IoT Sensors
IoT sensors are internet-connected devices that measure and transmit data such as energy consumption, temperature, or occupancy in near real time, without manual intervention.
Definition
IoT (Internet of Things) sensors are connected devices that continuously measure a physical quantity — energy draw, temperature, humidity, occupancy — and transmit that data over a network, typically Wi-Fi, cellular, or low-power wireless protocols. In energy management, IoT sensors extend monitoring beyond what standard utility meters capture, down to individual equipment or room level.
Why It Matters
IoT sensors close the visibility gap between whole-site utility metering and the individual pieces of equipment actually driving that consumption, making root-cause identification far faster.
