Building Robotics extends its IoT office solution Comfy to manage third-party services
Summary
Intelligent software provider for commercial offices Building Robotics is extending the functionality of its workplace Internet of Things offering, Comfy. Starting today, third-party services like CommScope, Intel, Lutron, and View can be integrated into a new version, +Comfy, that allows workers to adjust the temperature, lighting, windows, and more through Comfy’s app or a web interface. “+Comfy lets people easily adjust their environment to their personal preferences,” said Building Robotics cofounder and chief executive Andrew Krioukov in a statement. “We’re excited to offer more ways for people to customize comfort in the workplace.” Comfy uses a machine-learning algorithm to analyze a worker’s usage patterns in order to help reduce energy use and lower costs. Lutron will provide access to remote-control blinds and shades, while View will let workers adjust the transparency of its dynamic glass.
