Niagara 4 Reimagined

Reflow is more than just another collection of widgets, it's a drop-in replacement for the entire Niagara user interface.

Save time on jobs

Reduce the time it takes to build station graphics – Reflow was designed to make creating equipment graphics, floor plans, and dashboards a quick and easy process.

Histories, Schedules, and Alarms work instantly, with zero configuration needed. This saves time on jobs while making your work look amazing – giving you a competitive advantage.

Responsive is built-in

Every view on every screen – Customers expect their critical data to be available on all of their devices – the building automation system is no exception.

With Reflow, you can deliver an immersive experience to every screen your customers use. The best part? It's built right in, so there's no additional setup or time required.

Floor plan editor

Fully featured graphics editor – Draw zones and arrows, insert images, labels, and text boxes, set colors based on Niagara points. Full control over each element including visibility, z-order, and mobile behavior.

Supercharge your workflow with built-in Actions. There's even one to automatically create linked labels for every device associated with the floor.

Equipment & Devices

Consistent graphics for the entire station – Reflow is packed full of features to display devices. The graphics are customizable, work the same on mobile and desktops, and include all Niagara point actions out of the box.

Browse devices by building, by floor, or by equipment type. Use our built-in library of equipment graphics or bring your own.

Embed Niagara views

Reuse what you already have – If you want to create a new custom view in the PX editor or leverage an existing one, you can embed Niagara views directly inside of Reflow pages – including equipment graphics.

Quickly add devices

Import a CSV and watch Reflow work – If you have a standard way of naming points, you're in luck. Import your point list and Reflow will automatically match point names on devices and link them to equipment graphics and floor plans.

Create dashboards like never before

Mobile-friendly dashboards built in just a few clicks – Connect Niagara 4 data with Reflow's elegant design elements. Choose from 10 unique card types including a built-in weather service with precipitation maps, gauges, hyperlinks, and Niagara points, histories, and alarms.

Alarm console

Pre-configured and ready to go – Tired of data tables that are hard to use on mobile? Reflow transforms table views in to responsive cards automatically.

Requirements

System Requirements

Reflow requires Niagara 4.6 or later running on a Web Supervisor or JACE 8000 (or equivalent) hardware
Reflow's module size is approximately 9 MB. It is recommended to have 25 MB of free space on your station's file system before installation, and keeping at least 10 MB of file space free during usage. This free space is used to store configuration data.
Reflow does not require additional memory or CPU upgrades and its impact on station memory, heap size, and CPU usage should be negligible. Please note that if your station is already at maximum memory or CPU capacity, adding any module, including Reflow, may be detrimental to your system.

Web Browser Support

Reflow supports all modern "evergreen" web browsers including the latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Specific browser version support includes the release up to two versions back from the time the Reflow version was released
Reflow does not support Internet Explorer

Security Considerations

Reflow inherits the Niagara security model. You can control access to Reflow in the same way you can control access to any component in your station.
Users/categories who do not have access to specific station components, points, devices, graphics, etc. will still not have access to these items in Reflow.
Reflow uses Niagara's built-in Web Service to serve all files and web requests. If HTTPS is enabled on the Web Service, requests will be served over HTTPS. If the WebService is disabled, Reflow will also be disabled.

Weather Data

Reflow uses AerisWeather for weather data including current conditions, forecasts, and live precipitation maps.
The Reflow module on the station will never directly connect to the weather data provider. This connection is made in the end user's web browser and will have no impact on station performance. An internet connection from your station is not required to use these features, however end users who wish to see this data must have an active internet connection and be authorized to connect via HTTPS to weather.niagaramodules.com from their local network.
The Reflow weather data provider caches weather station data for current conditions and forecasts for up to 15 minutes. Weather map images are cached for up to 30 minutes.

Pricing

Reflow licenses scale with device count, and come with 50 devices out of the box. You can add as many devices as you need to the initial 50, either right away or at any time in the future as your project grows.

What is a "device"?

A device represents a peice of equipment in your network that will be visualized in Reflow – VAVs, Air Handlers, meters, door locks, etc.

Devices have dedicated equipment graphic pages and can be added to Reflow content automatically including in equipment groups (systems), summary tables, and floor plans.

It's important to note that you only need to license devices that will be displayed in Reflow, and not all devices connected to your Niagara station. Only the devices that are added to Reflow will count towards your license's device limit.
