From manufacturing plants and corporate headquarters to hotels, hospitals and malls — we integrate HVAC, lighting, energy, fire and access systems into a single operator-friendly dashboard. Modern IoT platforms, not legacy BMS lock-in.
Nigerian facility operators face three pressures simultaneously: rising energy costs, unreliable grid supply, and growing occupant expectations for comfort and safety. Building Management Systems promise to address all three — but only when they're designed, installed and commissioned for the realities of Nigerian operation.
Light Automations takes a different approach to BMS. Rather than locking clients into ₦200M+ traditional BMS contracts (Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens Desigo), we deploy on modern open platforms: Loxone for reliable wired control, Home Assistant for multi-protocol device orchestration, and Node-RED for custom logic and integration. For access control and perimeter security, we're authorised partners for Centurion Systems — Africa's leading gate automation and access control manufacturer.
The result: smart buildings that deliver the same HVAC, lighting, energy, fire, access and vehicle management — at a fraction of the traditional BMS cost, with full vendor flexibility and no proprietary lock-in. Our recent work includes a full BMS deployment for a major FMCG manufacturer's Lagos facility, covering lighting, energy monitoring, fire alarm integration, and complete access control systems.
The realities that shape every BMS decision on real Nigerian sites.
Diesel and grid costs consume a growing share of facility OPEX. Sub-metering, load management and automated scheduling pay back quickly — if the system reports data you can act on.
Grid instability breaks imported BMS equipment designed for clean European conditions. Our deployments are specified for Nigerian surge, sag and harmonic realities.
Most facilities run mixed equipment: chillers from one brand, AHUs from another, existing fire panels, separate access control. We integrate across them using BACnet, Modbus and open APIs.
Legacy BMS platforms make economic sense only for mega-facilities. Our IoT-native approach delivers the same functionality at a fraction of the cost — making smart building control viable for mid-market operators.
If the facility team can't run the system without the integrator, the system fails. Every deployment includes structured training, clear dashboards, and well-documented operational procedures.
BMS must integrate — never replace — certified fire alarm and life safety systems. We engineer the integration points correctly, preserving code compliance.
End-to-end smart building capability — designed, installed, commissioned, and supported.
Chiller sequencing, AHU control, VAV/FCU zone management, and optimised start/stop scheduling. Demand-based ventilation control where CO&sub2; sensing is deployed.
Scheduled and occupancy-triggered lighting control across offices, production areas, warehouses and common spaces. Dimming, colour tuning, and emergency lighting supervision.
Sub-metering at panel, feeder and circuit level. Real-time dashboards, tariff-aware reporting, and anomaly alerts. Integration with generator controllers and power quality meters.
Complete physical access control as an authorised Centurion Systems partner: sliding, swing and boom gate automation, intercom and visitor management, vehicle access with ANPR and loop detectors, plus card and biometric readers. Integrated with BMS and fire systems for unified event management.
Integration with certified fire alarm panels — cross-system event triggers, unified event log, and integrated alarm escalation while preserving the independence and compliance of safety-certified subsystems.
We deploy on modern IoT-native platforms — giving clients control, flexibility, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Light Automations delivers industrial control and automation across multiple priority sectors in Nigeria.
