What is Microshare.io
Microshare.io is a smart buildings and IoT data platform focused on collecting, normalizing, and operationalizing sensor and building-system data for workplace and facility use cases. It supports applications such as occupancy and space utilization, indoor environmental monitoring, asset and condition monitoring, and operational workflows for facilities teams. The product emphasizes integrating data from multiple sensor vendors and systems and exposing that data through dashboards, alerts, and APIs for downstream applications and analytics.
Multi-source IoT data integration
Microshare.io is designed to ingest data from heterogeneous IoT sensors and building systems rather than relying on a single hardware ecosystem. This approach fits portfolios where sites have different sensor vendors, protocols, and deployment histories. It can reduce the need to replace existing devices when adding new smart-building use cases. It also supports using the same data foundation across multiple applications (e.g., occupancy and environmental monitoring).
Operational monitoring and alerts
The platform supports near-real-time monitoring with rules/alerts that facilities teams can use for operational response. This is useful for use cases like air quality thresholds, equipment condition signals, and space/occupancy exceptions. Compared with platforms centered mainly on energy or HVAC control, it is oriented toward sensor-driven operational workflows. It can help standardize how events are detected and routed across sites.
API-oriented data access
Microshare.io provides programmatic access patterns (APIs/integrations) that enable exporting data to BI tools, data lakes, or custom applications. This is valuable for organizations that want to combine building data with HR, workplace, or maintenance systems. It supports a vendor-neutral architecture where analytics and visualization can be decoupled from data collection. This can improve flexibility for enterprise IT and data teams.
Control/BMS depth may vary
Smart-building platforms differ in how deeply they support direct building automation control (e.g., HVAC optimization, lighting control loops) versus monitoring and analytics. Microshare.io is primarily positioned around IoT data and operational insights, so organizations may still require separate building management/automation systems for closed-loop control. Integration effort and achievable control depth depend on the site’s existing BAS/BMS and available protocols. Buyers should validate specific control and commissioning requirements per building.
Integration effort is non-trivial
A vendor-neutral approach typically requires configuration work to map devices, normalize telemetry, and maintain connectors across different sensor types and firmware versions. Data quality (calibration, drift, missing data) can affect analytics and alert reliability and may require ongoing governance. Large portfolios may need dedicated resources for rollout, device lifecycle management, and change control. This can increase time-to-value compared with single-vendor, tightly coupled stacks.
Reporting depends on use case setup
Out-of-the-box dashboards and KPIs may not match every organization’s definitions for occupancy, utilization, or environmental compliance. Many outcomes depend on how spaces are modeled, how sensors are placed, and how thresholds and schedules are configured. Organizations seeking standardized, prescriptive reporting across all sites may need additional customization. Buyers should confirm which reports are native versus requiring configuration or external BI.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Per-sensor subscription (Sensing-as-a-Service). Pricing is quoted per active sensor and varies by product, volume and length of commitment.
Free tier/trial: No permanently free tier or time-limited trial is shown on the vendor site.
Example costs:
- EverSmart™ Rodent — Basic Account: $5.00 per sensor / month (monthly). Annual subscription (charged 12 months in advance) saves 30%. Three-year (36 months paid in advance) saves 50%.
Other notes & vendor statements:
- Microshare states it charges on a "per sensor per month" basis and that pricing can be simplified into two sensor categories (Category 1 and Category 2) and is affected by volume and commitment length. The site indicates typical customers sign 3–5 year commitments and billing is commonly collected annually in advance. Many product pages advise contacting sales for more information or quotes.
