In their own words
LOYTEC LWEB-900
LOYTEC LWEB-900 is building management software for installing, configuring, and operating LOYTEC building automation systems. Its client-server architecture stores system and historic data, access rights, and device configurations in an SQL database. Built-in configuration tools let users create graphical building views with live values, alarms, trend logs, and schedules. Alarms from different sources can be brought together, with email notifications and configurable follow-up actions; schedules can be organized across devices. The software exchanges data with LOYTEC devices across CEA-709, BACnet, DALI, M-Bus, Modbus, and KNX. It can display live images from ONVIF-compatible cameras and map camera events and commands to data points, but it does not record video. The server supports custom Node.js scripts and includes Node-RED. LWEB-900 is deployed on-premise, with Windows, web, Android, and iOS access. Its standard license includes five concurrent LWEB-900 clients and 20 LWEB-802/803/app clients. Pricing is available on request.
Tridium Niagara Framework
Tridium Niagara Framework is software infrastructure connecting devices and operational data with people and systems managing workflows in buildings, data centers, industrial processes, and smart cities. Built-in tools cover control logic, data management, user presentation, histories, schedules, and alarms, including HVAC, lighting, environmental monitoring, and access integration. Niagara Supervisor provides browser access to alarms, logs, graphics, schedules, and configuration data. It includes multiple open-protocol IP drivers; other drivers may be purchased separately. Security features include hashed passwords, TLS communications, certificate-based authentication, and a Security Dashboard. Niagara Cloud Suite adds remote access, station-data recovery, and API access to semantically enriched data stored with Microsoft Azure. It requires a supported framework version and an active Software Maintenance Agreement. Initial Supervisor licensing also requires an SMA, which is needed for the latest Niagara version. Tridium reports more than one million instances across hundreds of thousands of projects. Pricing is on request.
