Remoticom

What Remoticom does

Remoticom is a privately held Dutch company headquartered in Tilburg that designs and produces smart IoT sensors and controllers, primarily for the outdoor and indoor lighting markets, with a secondary extension into utility-meter monitoring. Its core offering is the EnergyNode family of products (Standard, Retro, Prestige, Mini, Relay) and the CloudGate Zhaga Smart Controllers (ZSC150 and ZSC160), which attach to luminaires via the Zhaga Book 18 standard and provide NB-IoT or LoRaWAN-connected remote control, dimming, tilt detection, astronomical scheduling, and emergency-mode operation. The portfolio is complemented by the Utility Meter HE, a LoRaWAN-certified Hall-effect retrofit for digitizing analog utility meters, and by sub-brands such as EnergyNode Motion, Link, and Starter that target indoor and entry-level use cases.

Underlying communication is built on DALI, DALI-2, and D4i lighting protocols for device-side control and on MQTT and the proprietary OAB protocol (based on the IPSO standard) for data exchange, with open APIs enabling integration into third-party management systems. Hardware differentiation centers on Zhaga Book 18 compatibility (claimed to fit roughly 90% of the world's lamp posts), tilt-based mast-health monitoring, invisible-installation form factors for nostalgic and decorative luminaires, animal-friendly amber lighting, and a sensor-only purchase option that does not require a data subscription.

Remoticom generates revenue through three streams: direct hardware sales of its smart lighting and IoT products, custom IoT solution development and production including consultancy and proof-of-concept work for national and international customers, and OEM-branded product development and manufacturing on behalf of other lighting vendors. It sells primarily through a direct, sales-led engagement model supported by demonstration sessions and invitations to join customers' internal project groups, and it is building distribution through strategic channel partners such as Oostendorp in the sports-field lighting segment. End customers include municipalities and public authorities, sports clubs and facilities, decorative lighting fixture manufacturers, building operators, and utility companies.

Core offering

Remoticom designs, develops, and produces IoT-enabled smart sensors and smart lighting controllers (including the EnergyNode family and Zhaga Smart Controllers) for outdoor and indoor public lighting applications. The company provides both standard hardware products and bespoke IoT solution development, including OEM-branded manufacturing, for national and international customers.

Product overview

Remoticom offers a portfolio of smart IoT-enabled lighting controllers and sensors for both outdoor and indoor applications. The outdoor lighting portfolio centers on the EnergyNode family (Standard, Retro, Prestige) and Zhaga Smart Controller series (150, 160), which provide remote control, monitoring, and dimming capabilities for public and sports field lighting via NB-IoT or LoRaWAN connectivity. The EnergyNode Relay (DYNA100) enables switching control for lighting systems. For indoor environments, the EnergyNode Mini provides motion-activated lighting control. The Utility Meter HE extends the portfolio to utility meter monitoring. Products communicate via DALI/D4i protocols for lighting control and use MQTT for data exchange, with open APIs enabling integration into existing management systems. Solutions emphasize sustainability through energy-saving dimming profiles, tilt detection for mast monitoring, and emergency lighting functions.
