Innon supplies building automation products, integration software and technical support, including its Link I/O and display range.

Summary

Best for
BMS engineers sourcing supported controls, interfaces and Niagara-related integration tools.
Less suited to
Users seeking a hosted energy analytics platform rather than controls products and engineering support.
Deployment
Building controls hardware and software integrated into site automation systems.
Data in
Link family options include BACnet and Modbus over IP or RS485, depending on configuration.
Pricing
Products are sold through the company store; project-specific support and training have separate scope.

Overview

Innon supplies building automation products and engineering support, with a particular focus on integrating equipment around the Niagara Framework. Its founder's account describes the business arising from the practical difficulty of connecting hotel systems, room controls and third-party devices into a coherent BMS installation. The company now combines sourced products with its own integration work and the Link range. It serves BMS engineers and automation companies rather than offering only a hosted energy dashboard. The current company description emphasises product knowledge, support and training as part of the relationship with the engineers delivering building projects.

Offering

Link IO is the main I/O unit in Innon's Link range. It has 20 onboard I/O points and can be expanded to 180. The range includes BACnet or Modbus choices with IP or RS485 connections, so protocol and physical interface are configuration decisions. A built-in display supports commissioning and maintenance without a separate external tool for every local task. Innon states that CAREL manufactures the hardware, while Innon contributes development and integration expertise. The published range also includes Niagara 4 integration and specific Trend BACnet strategy blocks, rather than presenting the product as an unrelated generic I/O module.

Technology

The Link IO Display is an optional remote display that allows readings to be viewed without opening the controls cabinet. The same range includes Link Touch in 10-inch and 15-inch sizes, with an onboard configuration application. These products address different physical interactions with a building system: the main module connects field inputs and outputs, the remote display exposes I/O information, and the touch panel gives a larger user interface. Innon's published product range keeps those roles separate. Its web configurator supports specifying the expanded I/O arrangement, while the company support team assists with setup and product issues.

Markets

The Link IO launch description explains the collaboration between Innon's software and integration work and CAREL's controls hardware. The company's origin story centres on Niagara integration across I/O, fan-coil controls, room displays and hotel systems. That background informs a supplier model in which product choice is accompanied by technical support and training. The company's contribution is therefore not simply reselling individual components: it documents how supported products fit into a wider automation system and assists engineers working across manufacturers. The Link range is one concrete product family within that broader BMS integration business.

Company

Innon's own company statement dates the business to 2012. Its origin story begins with co-founder Radu's 2009 experience as a London BMS engineer; that earlier project date is distinct from the stated business founding. The current contact page identifies Innon Energy Ltd, company number 06740177, and gives its registered address in Epsom, Surrey. The About page describes the founders' emphasis on support for engineers and flexibility in how the company operates. Its public offering continues to combine building products, integration knowledge and training. Its official company profile identifies Epsom, England, United Kingdom as headquarters.
