IOT & SMART BUILDING MONITORING

IoT Facility Monitoring

Know before the complaint, the puddle, or the shutdown.

Connected sensors help teams notice important physical conditions between walkthroughs. Comnexiom connects the reading to a person, a response, and ongoing device care.

An add-on for Comnexiom IT clients, also available on its own. Priced separately from Managed IT. Alerts are monitored 24x7 and go to a named person.

That's no moon. It's a facility risk worth watching.

FROM SIGNAL TO ACTION

Small droids. Useful habits.

Water, temperature, air quality, power, occupancy, and equipment conditions become more useful when the alert has a clear owner. We plan placement, gateways, access, thresholds, notifications, escalation, batteries, and lifecycle care around your operation.

QUICK ANSWER

IoT Facility Monitoring uses connected sensors, gateways and alerts to watch physical conditions for business and facility teams. The work includes selecting a useful condition, planning connectivity and routing alerts to a named responder. IoT monitoring is an add-on, scoped and priced separately from Managed IT, and hardware, software and licenses are sold separately.

INSIDE A SMART BUILDING

Where the sensors go, and what they watch.

Every sensor is placed where a problem starts, and every reading reports through one gateway to a named person.

Sensor placements inside a two-story small business buildingTwo-story small business building. Water leak sensors are under the break-room sink, beside the water heater and on the server-room floor. Temperature and humidity sensors are in the network closet and walk-in cooler or storage room. Air-quality sensors are in the open office and conference room. Motion sensors watch the main entrance and back door for after-hours activity. Power monitoring is at the electrical panel, a smart button is at the front desk, and restroom monitoring is in the restroom. Every sensor sends its readings to a central LoRaWAN gateway near the network closet.SECOND FLOORGROUND FLOORServer room /network closetOpen officeConference roomBreak roomSinkUtility roomWalk-in cooler /storage roomFront deskRestroomMain entranceBack doorWLeak · server floorTTemp + humidityAAir qualityAAir qualityWLeak · sinkWLeak · heaterTTemp + humidityMEntrance activityMBack-door activityPPower · panelBService buttonRRestroom conditionsGATEWAYLoRaWAN · near network closet

    In the network closet and cooler or storage room to watch environmental changes.

  • Indoor air quality

    In the open office and conference room to follow occupied-room conditions.

  • Motion / occupancy

    At the main entrance and back door to flag after-hours activity.

  • Power monitoring

    At the electrical panel to watch power conditions.

  • Smart button

    At the front desk so a person can request service.

  • Restroom monitoring

    In the restroom to report conditions that need attention.

  • LoRaWAN gateway

    Central, near the network closet, to relay every sensor reading.

THE MISSION, STEP BY STEP

How a sensor alert reaches you

  1. Sensor detects a change

    Water, temperature or air quality

  2. LoRaWAN gateway

    Relays the sensor reading

  3. Cloud monitoring

    Checks the alert conditions

  4. Your phone receives an alert

    Text or email notification

  5. Comnexiom responds

    Coordinates the next step

Sensor readings travel through a LoRaWAN gateway to cloud monitoring. A text or email alert reaches your phone, and Comnexiom responds.
TRY THE SERVER CLOSET DEMO

Watch a server closet. Then cause a little trouble.

This panel shows the kind of readings a monitored server closet sends. Press a button to trigger an alert and see what happens next. Nothing here is connected to a real sensor.

KEEP IT USEFUL AFTER INSTALLATION

EVEN AN ASTROMECH NEEDS MAINTENANCE.

We agree who checks device health, connectivity, batteries, calibration where needed and changes to alert recipients, so a sensor stays part of a working response after the installer leaves. Monitoring supplements your operating procedures and does not replace required life-safety systems.

PAIRS WITH MANAGED IT

ONE TEAM FOR THE NETWORK AND THE SENSORS ON IT.

Sensors report over gateways on their own segmented network. When Comnexiom already manages your IT, the same team owns the network, the gateway and the alert. IoT is an add-on, priced separately from Managed IT.

WALK THE BASE

Turn a facility concern into a pilot plan.

BEFORE WE START

The right sensor is only part of the mission.

Retailers can compare entrance traffic with staffing. Restaurants can watch cooler temperatures, water leaks and service requests. Property teams can monitor empty spaces between visits. We choose one condition, confirm the installation and connectivity, and test the full alert-to-response path. IoT is a separately scoped service and is not included in unlimited IT projects. Hardware, software and licenses are sold separately.

RETAIL & RESTAURANTS

The sensors should fit the way your operation works.

Restaurants & Food Service

A walk-in warms overnight, a sink leaks before opening, and managers chase paper logs across shifts.

Explore the next step ↗

Retail Stores

Entrance traffic, stock checks and unnoticed leaks compete for the same manager’s attention. Guesswork makes staffing and service harder.

IoT Facility Monitoring FAQ

What makes a facility sensor useful beyond the reading?

The reading needs a meaningful threshold, a monitored alert, a named responder and a tested escalation process tied to the facility's work.

How does a sensor reading reach the response team?

In the illustrated flow, the sensor reports through a LoRaWAN gateway to cloud monitoring, which routes a text or email alert and supports Comnexiom's response.

Can facility monitoring run without permanent internet?

Cellular-based gateways can connect monitoring at sites without permanent internet. The pilot should confirm coverage and the full alert path.
