAutomatic interlocks such as fire alarm releasing doors and lifts, CO exceedance starting extract fans, and demand shedding.

Control strategies7

  • Demand controlForecasts the average demand over the 15-minute window and sheds load in stages as it approaches the contracted capacity, restoring in order once it falls.
  • Lead/lag rotationTwo or more units take turns as lead to even out run hours, switching to standby automatically when the lead unit fails.
  • Energy-saving control strategiesNight setback, chilled water supply temperature reset and demand-controlled ventilation — setpoints reset against outdoor temperature, CO₂ and occupancy.
  • Optimum start/stopWorks back from the indoor/outdoor temperature difference to the latest possible start time, so the space reaches temperature exactly at opening, and stops early before closing on thermal inertia.
  • Virtual points and logic editingPoints whose value comes from an expression: temperature difference, total power, electricity use per ping (about 3.3 m²), “at least one pump running”. Arithmetic, comparison, and/or/not and if are supported, and a computed point can be trended, alarmed and put on a screen exactly like a real one.
  • Chatbot controlA Telegram bot that lets duty staff check status and issue commands from chat. Three gates: the account must be linked, it inherits that account’s control permissions, and an administrator opens each item on an allow list.
  • PLC heartbeatWrites an incrementing value to the PLC on a cycle so the PLC itself decides whether the BA system has gone silent, falling back to local control when it has.

System integration2

  • CCTV video integrationCamera configuration, a video element for floor plans, and one-click video from an alarm, mapped across equipment, rule and screen.
  • Smart building standard interface (TAICS TS-0054)Exposes a TAICS TS-0054 conformant data interchange interface for higher-level smart management platforms, and serves as the submission basis for section 6.4 “standard data formats” of the 2024 Smart Building Handbook.

Operations1

  • Automatic database backupBacks up daily, verifies the backup restores with pg_restore, and prunes expired copies automatically.

Diagnostics1

  • Fault detection and diagnosisFinds degradation and abnormal behaviour in the trend history — stuck sensors, short cycling, setpoints never reached, running without doing work, falling efficiency — and reports what to look at and what it costs. Unlike threshold alarms, this catches the case where every value is still in range but the equipment is already getting worse.

§ 09 · START THE ASSESSMENT

Three questions will tell you
whether this fits.

  1. CHK-01Which subsystems does this building have, and who installed each one?
  2. CHK-02Can you still find the point list for the Modbus devices?
  3. CHK-03Do you need to watch status, or to actually control?
  4. We prefer to ask the questions before quoting. A price given before the point count is settled is a price that will change.
