BluNODE

Modular Monitoring Hardware for Every Zone, System, and Sensor Type

BluNODE is BluSENSE's modular data logger — purpose-built to connect sensors to your monitoring network with precision and flexibility. Deploy it as a standalone logger or pair it with BluCORE to extend your monitoring reach across zones, floors, and building systems. Multiple configurations available to match your exact sensing requirements.

Inputs Temp · Pulse · Modbus · CT
Connectivity Wireless · Modbus RS-485
Models Base · CL · MF Coming Soon

One Device. Every System.

Building monitoring rarely fits a single template. Different zones demand different sensors. Different applications demand different inputs. BluNODE is designed for that reality — a compact, capable logger that handles temperature, pulse, Modbus, and current transformer inputs out of the box, with expansion options for 4-20mA analog signals when your application calls for them.

Whether you're monitoring a single mechanical room or extending a BluCORE network across an entire facility, BluNODE delivers consistent, reliable data from every point in your building.

HVAC and Air System Monitoring

Track airflow, temperature differentials, and system performance across air handling units, VAV boxes, and duct systems — at the zone level, not just the equipment level.

Hot Water and Plumbing Systems

Monitor supply and return temperatures, flow rates, and pressure across domestic hot water and hydronic systems — with granular data at the point of use.

Submetering and Resource Allocation

Connect to pulse meters for water, gas, and electricity submetering at the tenant, floor, or end-use level — extending your monitoring reach without replacing existing meters.

Electrical System Monitoring

Use CT inputs to monitor current draw across circuits, panels, and equipment — identifying demand peaks, load imbalances, and energy waste at the circuit level.

Distributed Facility Monitoring

Deploy multiple BluNODE units across a large building or campus, networked through BluCORE for centralized data aggregation, analysis, and reporting.

How BluNODE Works with the BluSENSE Ecosystem

  • Standalone Operation

    Deploy BluNODE as a self-contained data logger for localized monitoring — ideal for single systems or zones where a full BluCORE deployment isn't required.

  • Networked with BluCORE

    Pair one or more BluNODE units with a BluCORE hub to extend monitoring reach across your facility. BluCORE handles centralized data processing, multi-protocol communications, and automated reporting — BluNODE handles the sensing.

  • With BluPULSE

    Combine BluNODE with BluPULSE nodes to capture pulse meter data from existing utility meters alongside direct sensor inputs — integrating legacy infrastructure without replacing hardware.
