What it is
KMC Commander is a cloud-based IoT platform for monitoring and controlling buildings through existing systems. An on-premises gateway gathers data from meters, sensors, devices, and systems and sends it to the cloud. Users can track trends, trigger equipment remotely, and view multiple locations or an entire portfolio on one dashboard. Listed tools include energy monitoring, CO2e calculations, custom dashboards, system schedules, and text and email alarms. The platform supports unlimited users with configurable permissions and harmonizes more than 130 equipment brands, including Carrier, Honeywell, Siemens, Trane, Lennox, Belimo, and Schneider Electric. KMC describes Commander as open API-based with a fully supported API. Its interface is responsive and mobile-first, while data history and trends are stored long term with unlimited data. Security descriptions include encrypted communication, a secure gateway and operating system, outbound-only communication on common ports, and user permissions. Point licensing covers 100–10,000 points, includes one year of cloud storage and updates, and renews annually. Pricing is on request.
