Pressac partners with UMA to create intelligent workplaces
Enabling organisations to monitor real-time workspace occupancy and environmental conditions, improving user experiences and helping reduce operational costs and carbon footprint.
Smart-building sensor manufacturer Pressac Communication has entered a partnership with workplace intelligence software provider UMA, to provide integrated technology which transforms workplaces into super-intelligent, highly responsive spaces.
The combination of Pressac’s smart sensors with UMA’s leading-edge software allows businesses to monitor real-time workspace utilisation and capture environmental insights to create a more efficient, safer and sustainable working environment.
Pressac’s smart sensors use advanced wireless technology, which allows them to be kept separate from an organisation’s IT network. This makes them easy to install and integrate real-time data straight into UMA’s software. Their ultra-low power consumption means they need minimal maintenance, with batteries typically lasting over five years.
UMA is able to ingest sensor data from any Pressac IoT device provided that your gateway is sending the sensor payloads to UMA's MQTT server.

UMA supports the following Pressac sensors out of the box:

This guide assumes you’ve already connected your gateway to either an Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LTE network.
If you haven't, follow the manufacturers set up guide below:
Log in to the gateway via a web interface and navigate to connections and MQTT and enter in the following details:
Default Client ID: {gateway name}
Root Topic: umavision
Device Identifier: Device ID
Included Data: Tick All
MQTT Connection Name: UMA Vision
Client ID: Use Default

To add a Pressac IoT sensor to UMA, you will need the Device ID which can be obtained either locally on the sensor or from the Pressac gateway. Use the Device ID as the UMA ID.
When adding a Pressac device in UMA, click on add device and then use the UMA card to find the device you want to add.
After some minutes, the device will come online and you will start recording the data coming from the sensor.
Optionally, you can allow any Pressac occupancy sensor to auto book or cancel a meeting booking by configuring the device settings.
Repeaters are used to boost the signal to allow sensors to connect to the gateway without adding an additional gateway.
