A secure, server-less and modern lighting monitoring system that lets you see how all your connected sites are working. Accessible anywhere, anytime.
Control lighting via cloud
Control all lighting groups remotely using the cloud platform. Select scenes in real time or create easy-to-use online schedules. Digital lighting control, re-imagined.
Lighting Energy Monitoring
Detailed energy monitoring of the lighting system — Monitor and analyse energy usage to help achieve energy optimisation and sustainability goals.
Understand the Utilisation of your building
Occupancy Insights helps you optimise your space by analysing the utilisation of the building using existing PIR sensors and highlighting over or underutilised areas.
Prioritised alerts and auto Recommendations
Receive real-time alerts with recommended actions to help diagnose or resolve the issue.
Log histories for deeper analysis
A history of system events lets you dig into issues when needed.
Animated Occupancy Heat Maps
Animated heat maps to visualise how your staff and occupants use the building.
Easy Integration
Alerts from sites can be integrated into other systems and platforms through well documented APIs. Whatever your building management system (BMS) or FM software is, integration is possible. BMS lighting control and light monitoring made scalable.
See where the issues are
Instantly get a floorplan view of issues in the building, colour coded by severity level. You can see whether they are concentrated, and where the most critical ones are.
Save time and money on emergency lighting tests
DALI emergency reports save you time and money by completing emergency lighting tests with a click of a button.
Maximise use of existing sensors

Further benefits
Occupancy insights
Occupancy Insights can help you to optimise your building space by calculating the utilisation factor of your building, different space types and individual areas.
Data is presented in an easy-to-read dashboard and uses the sensors already in the Helvar lighting control system, meaning no need for additional IoT devices.
The intelligence of Occupancy Insights transforms movement sensor data into useable utilisation factor insights that will help you optimise your space to suit new ways of working.
Lighting Energy Monitoring
Helvar Insights monitors energy use from your Helvar lighting control system. The simple dashboard allows you to analyse lighting energy usage in the whole building and space types, such as, meeting rooms or in single spaces.
Energy monitoring brings awareness, highlights areas for improvement and allows you to confirm that energy-saving projects are achieving their goals by providing the data to back up the return on investment. It can also help with energy efficiency certification and ESG reporting.
Rock-solid security
Is it safe to connect your site? Absolutely.
From collection to storage, all your data is fully encrypted.
Helvar Insights uses AWS, built to satisfy the security requirements of military, banking and highly sensitive organisations.
Only authorised and authenticated users can gain entry.
While we provide the service, it’s your data. You own it.
