BMS-grade outcomes without a multi-year BMS project.
AmbiAutomation gives commercial and institutional buildings the supervisory outcomes of a BMS — centralised control, scheduling, zone-level visibility, alarms, energy reporting — focused on the highest-impact subsystem first: the existing VRV / VRF HVAC fleet. The on-site server integrates over BACnet IP and MODBUS RTU; the supervisory application is the operator interface.
What we automate first.
VRV / VRF HVAC (primary)
Existing multi-zone air-conditioning fleets are the core AmbiAutomation use case: centralised scheduling, setpoint policy, zone-level visibility, and alarms.
HVAC plant interfaces
Where chillers, AHUs, VAVs, FCUs, or meters expose BACnet IP or MODBUS, the on-site server brings them into the same supervisory view.
Energy visibility
HVAC run-hours, zone consumption, and meter data exposed for tenant attribution, sustainability reporting, and audit.
Existing-BMS coexistence
Where a head-end BMS is already in place, AmbiAutomation operates as an HVAC-focused sub-system, exposing data northbound over HTTPS / JSON.
South-side protocols. North-side cleanliness.
On the equipment side, the on-site server communicates with HVAC equipment over BACnet IP and MODBUS RTU. On the operator side, it presents a secure supervisory application — never exposing field protocols to the public internet. North-side integration with existing facility-management or analytics platforms uses HTTPS / JSON with authenticated webhooks.
- BACnet IP, MODBUS RTU, and MODBUS TCP/IP on the equipment side
- HTTPS / JSON north-side API for analytics or BMS coexistence
- Webhooks for alarms and audit events
- Encrypted backhaul over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, GPRS / CAT 1, or NB-IoT
- No inbound holes in the building's firewall
Talk to us before you scope a full BMS replacement.
Most commercial and institutional buildings get more from a focused HVAC automation deployment than from a multi-year BMS project. Send a short site brief and our engineering team will return a deployment shape and timeline within one business day.
