Every industry asks different questions – baiond answers them in your words.
All industriesWe build the data journey for your case – let’s talk.
One data layer, seven functions, answers in plain language.
All functionsTwelve sensor families, every variant, and the ones we build for you.
All sensorsEnergy sensors show where your electricity and heat go, per building, floor or machine, updated at short intervals. You see the base load at night, the peak before it costs you and the device that draws more than it should.
A monthly utility bill tells you what you spent, not where. Energy sensors close that gap: a smart meter on the main feed, clamp-on current sensors on the circuits that matter – cooling, ventilation, lighting – and baiond shows which part of the building uses what, at which hour.
The sensors send their readings wirelessly to the baiond Gateway, which also reads the meters your building already has. Say the night readings in a store show the refrigeration base load rising by 18 % within a month, and the cause turns out to be a worn door seal on a cold room. Instead of a line on next quarter’s invoice, it becomes a work order the same week.
Pick the variant that fits the place. Whatever you choose, the readings arrive in the same platform and answer the same questions.
Electricity meter
Electricity use at short intervals, per building, room or machine.
A smart meter records consumption continuously instead of once a month. It shows usage patterns, peak demand and power quality, and reports automatically. It is the starting point for finding waste, forecasting costs and proving savings against a sustainability target.
CT clamp
Load on a single circuit or device, clamped on without rewiring.
A current sensor measures the current through a cable, usually with a clamp around it. It shows the load of one device – a compressor, an air handling unit, a pump – and flags unusual draw before it turns into overheating or a breakdown. Because nothing is disconnected, it suits existing buildings.
Over- and undervoltage before it damages equipment.
A voltage sensor checks that circuits stay within a safe range. Drops, surges and fluctuations are recorded with a time stamp, so a failing device can be matched to what happened on the supply. Combined with a current sensor it gives the real power drawn.
Watt meter
The exact energy draw of one appliance or system.
A power sensor measures current and voltage together and calculates the active power a device really uses. That makes it the tool for an energy audit at device level: which fridge, which oven, which lighting circuit costs the most. Some models also record reactive and apparent power.
Powers itself from light, motion or vibration – no battery changes.
These sensors take the little energy they need from their surroundings: light, motion or vibration. They measure conditions rather than consumption, and fit places that are hard to reach or have no power line. Fewer battery changes means less maintenance across a large site.
How much of the power you pay for does useful work.
A power factor sensor shows how efficiently power is turned into work. A low value means reactive loads – motors, older lighting – waste capacity, and utilities may charge for it. The reading tells you where compensation pays off.
Heat flow sensor
Where heat escapes and how well heating and cooling perform.
A thermal energy sensor measures heat flow through a surface or a heating and cooling circuit. It shows how well insulation holds, where energy is lost and whether the HVAC system delivers what it should. Together with temperature and occupancy data it is the basis for a retrofit decision.
Phase loss, imbalance or reversal in three-phase systems.
In three-phase systems, motors and heavy equipment need the phases in the right order and balance. A phase detection sensor reports a missing phase, an imbalance or a reversed sequence promptly – ideally before a motor runs hot or a machine is damaged.
Every variant at a glance, with the protocols the readings travel on.

A question this sensor answers, the way baiond answers: readings, reasons, a recommendation and the source.
The sensor reports to the baiond Gateway, the Space System puts the reading in context (location, threshold, history), and the AI agent turns it into an answer.
Source: Smart meter · BMS via baiond Gateway · Space System
The base load ran at 48 kW from Friday 18:00 to Monday 06:00 instead of the usual 19 kW. That is 1,390 kWh more than a normal weekend, and 85 % of it sits on the ventilation and chiller circuits.
Reset the ventilation override for floors 2–4 and add a rule: an override ends at 20:00 unless someone confirms it. I can flag any weekend base load above 25 kW from now on.

Understood. I keep watching Campus B · Main meter and let you know if anything changes.
Where this sensor carries the answer.
In most buildings the existing meters stay. The baiond Gateway reads them over the building’s own protocols, and wireless sensors fill the gaps where no meter exists yet.
Clamp-on current sensors are placed around the cable, so nothing is disconnected. An electrician still fits them in the distribution board.
Ask baiond. It compares the night base load with the usual value, splits it by circuit and names the systems still running, for example ventilation on a weekday schedule.
Yes, as a data source. baiond keeps the readings per building and period, so the report can draw on measured consumption instead of estimates. Exports and dashboards come from the same data.
