Problem
Commercial and institutional buildings often rely on separate, high-voltage wiring systems for lighting, power, and environmental sensors, leading to complex installations, higher costs, and fragmented control interfaces that hinder efficient building management.
Solution
Cinch IoT offers a low-voltage two-wire twisted‑pair platform that consolidates lighting, power distribution, and environmental monitoring into a single intelligent control plane. The system uses a unified wiring architecture to simplify design and reduce installation time and material costs. Real‑time data on air quality, temperature, humidity, CO₂, and space utilization are collected and presented through a cloud‑based dashboard, enabling operators to optimize energy use and occupant comfort. Integration points such as BACnet and Active Directory allow seamless incorporation with existing building management systems, while customizable lighting scenes and automated controls support sustainable, high‑performance building operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are building owners, facility managers, and developers of commercial, institutional, and multi‑tenant properties seeking streamlined installation and centralized smart‑building control.
