What Your Customers Are Asking For

Six Conversations Every Integrator Recognizes

Niagara owns local control. These are the adjacent capabilities your customers are increasingly requesting — and exactly where IoT-LogIQ picks up.

"My customer wants to see all 12 buildings in one dashboard."
Today: Each JACE station serves its own building. Multi-site aggregation is evolving through Niagara Cloud Suite.
With IoT-LogIQ: One cloud platform, all sites, role-based access. Executives see KPIs. Technicians see equipment. White-labeled per customer.
"They want mobile dashboards — not pinch-to-zoom on a phone."
Today: px5 graphics are HTML5 and powerful, but designed for desktop. Mobile requires VPN or a third-party solution.
With IoT-LogIQ: 6 responsive breakpoints. Native iOS/Android app. Cloud-served — no VPN. Push notifications on alarms.
"Can we add IAQ sensors without running wire?"
Today: Niagara is built for wired controllers. Adding wireless sensors means custom integration per device type.
With IoT-LogIQ: LoRaWAN wireless sensors. Battery-powered. Deploy 50 in a day. Data appears on the same dashboards alongside BACnet points.
"Can the system predict failures before they happen?"
Today: Niagara Analytics provides solid rule-based fault detection for known patterns.
With IoT-LogIQ + Trendz: ML-powered predictive analytics layered on top. Anomaly detection, RUL forecasting, automated narrative reports — combining Niagara + wireless data.
"Can we ask the building a question in plain English?"
Today: Tridium's 2025 CTO white paper describes "Operator Virtual Assistant" as a key part of their AI vision for Niagara.
With IoT-LogIQ + BOB AI: That vision is available today. Ask "What is the chiller leaving water temp trend?" and get a data-backed answer. English and Spanish.
"We need to manage asset lifecycle — not just BACnet points."
Today: Niagara manages BACnet protocol objects — which are different from business assets with maintenance histories and documentation.
With IoT-LogIQ AssetIQ: Full asset lifecycle — install, commission, maintain, decommission. Document attachments, QR lookup, maintenance timeline — connected to Niagara device data.

Niagara Components + IoT-LogIQ Value-Add

Side-by-side: what Niagara provides at each layer, and exactly what IoT-LogIQ adds alongside it.

Honeywell / Niagara
IoT-LogIQ Adds
Hardware
JACE 8000 / WEB-8000
Field controller. Runs Niagara station locally. BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks drivers. Local control, scheduling, alarming.
Hardware
LoRaWAN Gateways + Wireless Sensors
No-wire deployment for IAQ, vibration, occupancy, leak, temperature. Battery-powered, 5-10yr life. 50+ sensor types from 11+ global manufacturers.
+ IoT-LogIQ Edge on any Linux box
Software — Local
Niagara Framework + Workbench
Station programming (WireSheet), px5 graphics, local alarm management. Requires Niagara-certified engineer and Workbench license.
Software — Cloud
IoT-LogIQ Platform + 500 Widgets
Cloud-served responsive SCADA HMI. Interactive SVG symbols that write back to JACE. Custom widgets in JS/HTML — no certification needed. Multi-tenant, white-label.
+ Rule chains for cloud-side logic
Analytics
Niagara Analytics Framework
Rule-based FDD. Known fault patterns. Standard report library. Requires Niagara Analytics license.
Analytics
Trendz ML + BOB AI
ML-powered anomaly detection, forecasting, remaining useful life. BOB AI: conversational operator assistant using 124 MCP tools. Setpoint write-back via rule chain.
+ What Tridium CTO described as future — built today
Mobile & Access
Browser via VPN
px5 graphics are HTML5 and browser-native. Remote access via VPN or Niagara Cloud Suite. Third-party mobile apps available in marketplace.
Mobile & Access
Native Apps + Cloud Access
iOS & Android native apps with push notifications. Responsive breakpoints for every screen size. Cloud-served — no VPN, no Workbench session, anywhere access.
+ QR code asset lookup on phone
Multi-Site
Niagara Cloud Suite
Remote station access and basic portfolio dashboard. Each station remains separate. Not a true multi-tenant SaaS platform.
Multi-Site
Multi-Tenant Portfolio Platform
System Admin → Tenant → Customer hierarchy. All sites, all data sources in one view. Independent API tokens per tenant. White-label per customer. Role-based menus.
+ Sourcewell cooperative purchasing
The AI Story

BOB: The Operator AI
Tridium's CTO Envisioned

Tridium's 2025 CTO white paper describes the pattern — AI models consuming BMS data via APIs, applying intelligence, and writing back to Niagara. IoT-LogIQ + BOB + MCP delivers exactly this architecture, available for Niagara integrators today.

1
Operator asks a question
"What is the chiller leaving water temp trend last 7 days?" — plain English or Spanish.
2
BOB calls MCP tools
124 tools at mcp.senzary.com — telemetry, assets, alerts, setpoints. BOB selects the right tool, fetches the data.
3
IoT-LogIQ returns data
Time-series telemetry from BACnet points + wireless sensors — all normalized through the Smart Industry taxonomy.
4
BOB answers with insight
Narrative answer with data context: trend direction, anomalies flagged, threshold proximity, recommended action.
5
Write-back to JACE if needed
BOB dispatches setpoint command → IoT-LogIQ rule chain → BACnet WriteProperty → JACE AO/AV at priority 8.
For integrators: When a customer asks about AI for their building, this is the answer — Niagara provides the data and control foundation, IoT-LogIQ provides the AI intelligence layer on top. It's the architecture Tridium's own CTO described, ready to deploy on your next project.
