Data sources

Start from the equipment you already have

Your buildings already produce data: meters, the BMS, energy suppliers, internal files. Octowise connects to them as they are, without asking you to replace what works.

Reliable data, shared across teams

Data that stops without warning is more dangerous than data you never had: it quietly skews every analysis. Octowise tracks the status of each source and flags an interruption as soon as it happens. If a device uses a protocol that is not yet supported, we add it.

Once collected, the data does not stay locked in the tool. It also feeds your own analytics and reporting solutions, so energy, operations, and data teams all work from the same foundation.

Building Automation

BACnet

Connect to building automation systems using BACnet/IP. Octowise reads points, properties, and trends from BACnet devices.

Modbus

Read data from Modbus-compatible energy meters, sensors, and controllers. Configurable register mappings and data types.

KNX

Group addresses are read through a KNX/IP interface: lighting, HVAC, consumption.

OPC-UA

Connect to OPC-UA servers for industrial automation and building management. Certificate-based authentication and complex data structures.

SNMP

Poll SNMP-compatible network equipment and sensors to collect availability and consumption metrics.

Energy Providers & Services

Enedis

Access electricity consumption from Enedis smart meters via the authorized API (OAuth). Load curves and historical data for analysis.

GRDF

Connect to GRDF gas meter data via available interfaces. Import consumption data for gas-powered systems and heating installations.

Wattsense API

Retrieve meter and sensor data via the Wattsense API to centralize multi-site energy telemetry.

OpenWeather

Temperature and weather conditions are used to set a consumption curve against climate, including when a climate adjustment is applied.

Local Utilities

Local utilities via API, file, or database. Format and delivery are configured on the source.

IoT & Sensors

LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN networks: gateways and network servers, for remote sensors that are often battery-powered.

Zigbee

Integrate Zigbee-compatible sensors and devices via compatible gateways. Collect data from smart meters, temperature sensors, and other Zigbee devices in building automation networks.

MQTT

Subscribe to MQTT topics for real-time IoT telemetry. Brokers with authentication and TLS, flexible message parsing.

IT & External Sources

API

Connect external systems via an API: authentication and scheduled collection.

Excel / CSV

Import consumption history from Excel or CSV files with configurable parsing rules.

FTP / SFTP

Automatically retrieve data files from FTP or SFTP servers for scheduled ingestion.

Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server: query existing repositories and synchronize historical records.
