From remote building monitoring and energy management to POTS replacements, these new solutions will help keep your facility on the cutting edge.

Square D Control Relays, Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric’s new Square D Control Relays and the Schneider Energy Monitor add smart panel functionality to standard home electrical systems. The modular, flexible solution offers homeowners app-based control with easier installation and at a lower cost than current smart panel options, according to the company. The Square D Control Relays are designed to snap directly onto the Square D QO Plug-on Neutral breakers, while the Schneider Energy Monitor can be added directly into the panel at the same time. se.com/us/en/

Ooma AirDial, Ooma

The Ooma AirDial is an innovative solution that addresses the looming retirement of legacy copper-wire analog phone service (also known as “plain old telephone service,” or POTS) that affect critical equipment and systems—such as fire alarm panels, elevator, other public safety phones—that can’t be migrated to Voice Over Internet (VOIP) service. The AirDial is a complete replacement solution for POTS that combines data- and voice-connection and cloud-based management for remote access across multiple locations. ooma.com
