Reflow 2

Every click, layout and detail — optimized for the modern integrator. Reflow 2 separates the core application from your content, so an interface becomes something you design, publish and reuse. Not something you rebuild, building by building.

Why Reflow

The Experience Problem

Building interfaces are desktop-first, a decade out of date, and hand-built on every job. Owners expect a modern, consistent experience across every device and property — integrators are the ones who have to deliver it.

Reflow is the interface owners expect — without the design, code and implementation work integrators shouldn't have to do.

Flexible bindings. Smarter interfaces.

Bindings are what make your interface come alive in Reflow. They connect UI elements directly to live data from your system — so what users see isn't static, it's real-time, interactive and meaningful.

Connect Data to Experience — Seamlessly.

  • Math Functions, Right in the Binding

    Min, Max, Average, Sum, Difference, Product, Median and Mode, calculated right in the binding. You don't need extra wiresheet logic for simple math.

  • Color Bindings that Carry Meaning

    A deviation style keyed to min and max, with its own fallback. Values update automatically and visuals respond to conditions.

  • Clarity, Not Decoration

    Color and icons work together so operators spot problems at a glance. There's no logic to wire per view and nothing to rebuild for every screen.

One instance. Every project.

Projects change how you organize and scale content. Rather than one fixed configuration, a single Reflow instance can now hold many projects — each with its own structure, customization, and deployment lifecycle.

An instance you grow, not one you rebuild.

  • Multi-Project Flexibility

    One Reflow instance, many fully independent projects, for clients, facilities, or rollouts.

  • Tailored Experiences

    Customize configurations for different users or clients without duplication or rework.

  • Controlled Deployment

    Build, test and refine updates safely behind the scenes, then publish in one seamless action.

Draft. Refine. Publish with confidence. In-progress work stays separated from the live user experience — so an accidental disruption stops being a possibility.

Block Editor

Build it where you'll see it.

The new Block Editor lets you build and edit content directly in a preview pane. Paired with the new Binding System, Blocks create interactive dashboards, equipment views and more — dynamic, customizable user experiences that were previously unattainable.

Edit in place. See it as you build.

  • Every Built-in Page is Customizable

    Alarms, Histories, Schedules and Device pages are fully editable now, unlocking creative potential that used to stop at the system pages.

  • Edit in Place, See it Immediately

    The preview pane is the page. No separate design surface, no reconciling — just layout decisions against real content and real data.

  • Move a Block Anywhere

    Drag to move and resize blocks directly in the preview. Customize block positions and sizes for different screen sizes.

Templates. Start faster, stay consistent, scale.

Templates are pre-built, reusable starting points for Pages — structure, design, logic and variables in one customizable package. Start from a proven foundation instead of building every page from scratch.

Drive consistency at scale.

  • Uniform Look & Feel Across Deployments

    Deploy high-quality interfaces in a fraction of the time — and have the tenth building look like it was designed alongside the first.

  • One Experience Operators Learn Once

    Someone who learns one Reflow site knows how to use the next. Training stops being a per-project cost.

  • Extend or Modify as Needed

    Buildings, Alarms, Equipment, Histories and Schedules all ship as templates. Tailor them to your workflow and redeploy.

Collaboration. It knows the building.

This is where the conversation and the system finally meet. Type @ to link teammates, equipment, schedules, and histories. Your comment doesn't just mention the boiler, it links to it. Pin what's urgent, attach photos, and every thread stays with the equipment it's about.

Where the conversation meets the system.

  • Mention People + Equipment

    Type @ for a teammate — or a building, device, schedule or history. Hover for a card, click to jump there. Rename it later and the link holds.

  • Three Levels of Urgent

    Pin a comment or task urgent, high or for review and it moves to a pinned section at the top of the timeline, color-coded and sorted by priority.

  • Built-in Audit Log

    Notes and tasks appear in the same timeline as the system audit log, providing useful context alongside a complete history of actions.

Attachments, reactions, inline editing and Enter to post — the small things that decide whether people actually use it.

A smarter plugin architecture.

The Reflow Plugin System extends the platform without overloading it. Instead of bundling every feature into one rigid system, first- and third-party plugins run as independent modules.

Adapt as your workflows grow.

  • Add Capabilities Only When They're Needed

    Reporting, kiosks, advanced and equipment graphics — added where they add value, absent everywhere else.

  • Each Plugin is a Separate Module

    Update on a plugin's own schedule instead of waiting for a platform release — no disruption to your workflow.

  • Powerful Without Becoming Bloated

    Tailor deployments to specific clients, industries or environments — no full redesign, no system overhaul.

Themes that adapt to your needs.

A theme is the visual language of the whole interface — navigation, page layouts, typography, color and every dashboard block. Change it per project or per user and nothing underneath moves: same station, same points, same logic.

Great experiences aren't one-size-fits-all.

  • Apply Themes Per Project or Per User

    One system, endless looks. Style it for any site, user, or brand. The foundation never changes.

  • Change once, update everywhere.

    Navigation, page layouts and dashboard cards all follow the theme.

  • Light & Dark Mode Variations Built-in

    Both variations ship with every theme, so comfort and legibility aren't a separate project.

A growing theme library. Classic is available at launch, with more themes coming — adopt and apply them seamlessly as they arrive.

Canvas editor. Design without boundaries.

This is the Floor Plan Editor evolved. Floor plans still work the way you know them — and the same surface is now a free-form canvas where you design dashboard cards, equipment graphics and complete visual interfaces. A full replacement for anything previously built with the PX editor.

A new canvas for modern interfaces.

  • Size Presets

    Start every canvas at the perfect size with presets for Floor Plans, Device Graphics, and Dashboard Cards at various widths.

  • Light & Dark Styles

    Use different images and colors for light and dark mode, the canvas follows the viewer's color mode instead of forcing one look on everyone.

  • Visually Compelling, Operationally Effective

    Flexibility and real editing control in one place, so your team builds dynamic, polished interfaces that still do the job an operator needs them to do.

Built for a connected world.

Deliver localized experiences effortlessly across languages, regions and users. The entire app configuration and your content can now be fully localized, including date and time formats — with automatic language detection for each user.

Adapt with 15+ languages as your workflows grow.

  • Configuration Fully Localized

    Not just the end-user interface. Work in your native language while building content. Language extensions can be downloaded and installed directly within the app as you need them.

  • Your Users See Their Language

    An end-user's language is detected and applied to Reflow content automatically — one deployment can serve a genuinely international team.

  • Automatic Translation Built-in

    Sprechen Sie kein Deutsch? ¡No hay problema! Leverage Reflow AI to translate your custom content to every language in one click.

Hundreds of Changes

The changes you'll feel day one.

When we started on Reflow 2, we put every aspect under the microscope: what worked, what didn't, and what could work better. In the end, the core has been rebuilt, the way you interact with content is fresh, and nearly every system and page in the product has been touched. Below are a few highlights among the hundreds of changes you'll uncover as you craft new experiences with Reflow 2.

User Experience

  • Real-Time Editing

    Your whole team can work in the same project at once and see each other's edits as they happen.

    • Real-Time
    • Multi-User

    Expanded App Config separates the core application from your content, making projects modular, simpler to manage, troubleshoot, and maintain.

    • Modular Projects
    • Light & Dark Modes
  • Advanced Storage & Sync

    A new storage engine makes syncing faster and more reliable. Multiple users can work at once, with changes appearing across browsers in real time.

    • Real-Time
    • Multi-User
  • Compatibility & Performance

    Backwards compatibility means a clean upgrade from earlier versions. Performance is better across the board, with faster load times at any project size.

    • Reduced Loading Times
    • No Rebuild

System Requirements

Reflow inherits the Niagara security model and adds a negligible footprint on memory and CPU usage. Here's everything you need to check off before quoting the job.

  • 4.10+

    Requires Niagara 4.10 or Later

  • JACE 8000

    Or Equivalent / Web Supervisor

  • 20 MB

    Total Module Size

  • Station & Hardware

    1. Niagara 4.10 or later on a Web Supervisor or JACE 8000 (or equivalent) hardware.
    2. Module size is approximately 20 MB. It is recommended to have 75 MB free on the station file system before installation, and reserving 50 MB for Reflow content and configuration data.
    3. No additional memory or CPU upgrades required — impact on station memory, heap size and CPU should be negligible.
  • Browsers & Devices

    1. All modern "evergreen" browsers, including the latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
    2. Support covers the release up to two versions back from the time the Reflow version was released.
    3. All iOS web browsers on iOS 14 or later.
    4. Android browsers compliant with Chrome 64 or later — latest Chrome on Android recommended.
  • Data, Maps & Security

    1. Reflow inherits the Niagara security model — users without access to specific components, points, devices or graphics still won't have access to them in Reflow.
    2. Maps use MapBox; weather uses Xweather. Neither connects from the station — the connection is made in the end user's browser.
    3. Weather data caches for up to 15 minutes; weather map images for up to 30 minutes.
