In modern building automation projects, it is crucial to combine reliability, scalability and ease of integration. How can intelligent control be introduced into existing installations while maintaining full control over electrical circuits, user safety and the ability to monitor energy consumption? LoRaWAN is the natural choice in this context – it provides long-range communication, low cabling costs and flexibility in integration with building automation systems or IoT platforms.
In such scenarios, modules are needed that enable precise control and monitoring of circuits, are compact, safe and easy to integrate into existing installations. It is in this context that the MClimate 16A Dry Switch LoRaWAN becomes an indispensable tool for professionals responsible for designing and implementing smart systems in buildings.
MClimate is a company specialising in the creation of advanced solutions for smart buildings. For years, it has focused on developing IoT modules and devices that combine reliability, security and integration flexibility. MClimate products are distinguished by their high quality, compliance with European standards and continuous development of functionality, including support for remote firmware updates (FUOTA).
The MClimate philosophy is based on an open communication protocol that allows for seamless integration with various BMS systems and IoT platforms, eliminating the risk of dependence on a single supplier. As a result, MClimate devices are valued in projects where both security and scalability of building automation solutions are important.
The MClimate 16A Dry Switch LoRaWAN is a compact relay equipped with a dry contact that allows control of electrical circuits up to 16A at 240VAC or 10A at 30VDC. The device does not supply voltage to the circuit, acting as a potential-independent switch, which increases safety and versatility of integration with various systems.
Compact dimensions (32 × 36 × 18 mm) allow for installation in standard boxes or behind wall switches, facilitating implementation even in confined spaces.
The width of 18 mm corresponds to the standard DIN module, which allows for aesthetic and orderly installation in electrical cabinets. The housing is made of non-flammable UL-94 V0 rated plastic and complies with European safety standards, ensuring durability and resistance in demanding environments.
With user safety in mind, the device is equipped with a number of built-in safety features, including a temperature sensor that prevents overheating and robust, durable terminals that have been tested under long-term load conditions.
LoRaWAN technology provides reliable long-range communication with minimal power consumption. The MClimate 16A Dry Switch supports FUOTA (Firmware Upgrade Over The Air), which enables remote software updates without the need for physical access to the device.
The open communication protocol allows for easy integration with BMS systems, IoT platforms, and the MClimate Enterprise platform, which offers extensive tools for monitoring energy consumption and creating automation scenarios.
The MClimate 16A Dry Switch LoRaWAN can be used in a variety of building and industrial installations, enabling remote control of electrical devices.
One of its key applications is garage door automation, enabling remote opening, closing and scheduling.
Another equally important area of application is gas boiler control, which allows for effective management of building heating, optimisation of energy consumption and significant reduction of operating costs.
Thanks to its universal design, the MClimate 16A Dry Switch LoRaWAN can be successfully used in office buildings, hotels, residential buildings, student dormitories, historic buildings, as well as hospitals and social buildings. The device supports both new investments and modernisations of existing installations where safety, energy efficiency, and simplicity of implementation are important.
