BACnet to LoRaWAN Integration
BACnet is the language of building automation. MatrixAI integrates LoRaWAN in both directions: presenting wireless sensors as native BACnet objects to the BMS, and extending BACnet devices to locations that are difficult to wire.
- What problem do we solve?
- BMS teams want new IoT data inside the BMS they already operate — not in a separate dashboard. At the same time, adding wired BACnet points to existing buildings is costly.
- How do we solve it?
- MatrixAI engineers the BACnet IP / MS/TP ↔ LoRaWAN conversion — device audit, converter selection, mapping, decoding and commissioning.
- What technologies do we use?
- BACnet, LoRaWAN, network server codecs, MQTT / REST
- What can we integrate?
- IoT platforms, BMS, CAFM, SCADA, billing and cloud services

How we do it
Engineering steps
- 01Define the BACnet object list (AI, AV, BI, BV, MSV) for every LoRaWAN device
- 02Deploy a BACnet/IP server gateway or edge controller linked to the LoRaWAN network server
- 03Map decoded LoRaWAN values to BACnet objects with units and COV
- 04Map BACnet writes to LoRaWAN downlink commands where control is required
- 05Test discovery and trending with the BMS vendor
Typical data points
- Temperature, humidity, CO₂
- Leak and door status
- Meter values
- Thermostat setpoints and modes
Use cases
- Wireless points for BMS extensions
- Retrofit IAQ and leak detection into the BMS
- Wireless thermostats controlled from the BMS

FAQ
BACnet integration questions
Will LoRaWAN sensors appear as normal BACnet points?
Yes. Through a BACnet server gateway, each sensor value is exposed as a standard BACnet object that the BMS can discover, trend and alarm on.
