Connected Technologies has integrated best-in-class LoRaWAN wireless sensors with its Connect ONE® cloud security management platform, giving security dealers a wireless option for temperature, humidity and door/window monitoring applications.
The integration addresses a specific need identified by a Connect ONE dealer and its customer, a company operating warehouses throughout the country. Previously, the customer hired local contractors to install wired monitoring systems at each facility. The new wireless sensors allow the dealer to ship equipment directly to individual locations for simplified self-installation.
“A dealer came to us, about to lose a customer to a manufacturer that sells direct. The customer needed a system for wine storage monitoring that was easier to install than hardwiring each warehouse. We had the integration in place in a matter of weeks, and it helped the dealer retain the customer and the recurring monthly revenue associated with the account.”
