Hager: Electrical distribution, building automation and energy management equipment

Hager combines electrical distribution, energy monitoring and building automation with group businesses in storage and energy services.

Summary

Best for
Projects connecting low-voltage distribution with building-level energy visibility and room or load control.
Less suited to
Treating a KNX actuator, Modbus meter, storage product and managed energy service as interchangeable measurement devices.
Deployment
Equipment in distribution boards and rooms, with local monitoring or automation servers and optional specialist services.
Data in
agardio.manager collects connected Modbus meter/protection data; domovea works with KNX building functions.
Pricing
Specify the local product references and installation scope with a Hager distributor or project partner; no universal system price verified.

Overview

Hager supplies electrical-installation equipment for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. For energy projects, its range connects the electrical distribution board with measurement, building automation and wider energy-management services. These are related layers of a building system, with different responsibilities for protecting circuits, collecting readings and operating loads.

The group energy-management offering also includes E3/DC storage, Eficia building energy control and Advizeo energy-performance services. This gives Hager a broader position than a meter manufacturer alone. A project can involve local electrical hardware, a building-control system or specialist operational support, and the relevant product or service needs to be identified at that level.

Offering

agardio.manager is Hager's energy-monitoring server for up to 31 connected Modbus devices. It collects information from meters and electrical protection equipment and presents consumption through a web interface. The page describes third-party device integration through communication plug-ins, alongside the Hager measurement range.

domovea serves building automation. Hager identifies basic and expert servers, with differences in camera handling, sequencing and temperature-control functions. Hager Pilot is the installation and configuration interface, while the domovea application provides the user's building view. These products are useful for connecting lighting, heating and other KNX functions to a shared interface, rather than replacing the electrical measurements supplied by meters.

Technology

The KNX Secure range includes interfaces and routers for communication between computers and the KNX bus. Hager describes encrypted telegrams, KNX IP Secure and KNX Data Secure support, with the router also serving line or area coupling roles. Those capabilities belong to the named KNX equipment, not every device sold under the group brand.

The agardio monitoring path uses Modbus collection instead. An integrator should therefore distinguish the meter's protocol and register map from the KNX control path and server-level visualisation. Manufacturer protocol descriptions do not establish a tested Edge connection. The required device model, supported points and communication role still need to match the proposed integration.

Customers

Hager's project references span residential, commercial and hospitality buildings. The page identifies Old Mutual's South African headquarters, Villa Westling in Stockholm and the Transcorp Hilton hotel among the featured installations. These manufacturer-published references show different applications of the electrical-installation and building-automation portfolio, rather than one uniform energy-meter deployment.

The KNX system offering covers lighting, shutters, heating and other room functions. Such projects benefit from coordinated controls as well as energy visibility: a hotel room and an office building have different occupancy patterns and operating requirements. The reference collection is a useful route into the relevant installation type without assuming that every featured project used the same server or meter family.

Company

Hager's history records the founding of Hager oHG Elektrotechnische Fabrik in 1955 by Peter Hager and his sons. Its origins in meter panels and distribution boxes help explain the company's continued emphasis on electrical installations. The legal imprint identifies Hager SE and its registered office in Blieskastel, Germany.

The current company overview describes an international family-owned business. Its wider portfolio combines installation hardware with acquired and developed energy businesses, including the storage and operational services described on the energy-management page. This profile follows that group context while distinguishing named Hager products from E3/DC, Eficia and Advizeo offerings.
