IoT monitoring and automation platform for building heating systems
othermo builds remote monitoring and optimization software for district heating, gas heating, and heat pump installations across Europe. The tech stack reveals an engineering-first organization: PostgreSQL + TimescaleDB for time-series data, MQTT/BACnet/Modbus for industrial IoT protocols, Python/FastAPI for the API layer, and Prometheus/Grafana for observability—a mature architecture for handling continuous sensor streams at scale. Active hiring leans heavily toward mid- and senior-level engineers (7 of 9 open roles), suggesting both product velocity and the technical depth required to manage OTA updates and cross-vendor device integrations.
othermo is a German heating-systems software company founded in 2018, headquartered in Alzenau, Bavaria. The platform connects to existing building heating infrastructure—regardless of manufacturer—to continuously monitor performance, detect energy-saving opportunities, and execute optimization remotely without on-site visits. Typical outcomes cited are 15–20% energy consumption reductions and 35% fewer service visits. The product operates as a middleware layer, ingesting telemetry from multiple heating technologies (Fernwärme, gas, heat pumps, hybrids) and surfacing dashboards, alerts, and automated control recommendations to facility managers and energy teams. The company is structured as a public company with 11–50 employees.
