Smart office
The Smart Office solution powered by ThingsBoard enables efficient monitoring of energy and water consumption, tracking of air quality and CO₂ levels, control of HVAC systems, real-time response to critical events, and overall improvement of energy efficiency and employee comfort.
Smart Office solutions are designed to optimize workplace environments by monitoring key operational parameters and automating building systems in real time. ThingsBoard, as a robust IoT platform, provides all the necessary tools for collecting, processing, and visualizing data from devices that use protocols like BLE or LoRaWAN gateways, enabling seamless integration and support for flexible solutions.
Thanks to ThingsBoard, an open-source IoT platform, it's easy to integrate and visualize data from various devices and sensors, enabling the creation of intelligent, data-driven solutions. This approach allows not only real-time monitoring of office conditions but also active management—turning systems on or off, receiving alerts, and configuring automation scenarios. All of these capabilities are fully demonstrated in our Smart Office solution.
Solution structure of smart office use case
The Smart Office solution connects devices like energy meters, HVAC, and sensors to ThingsBoard via MQTT, CoAP, or HTTP, or through a gateway with Modbus, BLE, and BACnet connectors.
This setup enables seamless data ingestion through IoT gateways or direct connections. The collected data is then visualized in real time on interactive dashboards and processed through a powerful rule engine that supports analytics and configurable alarms.
Dashboard structure of smart office solution
ThingsBoard provides a flexible dashboard system that allows for clear visualization of key metrics. In the context of the Smart Office, this includes parameters such as energy and water consumption, air quality, temperature and humidity, and the status of the HVAC system. Additionally, dashboards display alarms, enabling prompt response to any deviations from normal conditions.
