What it is

KMC Commander is a hybrid cloud IoT platform for monitoring and controlling buildings through existing systems. An on-premises gateway gathers data from meters, sensors, devices, and systems, then sends it to the cloud for remote tracking, trend analysis, and control. A dashboard can cover multiple locations and an entire property portfolio. Listed functions include energy monitoring, CO2e calculation, custom dashboards, schedules, and text and email alarms. KMC says Commander harmonizes more than 130 equipment brands and provides an open, fully supported API. It lists unlimited users and customizable permissions. The interface is described as responsive and mobile-first, while trend and history storage is long term with unlimited data. Security details include outbound-only communication on common ports, a secure gateway and operating system, encrypted communications, and user permissions. Point licensing covers 100–10,000 points; each device data point used for alarms, schedules, trends, or control logic consumes one point. Annual renewal follows the included first year of cloud storage, software, and security updates.
