AutomatedBuildings.com is pleased to welcome Solidyne as our newest sponsor. Solidyne designs and manufactures DDC controllers, thermostats, and front-end integration hardware for the HVACR, industrial, energy, and OEM markets, built on native BACnet communication and Niagara compatibility across the entire line.
If you’ve ever needed a controller that speaks BACnet/MSTP without a gateway in the middle, Solidyne’s approach is worth knowing.
Who is Solidyne?
Solidyne Control International, Inc. has built building automation and energy management hardware since 1969, and 35 years of that experience shapes its current lineup. The focus: comfort, energy savings, and value for both end users and integrators, built to solve custom OEM problems across diverse markets. Westco is Solidyne’s master distributor and has a dedicated support office in Denver.
The Product Lineup
The SAM family of DDC controllers, unitary and VAV, combines BACnet/IP with WiFi communication and an open, free programming tool. The M2 is a fully programmable unitary controller for RTUs, heat pumps, FCUs, AHUs, and central-plant applications, with HOA switches on every relay output for fast field commissioning; the M2V is its VAV counterpart, with a built-in flow sensor and up to 4 actuators. Both speak native BACnet/MSTP, integrating directly into Niagara or any BACnet front end.
Rounding out the lineup: the PNT-1, an all-in-one networkable thermostat controller; the SIMON-1, a LoRa wireless wall sensor and receiver for spaces where new wiring isn’t practical; and the JACE, a browser-based front end that unifies dissimilar building systems into one interface, 100% Niagara compatible with drivers for Sedona, BACnet/MSTP, and legacy products.
Why This Matters for Building Automation
Native BACnet/MSTP at the controller level removes the gateway tax that slows commissioning on mixed-vendor jobs, and Niagara compatibility across the whole hardware line, not just the front end, means integrators aren’t stitching together drivers system by system.
A Fitting Addition to This Community
AutomatedBuildings.com has spent decades covering the controls layer of this industry, so a sponsor whose hardware is BACnet-native and Niagara-first from the ground up is a natural fit. We are glad to have Solidyne join us, and we encourage you to explore their platform directly.
