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 and custom development.
Harmony Analytica · rooftop deployment
Urban green infrastructure
Know before you go.
Sixty seconds from a Manhattan rooftop deployment: wireless sensors placed in planters and green roofs, joined to one network, and reporting to the dashboard before the crew leaves the roof.
- Sensor arrays across large-scale urban landscapes
- One LoRaWAN network spanning buildings and blocks
- Crews sent with the data in hand, not to find out
Harmony Analytica · irrigation pressure monitoring
Wireless pressure monitoring
Pressure on every backflow, without wires.
A LoRaWAN pressure transducer installed on a backflow preventer. It threads onto the existing test port, pairs with the network in seconds, and reports irrigation pressure so a stuck valve, a break or a closed source shows up in the data before it shows up on the property.
- Battery powered, no conduit or power at the backflow
- Pressure trends, low and high alerts on the dashboard
- Same network as the valves, meters and soil sensors
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.
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.
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.
In the field
Recent field work.
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.
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.
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
Behind the scenes
How we make the BLADE soil moisture sensor.
Every BLADE is programmed, printed, glued, potted and labeled by hand on our bench in batches of ten. Andy walks through the whole process: the three LoRaWAN keys, the 3D-printed ASA housing, the epoxy, and the fifty sensors that taught him the hard way.
- Unique keys programmed in about five seconds a board
- UV-resistant ASA housing printed in house
- Fully potted in epoxy, waterproof like a decoder
- About one hour of hands-on time per sensor
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.
