IoTBuddy

Higher Reliability, Faster Installation, Superior Accuracy | Sense the Difference
Connects analog or Modbus RTU devices to cloud services, while still allowing BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP connections for the same points.
Facilitates power over Ethernet (POE), Ethernet, or Wireless 2.4 GHz.
Small design to allow for installation in sensor housing or junction box.
Easy configuration via NFC or the IoTBuddy Hosted Web page.

  • Allows cloud IOT (MQTT, Azure, AWS) connections for sensors and field devices, with simultaneous BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP connections across the local IP network.
  • Expand your IIOT system!
  • Greatly reduces licensing, technician, and panel costs associated with cloud integration of sensors by allowing installation and network connectivity directly at the device location.
  • Accepts device connection of either two configurable analog input signals or a single Modbus RTU device.
  • Pre-configured setup for Senva sensors and devices can be saved, loaded, and set up via web interface or NFC app.
  • Connect via Ethernet or Wireless 2.4 GHz
  • Power over Ethernet (POE) version includes power pass-through for powering sensors and allows the connected sensors to be powered from existing POE equipment, utilizing power backups to allow for critical reporting with no added power cost.
  • Easily integrate any sensor to existing IT data/BAS/Cloud Service monitoring.
  • Monitored sensor data can easily be added to display on energy management, tenant, or client-facing dashboards. This is perfect for air quality, occupancy, and energy usage reporting.
  • Wireless version hosts a local access point for easy connection and setup!
  • Inputs, network, and cloud connection are configured via web page hosted from the IoTBuddy or via NFC app.
  • Connectivity Options: Modbus RS485 to Ethernet RJ45 (Cloud and BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP), Modbus RS485 to Wifi (Cloud and BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP), Analog to Ethernet or POE (Cloud and BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP), Analog to Wifi (Cloud and BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP).

This a compact communicating device for your API, cloud storage, and communication applications. Convert any Modbus RTU or analog signal to Ethernet, Power Over Ethernet (POE), or 2.4 GHz wireless (Wifi) and connect to IOT cloud services (AWS, Azure, MQTT). This connection also allows for local BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP point hosting via the local IP network. Its small profile and low power requirements allow for field mounting in device enclosures or junction boxes. Use pre-configured sensor data for Senva sensors for fast configuration.

  • Allows cloud access to sensor data in remote, network-connected spaces or buildings
  • Monitoring of sensors in network-connected retrofits or additions
  • Display data on energy management, tenant, or client-facing dashboards
  • Perfect for air quality, occupancy, and energy usage reporting
  • Add sensor monitoring to critical infrastructure
