When I was at the Controls Group North America meeting a couple of weeks ago Siemens introduced a cool product that they will be relaunching through distribution. The product is targeted at the light commercial buildings market.
The product looks good and seems to be priced right. We are looking forward to getting our hands on a demo unit and will keep the Controltrends Community posted.

They Call it “Easy” IO For a Reason
May 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Thanks to Mike and Lim, from Easy IO who stopped by to update us on their new Controller “the Beast from the East“. This takes their ddc controller offering to a whole new level. More on the Beast in upcoming posts.
For now, we would like to take a few minutes to show you how you can create and customize your own Sedona function blocks for the EasyIO controller using the Tridium Niagara platform. This Stromquist & Company tutorial will get you up and running in no time. With even just a basic understanding of programming, we’ll get you started with your own custom design.
Mike and Lim are making their way across the United States, like the rock stars they are, so be sure to contact your local automation controls distributor, to see if they are coming to a town near you! For more on Mike, Lim and EasyIO click the link.
