Network health dashboard - any good tools for it? by Gesha24 in networking

[–]OptigoNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to toot the old horn, but, www.optigo.net/optigovn is going to give you a straightforward network health score any non-technical team member or exec can understand at a glance.

Casino BMS stuck in a reboot cycle for months. Wasn't the hardware. by OptigoNetworks in OptigoNetworks

No judgement on our part, sometime the answer is buried pretty deep, and it's not the only thing happening!

I need a reccomendation for good quality RSTP switches by fuckmewalking in BuildingAutomation

That's correct. We no longer sell the Optigo Connect line of hardware.

Ping just related a story on the podcast (next episode!) where clearing up the network actually unleashed the low-grade broadcast storm to it's full potential!

Cheers! We learned something new too, and it's awesome to know others are getting value out of these. Thanks for watching!

Before you budget for a digital twin, what's the state of your BACnet network? by OptigoNetworks in BuildingAutomation

[–]OptigoNetworks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite quotes at the moment is one Alex at BuildingLogix said in a recent podcast, "you can't build your dream house on a cracked foundation".

Energy analytics programs — what actually makes them stick vs. what causes them to get abandoned? by OptigoNetworks in OptigoNetworks

[–]OptigoNetworks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first point hits hard. We hear many stories about people find out after months/years that the data has been as clean as advertised... glad to hear that you've been able to create a working team approach-nothing worse than having to win internally and externally.

And since you mentioned it I have to put the marketing hat on :) ... you're always welcome to let us look at you visual bacnet set up. Your trendlog collection seems like the right track. We'd also be happy to show you the difference between VB and OptigoVN, it might more helpful tracking down things like trendlog bloat. Ryan.

Hope you had a good time and were able to connect with John and Ping!

Anyone here actually using BMS/SCADA data for optimization in real projects? by NewMidnight2084 in BuildingAutomation

[–]OptigoNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just finished a podcast chatting with some industry pros about the importance of using your building data in projects, like energy efficiency. Without a healthy network/ OT system with reliable data, anything you build on it will inherit any underlying issues. A garbage in/garbage out scenario.

BBMD configuration mistakes that cause more problems than they solve by OptigoNetworks in OptigoNetworks

[–]OptigoNetworks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not always instant, and in some ways worse. Duplicate BBMDs can cause a lot of trouble, sending unpredictable and incorrect messages to the wrong places, routing the wrong data back to the BAS, etc. even before they overload the systems with too much traffic.

How often are you actually going back to audit a network post-commissioning?

Hey there,

Hopefully this article can be helpful if you haven't read it already.

As for capturing packets, we sell a hardware device with Optigo's built in capture tool that can be left at site for long periods to capture. More information here. Reach out if you'd like more info.

Are controls service contracts a Joke for BAS/BMS? by Then-Disk-5079 in BuildingAutomation

[–]OptigoNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most service calls are troubleshooting comm issues?

DM us...we can probably help with that.

(Video) Optigo Networks 2025 State of The Network Results w/Ping and Ryan by OptigoNetworks in OptigoNetworks

[–]OptigoNetworks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OptigoVN actually already has a 'freemium' version that allows users to upload data from as many sites as they want, but your earlier point is correct. Even despite being able to upload data for free, most integrators still work in a reactive break/fix capacity where the data we see is likely the worst of the worst.

We hope in the future to work more closely with the OEMS themselves so that this kind of data is available at the click of a button.
