The service
What is FacilityBot IoT Supply and Installation?
FacilityBot IoT Supply and Installation is a service in which FacilityBot sells, installs and commissions the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors a building needs, then connects them to its facilities management software. Sensors measure conditions such as washroom odour, cubicle occupancy, CO2 levels and desk usage. FacilityBot turns those readings into automatic work orders, dashboards and utilisation reports.
Most sensor projects stall in the gap between hardware and operations. A sensor that sends readings nowhere useful, or floods a team with raw alerts, changes nothing on the ground. Buying sensors through FacilityBot closes that gap: every device is selected to work with the platform's IoT sensors integration, and the same team that installs it configures what happens when a reading crosses a threshold.
The sensors in the FacilityBot IoT store use LoRaWAN, a long-range, low-power wireless standard. Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors can be mounted without new cabling, and one gateway typically covers several floors of a building.
How does a sensor reading become a work order?
- SenseA sensor records a condition, such as rising ammonia in a washroom or high CO2 in a meeting room.
- TransmitThe reading travels over LoRaWAN to an on-site gateway, which forwards it to FacilityBot.
- EvaluateFacilityBot checks the reading against the trigger threshold set for that sensor and location.
- DispatchA request ticket is created and assigned to the right cleaner, technician or contractor, who is notified on the FacilityBot Mobile App.
- Close and reportThe job is closed with time stamps and notes, feeding response-time and alert-frequency reports for each site.
Why buy through FacilityBot
Why procure IoT sensors through your FM software provider?
Sensors are only as useful as the action they trigger. Buying them from the team that runs your work orders removes the integration work, the finger-pointing and the guesswork.
Installed and commissioned for you
FacilityBot surveys the site, places gateways for coverage, mounts the sensors and registers each one against the right building, floor and room before handover.
Alerts that become work orders
Trigger thresholds create request tickets automatically and route them by site, floor or cleaning zone. An ammonia sensor can assign a cleaner with no human intervention.
About IoT sensors integrationOne accountable partner
Hardware, connectivity and software come from one team. When a sensor goes quiet, there is one number to call instead of a sensor vendor, an integrator and a software provider blaming each other.
Local supply and support
Sensors are supplied and invoiced locally by FacilityBot Pte Ltd. No hunting for overseas distributors or import paperwork.
Start small with a kit
Starter kits bundle a gateway with sensors for one floor or washroom block, so you can prove the value on a pilot site before rolling out across the portfolio.

What can IoT sensors do for your facilities team?
Three of the most requested sensor deployments, the hardware each one uses, and what FacilityBot does with the data.
Use case 1
Smart toilet systems: clean washrooms when sensors say they need it
A smart toilet system uses odour, occupancy and footfall sensors to tell cleaning teams which washrooms need attention right now. Instead of fixed hourly rounds that miss peak periods, cleaners receive a trackable work order when a washroom actually needs cleaning, inspecting or restocking.
Typical trigger rules in FacilityBot
- Odour: a sustained high ammonia reading, or repeated alerts within a set window, creates a cleaning and ventilation-check task.
- Footfall: when visits pass the cleaning-cycle threshold, an inspection and spot clean is dispatched.
- Occupancy: non-urgent cleaning is held while a cubicle is in use, so cleaners arrive when they can work.
- Feedback: a visitor presses a smart button to flag a problem, opening a ticket tied to that exact washroom.
- Escalation: an odour alert still open after the service target escalates to the supervisor.
Use case 2
Indoor air quality sensors: catch stale air before occupants complain
Indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors continuously measure CO2, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), particulate matter, temperature and humidity in offices, classrooms, clinics and meeting rooms. High CO2 is a reliable sign that a space is under-ventilated for the number of people in it, and it is often the first thing occupants notice as stuffiness or drowsiness.
Typical trigger rules in FacilityBot
- CO2: a sustained high reading in a room creates a task for the M&E team to check the air handling unit or fresh-air damper.
- Temperature and humidity: drift outside the comfort band raises an air-conditioning check before hot-and-cold complaints arrive.
- Particulates and TVOC: spikes after renovation works, haze days or cleaning chemical use open an investigation ticket.
- Trends: readings build an IAQ history per floor for tenant reports, client SLA reviews and green building submissions.
Thresholds are set to the standard your building follows, such as Singapore's SS 554 code of practice for indoor air quality in air-conditioned buildings, or your client's own targets.
Use case 3
Hot desking sensors: see how desks are really used
FacilityBot's Hotdesks feature lets employees pick a zone, view the floor plan and book a desk through WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Chat, Line or Facebook Messenger. Occupancy sensors add the other half of the picture: whether booked desks are actually used, and which zones sit empty all week.
What sensor data adds to hot desking
- Booked versus used: compare bookings with real occupancy to spot no-shows and desks reserved out of habit.
- Right-sizing: utilisation by zone and day of week shows whether to consolidate floors, add desks or convert space to meeting rooms.
- Cleaning on demand: desks and zones that were used get cleaned, while untouched ones are skipped.
- Comfort: pair occupancy with IAQ readings so busy zones get the ventilation they need.
Need booked-but-empty desks released automatically, or a custom utilisation dashboard for HQ? A Forward Deployed Engineer can build site-specific rules on top of the sensor data.
How it works
How does FacilityBot supply and install IoT sensors?
Three steps from site survey to live work orders.
- Survey
Site survey & sensor plan
We review your floor plans and priorities, recommend which washrooms, rooms and zones to sensor first, and plan gateway positions for reliable coverage.
- Install
Supply & installation
Sensors and gateways are delivered, mounted and commissioned. Each device is registered in FacilityBot against its building, floor and room.
- Go live
Thresholds & automation
We set trigger thresholds and routing rules with your team, then tune them in the first weeks so alerts stay meaningful and cleaners are not flooded.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about IoT sensor supply
Can I buy IoT sensors directly from FacilityBot?
Yes. FacilityBot sells LoRaWAN IoT sensors, gateways and starter kits through its online store at store.facilitybot.co. FacilityBot can also install and commission the sensors on site and connect them to your FacilityBot account.
Which IoT sensors work with FacilityBot?
Every sensor in the FacilityBot store is selected to work with the FacilityBot platform. FacilityBot can also accept data from any sensor type that publishes to its MQTT broker with a FacilityBot sensor ID, so existing sensors in your building can usually be connected as well. See IoT sensors integration for details.
How do sensor readings become work orders in FacilityBot?
You set trigger thresholds for each sensor in FacilityBot. When a reading crosses a threshold, for example a sustained rise in washroom ammonia or CO2 in a meeting room, FacilityBot automatically creates a request ticket and assigns it to the right cleaner, technician or contractor for that location, with no manual dispatch.
Do I need a LoRaWAN gateway?
Yes. LoRaWAN sensors send their readings to a gateway, which forwards them to FacilityBot over the internet. One gateway usually covers several floors, but concrete cores, basements and large sites can need more. FacilityBot's site survey confirms how many gateways your building needs before you buy.
Do smart toilet sensors use cameras or identify users?
No. Smart toilet sensors measure odour, cubicle occupancy, footfall and consumable levels. Occupancy and people counting sensors detect presence and traffic without identifying individuals, and cameras are never appropriate in toilets or changing areas.
Can I install the sensors myself?
Yes. Many customers buy sensors from the FacilityBot store and mount them in-house, then register them in FacilityBot. Supply and installation suits larger rollouts or buildings where gateway placement, mounting heights and threshold tuning need an experienced team, since FacilityBot handles the survey, installation, commissioning and go-live.
