Carrier’s MQTT connector add-on makes it fast and easy to publish data from the i-Vu building automation system (BAS) to an MQTT broker—a standard component in cloud environments. Using the MQTT standard lightweight messaging protocol for IoT, data is streamed from the BAS and automatically formatted according to the Sparkplug B specification. The BAS data is enriched with deep context, including semantic tags, so that it can be used by other enterprise-level applications to inform business decisions.
Key Features and Benefits
• Easy to deploy; compatible with all major MQTT brokers and most cloud infrastructure (IaaS) providers
• Simple configuration tool: Pick which points to publish using an intuitive user interface that leverages i-Vu’s built-in semantic tagging engine
• Published BAS data includes Project Haystack semantic tags, which provides rich context like locations, units of measure, equipment types, control program designations, and point characteristics
• Improves visibility by allowing BAS data to be shared with non-facilities personas like the C-suite, tenants, and employees
• Supports both password and X.509 certificate-based authentication
• TLS 1.3 and a built-in truststore ensure that data is transmitted securely
• Enables fast integration with Carrier Abound™ and Nlyte® software
Compatibility
• Requires i-Vu Pro v8 with cumulative patch 5 (20221114-0) or later
