Wireless Automation System

Boston — Invented by Riga Development, the WiSuite Environmental Management System uses Ember’s ZigBee wireless networking technology to automate and control the energy efficiency of every room. According to the company, WiSuite reduces wasteful electric and fuel consumption of HVAC systems, and since it’s wireless, can be retrofitted into existing buildings. The ZigBee-based WiSuite system automatically self-configures into a wireless mesh network of “WiStat” digital thermostats, appliances and receivers.
