EnOS Edge Building Gateway provides the following capabilities:

  • Connect to EnOS system for centralized management and control in Building Management System (BMS).
  • Optimize the running mode between the building sub-system and devices using EnOS AI and machine learning for lower energy consumption and a more comfortable and safer environment.


For more information, see EnOS Edge Building Gateway Series.

EnOS Edge Sensor Gateway Series

This release introduces EnOS Edge Sensor Gateway (Envision Digital IoT hardware box), a cost-effective mid-lightweight IoT gateway product series of EnOS Edge. It can be applied to many industries, including elevator, wind turbine, solar power, battery storage, distributed PV and microgrid.


EnOS Edge Sensor Gateway is committed to creating an integrated IoT industry solution from the edge to the cloud, which includes:

  • Professional softwares
  • Flexible hardwares
  • Dedicated sensors
  • Industry-specific enclosures (Optional)


EnOS Edge Sensor Gateway provides the following capabilities：

  • Collect sensor data quickly
  • Process data with an industry-specific algorithm
  • Predict, analyze and optimize data: With cloud applications, you can perform machine learning on the edge and train device models in the cloud


For more information, see EnOS Edge Sensor Gateway Series.

Connectivity Service

This release introduces the following new feature and enhancements for Connectivity Service.

Device Access Template

You can now use the device access template to:

  • Automatically split the original point table
  • Automatically create templates
  • Automatically calculate the offset
  • Bulk configure templates using the dynamic template

File Connection

This release introduces File Connection:

  • Use general protocols to pull and push files
  • Push the files as model point files to the cloud

EnOS Edge Scan APP (Preview)

This release introduces EnOS Edge Scan app for Android or iOS. For a lightweight distributed Edge Logger device access scenario, you can scan the QR code of the Edge Logger device using this app. It simplifies the workflow for device connectivity and facilitates the configuration of gateway and sub-devices.

You can use the mobile app to:

  • Automatically register Edge Logger and create Edge-Cloud connections
  • Automatically register sub-devices by importing device assets
  • Automatically create communication connection and access template
  • Configure LAN, WIFI, and 4G mode
  • Debug data

EnOS Management Console introduces the following new features to manage the data connected from the app:

  • Project Management module enables Edge delivery engineers to bulk import project asset information
  • Public Template module enables device manufacturers or domain experts to pre-configure access templates and connection information for the specific device type

License Management

This release introduces Edge License to better manage the process of applying and approving EnOS Edge service. Edge License enables you to activate the subscribed EnOS Edge service on an Edge device.

BTL Certification

In this release, EnOS Edge Gateway and EnOS Edge Extensive have been independently tested and have passed industry standard BACnet testing. For more information, see BTL Certification Program.

Edge Cascading

Edge Cascading now supports configuring more than 2 Edge cascading layers using different configuration tools. For more information, see Edge Cascading.

Edge Computing

Edge Computing now supports:

  • Optimize the architecture of stream computing and the single node or single pipeline computing capability. See Stream Computing.
  • Customize operators. See Supported StreamSets Operators.
  • Enrich the operator library to meet the needs of calculating and controlling data in the building scenario. See Rule Engine.

Alert Management

Alert Management now supports:

  • Configure alert rules for different models and points.
  • Use expressions to specify the alert trigger conditions.


For more information, see Alert Management.

Quality Rules

This release introduces Quality Rules. You can create a quality rule and define specific validation checks based on:

  • Timestamps threshold
  • Points refresh interval
  • Over-limit threshold

Data Gap Backfill

Data Gap Backfill is now available for the following connections:

  • EnOS Edge - EnOS Edge
  • SCADA - EnOS Edge
  • Third-party SCADA - EnOS Edge
  • EnOS Edge - EnOS Cloud
  • EnOS Edge - Third-party SCADA


For example, if the connection between EnOS Edge and EnOS Cloud is interrupted, EnOS Edge can still collect data from sub-devices and save it to the local cache. The data cached locally will be transmitted again once the network connection is restored. For more information, see Data Gap Backfill.

Time Series Data Management (TSDB)

TSDB now supports:

  • Storage Policy: It provides efficient and stable storage management for time series data ingested from devices or historical data integrated from the offline message channel.
  • Data Insight: It generates data charts based on time range and device measurement points can be generated for the time series data stored in TSDB to improve the efficiency of data analysis.


For more information, see Time Series Data Management.

Data Subscription

Data subscription now supports visualized configuration. For more information, see Data Subscription.

Data Security

This release enhances security for data storage, transfer, and usage. For more information, see Edge Security.

Edge Container Platform

Edge Container Platform now supports deploying or updating containers by versions to improve efficiency and reduce Operation and Maintenance risks. For more information, see Container Platform.

Local Operation & Maintenance Tool

This release introduces the Local Operation & Maintenance Tool (Local O&M Tool). The tool empowers Edge delivery engineers to:

  • Query or download logs.
  • Upgrade product versions through a visualized interface.
  • Edit configuration.
  • Monitor indicator data.
  • Restart or shut down the Edge node.
