IoT consulting · LoRaWAN specialists
Expert IoT consulting for connected infrastructure.
Harmony Analytica designs, deploys and integrates LoRaWAN and IoT systems for water, energy, oil and gas, landscape, agriculture and industrial operations, and builds the custom hardware and software when nothing off the shelf fits.
Network design · Deployment · Integration · Custom development
Independent expertise
The whole stack, or just the missing piece.
Complete IoT systems from concept to production, or the single component that plugs into what you already run.
Vendor-neutral recommendations
No commissions from hardware or platform vendors. Sensors, gateways and network servers are chosen against your requirements, so you buy the right thing once.
Work with what you have, or build new
Already have infrastructure? We optimize and extend it. Starting from scratch? We design it to fit your operation, not a vendor’s roadmap.
Strategy, build, or both
Some clients need an architecture review. Others need a full system designed, deployed and integrated. One accountable team either way.
Services
What we do.
Six ways we help teams go from idea to a network that works in the field.
LoRaWAN Network Design
RF planning, gateway placement, coverage modeling and network-server architecture for private, public or hybrid LoRaWAN.
Deployment & Commissioning
Pilots, field installation, gateway and sensor commissioning, and rollouts across one site or hundreds.
System Integration
Connect legacy equipment, controllers, SCADA, BMS and business software over Modbus, RS-485, MQTT, REST and webhooks.
Custom Hardware & Software
Custom devices, firmware, payload decoders, backends and dashboards when nothing off the shelf fits.
Architecture Review & Advisory
Independent architecture reviews, vendor and device selection, second opinions and team training.
Managed Support & Operations
Network and device monitoring, maintenance, firmware updates and on-call support after go-live.
Industries
Built for the field, across industries.
The same engineering discipline applied to very different operations.
Landscape & Irrigation
Golf, sports complexes, municipal parks, campuses, green roofs, living walls and agriculture, powered by MODURA.
Golf Courses
Turf health, playability and disease control from sensors in every green, on a course-wide network that also carries carts, pins and pump stations.
Water & Utilities
Smart metering, leak detection, pressure monitoring, stormwater and remote assets for utilities and districts.
Oil & Gas
Tank levels, pressure, flow and equipment monitoring for remote well sites, pipelines and facilities.
Solar & Energy
Energy sub-metering, solar and storage site monitoring, and environmental sensing for energy assets.
Buildings & Facilities
Building water analytics, leak detection, energy sub-metering and environmental monitoring for facility teams.
Agriculture
Soil moisture, weather, tank and pump monitoring across large properties with little connectivity.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Legacy equipment integration, scales, meters and condition monitoring for plants and industrial sites.
Your industry
Don’t see your sector? If it needs remote sensing, integration or custom IoT, we should talk.
Case study
An Avery Weigh‑Tronix ZM303, connected to the cloud.
A research client relied on rugged ZM303 weight indicators that could only be read on a local computer. We built a custom integration that reads the indicator over Modbus/TCP and pushes real-time data to any cloud platform, without replacing working hardware.
Results
- Manual logging eliminated
- Readings on an interval or on demand
- JSON over REST, webhooks or MQTT
- Rugged, lockable field enclosure
In the field
Real deployments, real conditions.
Rooftops, sports fields, mechanical rooms and remote sites. We design for the environment the hardware actually lives in.
Green roof monitoring
Moisture, weather and irrigation data from rooftop landscapes.
Subsurface turf sensors
Soil moisture sensors installed below sports turf.
Building water metering
Meter and pressure retrofits on existing plumbing.
Living wall monitoring
Micro-climate sensing for indoor green infrastructure.
Avoid expensive mistakes
IoT projects rarely fail in the lab.
Most budget overruns trace back to a handful of early decisions. Expert guidance up front costs a fraction of doing it twice.
Gateways in the wrong place
Re-climbing towers and re-running backhaul after rollout costs far more than a proper survey and design up front.
Devices that don’t match the datasheet
We field-test hardware on your site before you commit to a fleet, so you do not replace it later.
Trapped by a platform
Prices rise and features disappear. The right architecture keeps your data and your options in your hands.
How to engage
Start small. Scale with confidence.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee phase, so you know the cost before work begins. Most projects start at $10,000.
Discovery & Architecture
Site assessment, requirements and a written architecture with budget estimates. Fixed fee.
Pilot / Proof of Concept
Real devices on a representative site with real data, to prove performance before scaling. Fixed scope.
Deployment & Build
Network rollout, integrations and custom development delivered in defined phases.
Advisory & Support Retainer
Ongoing architecture guidance, monitoring and support for your team.
Process
From first call to production.
-
1
Discovery call
A 30-minute conversation about the problem, the sites and the systems already in place.
-
2
Assessment
Site and system review, requirements and a written recommendation.
-
3
Pilot
Prove the approach on a real site before committing to scale.
-
4
Scale & support
Staged rollout, integration, training and ongoing support.
Led by practitioners
From field experience, not theory.
Harmony Analytica is led by Andy Humphrey, aka Sprinkler Nerd, with a team of advisors across energy, software, agriculture, contracting and connected infrastructure.
- 25+ years across irrigation, distribution, technology, training and field service
- Large-scale deployments and connected water infrastructure in real operating environments
- Creator of MODURA, the intelligence platform for living infrastructure
- Host of Sprinkler Nerd, reaching 40,000+ industry listeners
Our platform
MODURA: intelligence for living infrastructure.
For landscape, irrigation and green infrastructure clients, we pair consulting with MODURA, the platform we built to connect controllers, sensors, landscapes and service teams in one system.
What size projects do you take on?
Most engagements start at $10,000, from fixed-fee assessments and pilots to multi-site deployments and custom development.
Are you tied to a particular vendor or network?
No. We are vendor-neutral and work with private, public and hybrid LoRaWAN, including ChirpStack, The Things Network, Actility and Helium.
Do you only work with LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN is our specialty, but we also integrate cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Modbus and serial systems where they are the better fit.
Where do you work?
We work remotely worldwide and on site across North America, coordinating vetted local installers where needed.
