OverviewTower Control by Wattsense is a lightweight Building Management System (BMS) for simple control and remote supervision of small and medium-sized buildings. The solution provides connectivity, a web console and automation tools to monitor equipment, collect data and execute control actions without requiring major onsite renovations.
Key benefits- Lower operational costs through automated control and remote troubleshooting.
- Regulatory compliance support for safety and building performance.
- Improved occupant health and safety via environmental monitoring (IAQ, occupancy).
User console — Main capabilities- Automation scenarios: create workflows to adjust schedules and setpoints based on real-time conditions.
- Scheduler: define occupancy calendars, rules and exceptions to automate actions.
- Remote alarms: notify technicians and prioritize maintenance based on alarm conditions.
- Dashboards: configurable dashboards with key indicators for portfolio monitoring.
- Graphics: built-in charts for trend analysis and operational decision-making.
- Remote configuration: update equipment settings remotely to reduce site visits.
- Logs: event and action logs for traceability and audits.
Functions and main features- Functions: Connectivity, console, automation.
- Main features: Automation scenarios, remote alarms, dashboards, schedules, graphics, remote configuration, logs.

Example deployments and usage- High school: integrate IAQ and occupancy sensors, convert LoRaWAN data to BACnet IP and command HVAC systems via the BMS.
- Post office: connect meters, sensors and controllers; trigger heating and other systems using automation scenarios based on schedules and temperature thresholds.
- Residential building: aggregate electricity, water and sensor data and forward to cloud services via SIM/API for centralised monitoring.
Operations & maintenance- Fast commissioning with a library of pre-decoded devices and a configuration wizard to reduce installation time.
- Intuitive interface for technicians and facility managers, accessible from desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Low-maintenance core solution with long-term support options and no mandatory recurring on-site maintenance for the platform itself.
Integrations & data access- Open API for data retrieval and integration with EMS, PLC, SCADA or AI systems.
- Centralised cloud storage to avoid on-site servers and enable multi-site remote supervision.
