Stand-Alone Remote Monitoring

Are you looking for a simple solution?

Our own statistics gathered over the past decade tell us that more than 50% of users of remote monitoring services never log into any web site to check on their remote monitoring. They simply expect to get text messages on their mobile phone when their attention is needed.

Babel Buster IoT configured for stand-alone remote monitoring is the ideal do-it-yourself remote monitoring system. You get simple yet powerful remote monitoring without the need for a monitoring service.

Built-in alarm monitoring watches your equipment and sends emailed text messages directly to your mobile phone alerting you to problems. You decide what events you want to know about and use a simple text message template to create the notification.

Cloud Based Remote Monitoring

Control Solutions remote monitoring devices can operate stand-alone or cloud connected using the industry standard MQTT protocol. Options for MQTT broker include Amazon AWS IoT, Mosquitto MQTT, and ThingsBoard. You can host Mosquitto MQTT or the community edition of ThingsBoard on your own server if you wish. Any commercial MQTT broker derived from or compatible with Mosquitto MQTT is also likely to work just fine.

Babel Buster IoT devices connect to ThingsBoard

Control Solutions MQTT clients include features specific to ThingsBoard that allow MQTT interaction with graphic widgets on the dashboard. Data published by the Babel Buster IoT Gateway can show up as real-time gauge indications or charts. Input from the dashboard such as knob adjustments or switch changes will be immediately reported to the Babel Buster IoT Gateway and those changes are immediately accessible as local device data.
