You are no longer handcuffed to the BMS product range you chose
all those years ago. Just when you thought you have made a lifelong

The technology nowadays allows end-users to break free and not be

contact BG Controls Group and discuss the possibility of extending
their system with an alternative product range. Thanks to new open
protocol technology, in many cases, this can be done without the
need to change the front-end graphics system they have become so
familiar with.
