Mechanical room with stainless steel piping, valves, and a pump motor

Features / Controls

Don't Just See the Problem. Shut It Off.

Actuators that act on what your sensors find. Switch alarms on and off, open and close shutoff valves, and automate lighting, fans, and equipment from one platform, from anywhere, across every building you run.

What You Can Control

Sensors tell you something is wrong. Controls let you do something about it without sending someone across town.

Alarms & Signals
Make sure someone on site knows, too.
  • Sirens, strobes, and buzzers switched on and off from the dashboard
  • Local alarms that sound at a freezer, a dock door, or a mechanical room
  • Silence an alarm remotely once someone is on the way
  • Stack lights and indicator lamps for status on the floor
Valves & Shutoffs
Stop the water before it reaches the ceiling below.
  • Motorized shutoff valves on water mains, risers, and branch lines
  • Zone valves for a single floor, unit, or restroom bank
  • Irrigation zones opened and closed on schedule or on demand
  • Valve position reported back, so you know it actually closed
Lighting & Equipment
Off when nobody needs it, on when they do.
  • Lighting circuits and zones switched by room, floor, or building
  • Exhaust fans, circulation pumps, and unit heaters
  • Signage, plug loads, and equipment left running after hours
  • Relays on existing circuits — no need to replace the fixtures

Automations

Let the Building Respond on Its Own

Tie any sensor, meter, schedule, or occupancy reading to an action. The building reacts in seconds, whether or not anyone is watching.

Leak Detected, Water Off
A leak sensor trips and the shutoff valve for that zone closes on its own, at 3 am or on a holiday weekend.
Occupancy-Driven Lighting
Lights follow the people. Rooms and floors switch on when occupied and off after they empty out.
Schedules & Holidays
Building hours, weekends, and holiday calendars set once per building, so equipment runs only when the building is open.
Daylight & Dusk
Perimeter and exterior lighting tied to daylight levels or sunset time instead of a timer someone forgot to adjust.
Conditions Drive Equipment
A hot electrical room turns on its exhaust fan. A cold sprinkler room turns on its heater. No one has to watch the number.
Escalate on Site
A cooler door left open for ten minutes sounds a local buzzer first, then alerts the manager if it's still open.

Rules

When This Happens, Do That

Automations are plain rules: a trigger and the actions that follow. Here are a few teams start with.

When

Leak sensor under the 4th-floor water heater detects water

Then

  • Close the 4th-floor zone valve
  • Alert building engineering
  • Log the event with valve position

When

Conference room empty for 15 minutes

Then

  • Switch the room's lighting off
  • Release the room for other bookings

When

Walk-in freezer above 10°F for 5 minutes

Then

  • Sound the kitchen alarm
  • Alert the on-call manager
  • Escalate to the backup if not acknowledged

When

Weekdays at 7 pm, and all day on holidays

Then

  • Turn off lobby signage and plug loads
  • Set the parking lot lights to dusk-to-dawn

Remote Control

Remote Control, With Guardrails

Switching real equipment from a browser should be deliberate, visible, and on the record.

Control From the Floor Plan
Every actuator sits on the floor plan next to the sensors it relates to. Click the valve or the lighting zone to switch it.
Confirmed, Not Assumed
Devices report back their actual state, so the dashboard shows what the valve or relay did, not just what it was told to do.
Permissions by Building
Decide who can view, who can switch, and who can edit automations, building by building and device by device.
Full Audit Trail
Every command and every automation run is recorded: what changed, who or what triggered it, and when.
Manual Override
Staff on site can always operate the equipment by hand. Automations pause or resume on your terms.
Runs Without the Internet
For critical systems, automations can run on an on-site server, so a lost connection doesn't stop a valve from closing.

AI Companion

Describe the Automation. Approve It. Done.

Tell your AI Companion what you want in plain language, and it drafts the automation for you. Nothing switches until a person approves it.

Example conversation with the Gostly AI Companion

Turn off the floor 2 lights whenever it's been empty for 15 minutes after hours.

Here's the automation: from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., when floor 2 occupancy reads zero for 15 minutes, switch the floor 2 lighting relays off — and back on when someone arrives.

Proposed: Create this automation for floor 2

Nothing changes until you approve it.

Gostly controls supplement, and do not replace, code-required fire alarm, sprinkler, and life-safety systems. Valves and relays on building systems are installed by licensed trades where local code requires it.

Start With the Valve That Would Have Saved You Last Time

Most teams start by pairing leak sensors with automatic shutoff valves, then add lighting and equipment schedules. Tell us about your buildings and we'll suggest where to begin.
