Extend Your Niagara BMS with Wireless IoT Sensors - Powered by MultiTech LoRaWAN

MultiTech enables building operators and system integrators to add real-time wireless sensor data directly into the Tridium Niagara Framework – no middleware, no rewiring, no disruption to existing systems.

What is the Tridium Niagara Framework?

The Tridium Niagara Framework is the world’s leading open platform for building automation and IoT integration. It connects disparate building systems (HVAC, lighting, energy, access control) into a single, unified environment, normalising data across protocols including BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks.

Widely deployed across commercial buildings, healthcare, education, and housing estates, Niagara acts as the intelligence layer of a modern building management system (BMS).

Why most Niagara deployments are missing critical data

Niagara excels at control and integration – but it can only act on data it receives. Traditional BMS deployments rely on wired infrastructure, which creates real-world limitations:

  • High cost and disruption to extend sensor coverage to new spaces
  • Blind spots in hard-to-reach or retrofit environments
  • No real-time visibility into environmental risks like damp, leaks, or poor air quality

The result: Critical operational data never makes it into Niagara – and neither do the alerts, automations, and efficiency gains that depend on it.

How MultiTech integrates LoRaWAN sensors with Niagara

MultiTech provides a native, end-to-end pipeline from wireless sensor to Niagara – without additional middleware or parallel systems.

Step 1

Sensors capture data

Temperature, humidity, CO₂, energy, leak detection, and more

Step 2

LoRaWAN transmission

Long-range, low-power signal sent to a MultiTech gateway

Step 3

Native Niagara delivery

Data flows directly into the Niagara environment

Step 4

Niagara acts

Visualise, analyse, set alerts, and trigger automated responses

Use cases: LoRaWAN and Niagara across building types

Housing & Residential

  • Damp and mould risk monitoring
  • Early leak detection
  • Compliance and resident wellbeing

Commercial Buildings

  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring
  • Energy performance and sub-metering
  • Reduce reactive maintenance

Multi-site Estates

  • Centralised visibility across locations
    Reduce unnecessary site visits
    Rapid, non-invasive deployment

Niagara Frequently asked questions

Does MultiTech integrate directly with Tridium Niagara without middleware?

Yes. MultiTech provides a native Niagara driver, enabling LoRaWAN sensor data to flow directly into the Niagara Framework without requiring additional integration software or middleware layers.

A wide range of LoRaWAN sensors are supported, including temperature and humidity sensors, CO₂ and indoor air quality monitors, water leak detectors, energy sub-meters, and occupancy sensors.

Yes. LoRaWAN sensors are battery-powered and wireless, making them ideal for retrofit deployments where running new cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

MultiTech works with a network of certified Niagara system integrators, to deliver fully integrated, production-ready solutions.

Yes. The MultiTech and Niagara solution is designed to scale from single buildings to hundreds of sites, with centralised data visibility and management through the Niagara platform.
