- Telkonet, Inc., now operating as a key component of the VDA-Telkonet Group, delivers innovative intelligent automation and Internet of Things solutions across various commercial sectors throughout the United States and globally. The company’s primary platforms, EcoSmart and Rhapsody, are engineered to provide substantial energy savings, comprehensive management reporting, advanced analytics, and virtual engineering for property-wide or room-specific energy consumption. The sophisticated EcoSmart platform is designed for operational efficiency, precisely managing energy usage on a room-by-room basis. Its diverse suite of connected hardware products includes the EcoTouch and EcoInsight thermostats, offering both touch-capacitive and programmable interfaces, alongside the wireless EcoAir and the recently introduced Aida occupancy-based smart thermostats. For lighting control, EcoInput and EcoSwitch devices integrate directly with existing switches, rendering them intelligent and manageable. The system also features EcoSource+ remote HVAC control devices and specialized EcoSmart VRF controllers for comprehensive climate management. Network communication within the EcoSmart environment is facilitated by the EcoConnect Bridge, acting as a Zigbee coordinator, and the EcoCommander Gateway, functioning as a network-edge server for data aggregation, analysis, and management. Intelligent sensing capabilities are provided by the EcoSense+ occupancy sensor, which monitors environments for motion, body heat, and ambient light, in addition to EcoContact door and window sensors offering remote, wireless contact solutions. For power management, EcoGuard smart outlets actively monitor and control electricity flow to various plug-load devices. Supporting these hardware components, the cloud-based EcoCentral dashboard serves as a central command center, providing real-time monitoring, data logging, analytics, and reporting capabilities accessible via desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Furthermore, the EcoSmart Mobile application, available for iOS and Android, utilizes mobile geolocation and cloud services to enhance occupancy detection and facilitate personalized scheduling for increased energy efficiency. Telkonet also extends professional support and maintenance through its EcoCare services. The company caters to a broad range of commercial markets, including hospitality, healthcare, public housing, educational institutions, governmental facilities, military housing, and multiple dwelling units, aiming to deliver a balance of occupant comfort and significant energy reductions, typically achieving 20-45% savings. Founded in 1977 and based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Telkonet has undergone strategic evolution. A pivotal development occurred in January 2022, when VDA Group S.p.A. finalized a strategic financing transaction, resulting in VDA acquiring a majority stake and integrating Telkonet into the global VDA-Telkonet Group, thereby expanding its reach in intelligent automation and energy management. In March 2023, the company announced its intention to voluntarily deregister its common stock from Securities Exchange Act reporting requirements, with its shares continuing to be quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Market.
