Kaa can also be used as a master IoT platform for smart building solutions, smart home energy solutions, smart lighting systems, connected heating and air conditioning systems, and IoT smart meters implementation. These solutions are fairly easy to build, manage, and expand with Kaa.

Smart energy solutions powered by IoT are already saving companies billions of dollars annually. With Kaa, you will be ready for a full-on transition to future-proof and efficient energy operations.

Smart meters are essential to efficient energy consumption and a key part of smart grid infrastructures. Smart meters help consumers stay fully informed about their daily energy use and eliminate wasteful routines or get rid of inefficient appliances. For utility companies, real-time visibility into energy consumption means accurate billing data and the ability to balance demand against supply via flexible pricing and other policies. With the Kaa IoT Platform, smart meters can be easily implemented to support these and many other smart grid features.
