Control the building systems you already have.
For property owners and managers, IOC adds retrofit control, monitoring, and recovery to the circuits, controllers, and equipment already inside the building.
Start with one recurring problem—lighting that wastes energy, irrigation that is hard to manage, equipment that keeps freezing, or a circuit you cannot clearly measure. IOC installs the node needed for that problem, configures it, and verifies the result.
One circuit, controller, device, plug-load, pump, gateway, zone, or monitoring point.
The result—not the promise—decides whether the next installation is justified.
Owners begin locally. Portfolios, cities, and utilities gain value as more suitable physical points become dependable.
At 8600 Glenoaks, a Smart Light Management deployment covering 256 fixtures reported more than 50 percent energy reduction and received 2024 recognition through the U.S. Department of Energy Integrated Lighting Campaign.
What problem keeps repeating at the property?
IOC begins with a problem people already recognize. We identify the circuit, controller, or device behind it and build the first installation around that real need.
Lights run too hard for too long.
Control garage, hallway, stairwell, parking, pole, and exterior lighting at the circuit level. Apply useful schedules and staged output, monitor operation, and verify the result.
Controllers are scattered and hard to reach.
Give managers and field teams better control over irrigation schedules and zones without depending on weak property Wi-Fi or repeated trips to controller boxes.
A frozen device creates a service call.
Add controlled reset and recovery to supported routers, gateways, readers, cameras, and other equipment so routine failures do not always require a trip to the property.
You cannot clearly see what a circuit is doing.
Track runtime and estimated energy use, review operating history, and create an independent record for equipment, vendor billing, or portfolio decisions.
The node goes where the problem is.
IOC works with the systems already in place. The first node connects at the circuit, controller, plug-load, or equipment point that needs better monitoring, control, recovery, scheduling, or measurement.
That means the first project can stay focused: one garage-lighting circuit, one irrigation controller, one pump, one gateway, one reader, or another recurring problem.
Start with one problem.
We review the recurring problem, identify the circuit or equipment involved, and define a focused first installation.
You receive a clear scope, installation plan, and price before work begins.
Show us the recurring problem.
Send a short description, photo, bill, controller image, panel image, or equipment information.
We install and configure the first node.
We configure the node for the monitoring, control, scheduling, reset, recovery, or measurement required for that problem.
We verify the result.
You review what changed and decide whether the same solution should be repeated elsewhere in the building or portfolio.
What you receive
A working retrofit installation, the settings needed for the selected problem, operating visibility, recorded history, and a verified result. A typical single-circuit installation is designed for hours of field work, not weeks or months of construction.
The problem in one building is often repeating across the portfolio.
One garage may be overlit, but the same schedule may be running in ten garages. One property may have a frozen gateway, while the same device is creating service calls across many locations. One irrigation controller may be hard to reach, while the same control problem exists throughout the portfolio.
IOC lets the owner solve the first case, verify the result, and then repeat the proven installation and settings across similar circuits, equipment, and properties.
Start with one property problem. See how IOC extends across portfolios, cities, and the grid.
Owners and managers can begin with a real building problem. Utilities, cities, installers, media, and readers exploring the larger architecture each have a dedicated page.

Press & Media KitHelp move the first domino.
Some people will buy IOC. Some will install it. Others can make the decisive introduction—to a property, portfolio, utility, city, institution, field partner, or media contact. The participation path makes that contribution visible, attributable, and able to lead to the next real conversation.
Choose the IOC perspective that fits your role.
The IOC Library explains the architecture from different perspectives: the unfinished electrical machine, everyday building failures, the physical boundary, coherent demand, field deployment, owner economics, category recognition, and the future of physical governance.
The books show why today’s power challenge requires both new supply and a more capable demand side. They also give journalists, podcast hosts, energy leaders, technology leaders, and property decision-makers a clear path into the parts of IOC most relevant to them.
Begin with the free introduction, then choose the deeper perspective most relevant to you.
See why rising power demand requires both new supply and a more capable demand side beneath the meter.
Read the owner economics—or move directly from the idea to one repeating building problem.
The grid is half-built. IOC completes the missing demand-side operating layer.
Electricity already has generation, transmission, and distribution. What it still lacks is a common way to know what ordinary loads are, protect what must keep running, coordinate what can safely change, restore normal operation in order, and record what happened.
People should not have to become the emergency control system for infrastructure that cannot tell the difference between what must keep running and what can safely wait.
IOC gives the demand side the operating structure it has never had below the meter. Buildings stop appearing as one blind block of load. Their circuits and equipment can be recognized individually, coordinated within clear limits, restored in order, and verified afterward.
The internet organized information. IOC organizes demand.
Show us one problem that keeps repeating.
Tell us what keeps wasting energy, requiring a site visit, losing connection, following the wrong schedule, or operating without a clear record. We will identify the first circuit, controller, or device to address—and whether the same pattern is repeating elsewhere in the portfolio.
