Accessing and integrating your sensor data
Our technology is system agnostic, so the data from our sensors can be used in any way you need
Flexible and interoperable sensor technology
Essentially, the way you access data depends on what you want to use the data for. There are different options to choose from, making it easy to get your data in the way that’s right for you.
Access your sensor data in a spreadsheet
Ideal for testing validation of sensor data, proof of concepts (POCs) or small sensing projects. Our sensor data to spreadsheet functionality offers a simple way of viewing data from Pressac sensors without the complications of setting up a real IoT solution.
Our smart gateway can receive live sensor data from sensors within 30 metres line of sight, and send it directly into Google Sheets. You’ll have the ability for multiple gateways to write to a single sheet if required.
Take a look at our Google set-up guide to learn more.
Integrate live sensor data into your software or IoT platform
If you want to gather and analyse sensor data to manage your whole building, this is your best option. It is also the most suitable choice if you want to introduce a smart system, such as workspace occupancy monitoring.
Our smart gateway receives real-time data wirelessly from all sensors within range (30 metres line of sight), converts the raw data into an easy-to-use JSON format, time-stamps it, then publishes it using MQTT protocol.
Data can be sent locally or to the cloud – via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi – to any MQTT broker, or securely (TLS) to IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure or AWS loT platforms.
Our gateway interface lets you quickly and easily connect directly with your chosen MQTT broker for seamless integration, or one of the leading IoT platforms for further data processing, analysis and storage before integrating with your application.
Take a look at our set-up guides to read more.
Visualise sensor data using Node-RED
Our smart gateway gives you the option of creating a local dashboard using Node-RED. This allows you to create your own simple dashboard to visualise the data in real time.
To make it even easier to visualise your data, we’ve created three pre-made Node-RED flows that create dashboards to display energy, environment or occupancy data.
Take a look at our Node-RED set-up guide to learn more.
Integrate data into an existing building management system
Using a third-party gateway, sensor data can be used in systems with protocols such as Modbus and BACnet, letting you monitor, control and report within an existing building management system.
Connect sensors directly to EnOcean controllers
Our sensors can send the data to a smart actuator, which in turn can controls aspects of your building such as heating, lighting and machinery. For example, if it receives data that a window has been opened, the air conditioning can be switched off.
This simple method gives you automated control without collecting or storing unnecessary data.

Our wireless smart repeater is a cost-effective way to increase sensors’ range, allowing them to transmit data over a larger distance or where obstructions occur.
Measure the ambient temperature in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Our three-channel temperature sensors measure temperature at up to three different points, and can be used for water, air or surface temperature measurements.
Our smart gateways receive live data from multiple sensors and securely send it to your preferred on-premise or cloud platform, via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi. Enabling you to easily integrate sensor data into your systems.
Accurately detect the presence of people sitting around a table. The small, discreet sensors simply stick to the underside of the table and send an instant update when occupancy is detected.
Detect people going in and out of a single doorway. The small sensors are mounted above a doorway and send a message wirelessly each time a person enters or exits through the doorway.
Automatically detect open doors or windows around your building, including doors on cupboards, cabinets and fridges. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure the ambient temperature and relative humidity in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure ambient carbon dioxide (CO2), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter (PM1/2.5/4/10), temperature and relative humidity, all in a single sensor.
Monitor occupancy, light, sound, temperature and humidity, all in a single sensor. Producing near real-time, highly accurate data which you can use to ensure your room conditions are at optimum levels at all times.
Measure the energy consumption in any single-phase or three-phase cable from 1-600A. Wireless and self-powered, so they’re non-intrusive and maintenance-free.
Monitor the status of any equipment that has a dry contact output, such as UPS status, security systems, fire alarms or air conditioning units. They’re wireless and self-powered, making them easy to install and maintenance-free.
Turn ‘dumb’ meters into ‘smart’ meters. Pulse counters report the number of pulses from electricity (per kWh), water (per m³), or general meters (per count), as well as machinery and equipment with a pulse output.
