Atamate | Control apps overview

Every deployment of ABOS involves an Atamate Hub which provides local control for all systems within the property.

It is an edge computer that subscribes to the Atamate Control Apps necessary to perform the required functions to operate the building.

It also processes data collected from devices (sensors, actuators, third party hardware).

The Hub hosts all the Atamate Control Apps necessary to run the building including HVAC, Entry & security, Lighting and Specialist systems. The Hub also provides a link between the ABOS system and the Atamate Cloud. Data processed by the Hub is securely uploaded to a cloud based service.

The Hub allows access to a local User Interface (UI) to allow building managers and users to interact with the Control Apps and therefore the systems installed in a building.

A core principle of Atamate is that buildings should be responsive to users. The Occupancy App uses the large number of sensors available in a room to accurately detect the presence of people in a room. This information is then made available to all other Control Apps so that systems are able to offer fine tuned control of the building reducing cost and improving efficiency.

What makes Atamate different?

To facilitate simple installation and extendability, the Hub allows for over the air updates. Provisioning and commissioning can be achieved off site, greatly reducing staff costs. To expand an existing system, new software is uploaded remotely.

The Hub includes machine learning within its code allowing the software to ‘learn’ how the building is being used and further improve the efficiency of the building and comfort of the occupants.

The Hub has a very small physical footprint, in a dwelling it can fit in a conventional double electrical back box, so can be installed discretely within a new build or retrofit project.
