Who we are

We develop wireless sensors and IoT cloud platform for sensor data

Efento was founded in 2014. Since the beginning, we focus on solutions in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), Machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and Cloud computing.

As one of the few companies in the world, we offer an integrated solution for monitoring and analyzing various physical parameters, based on wireless sensors (Bluetooth Low Energy, Narrowband IoT), advanced cloud platform, and mobile applications.

Our vision

We want to make monitoring of any physical or chemical value as easy as possible

In the coming years, billions of IoT devices will be deployed around the World. Efento is one of the World’s pioneers in physical and chemical values sensors based on wireless IoT communication techniques. When designing our products, we make sure that both our hardware and software are:

Convenient to use

Our solutions are designed to make the setup and operations as easy as possible. Unlike the current hardware, our loggers are easy to install and work for a long time without any maintenance by the users. Data collection and analysis software is hosted by us, so customers do not need to worry about setting up, maintaining and updating server infrastructure.

Complete

We offer a complete solution for data collecting and analysis including sensors, transmission and cloud platform.

Cost efficient

Our solutions are designed in a way to be cost effective. Due to simple installation and no maintenance, long battery life, low transmission costs and software hosting in the cloud, the total cost of ownership of Efento products is lower comparing to traditional monitoring solutions.

Universal

We believe, that the IoT is all about data. That’s why Efento’s sensors and cloud platform allow you to integrate with any third party solution and enrich your data with the insights you may get from the wireless sensors

Over 20 sensors

We have over 20 types of wireless sensors in or product portfolio

User can configure the device to detect every single movement or set the number of movements in a time period required to detect the room occupancy. NB-IoT motion / presence sensor

 
 
 
 
 

Efento mobile application

Efento mobile application allows users to interact with all Efento sensors
(configuration, reading the measurements) and Efento Cloud platform (access to the sensors measurements and all cloud functions through a mobile device). Application is available free of charge in Google Play.  You can display current and historical measurements from the sensors, check the alerts, change the alarm rules, generate and schedule reports and manage users. All you need to do is download a free mobile application from Google Play and log in to your Efento Cloud account. The application is also used to wirelessly configure NB-IoT sensors and Efento Gateways.
