A page to modify the operational settings for the sensor will load. Be sure to click the Save button after making any changes. Consult the user guides or video tutorials for your sensor for a definition of settings and instructions for mounting the device.

GATEWAY OVERVIEW

HOW GATEWAYS WORK

A gateway is the device that manages communication between your sensors and servers. On startup, the gateway will periodically transmit a heartbeat, checking in with the servers to make sure it is still receiving an active signal. Sensors also have heartbeats and will relay information to the gateway, which then forwards the data to the server. There are four different types of gateways:

Cellular Gateways: Uses cell towers to facilitate communication between gateways and the monitoring system.
Ethernet Gateways: Requires an ethernet cable to establish a connection between your gateway and Monnit Servers using an IEEE 802.3 network.
USB Gateways: Uses an existing Internet connection on a PC to facilitate communication with the Monnit servers.
Serial Modbus Gateway: Acts as a data concentrator for Monn it wireless sensor networks.

In order for your wireless sensors to work optimally, you should orient all antennas for your sensor(s) and gateway(s) the same direction (typically vertical).

On iMonnit Express, find Gateways in the main navigation menu to start modifying your gateway settings.
A list of all the gateways registered to your account will display. There should be at least one gateway registered to your account in order for your sensors to be active.

ADDING A GATEWAY

Gateways can be added on the gateway page by clicking the Add Gateway button.

A box will pop-up prompting the entry of the Device ID and Security Code. These can be found on the label of your device. On gateways, this label is typically located on the bottom of the device. The Device ID consists of numbers. The Security Code is a set six capital letters. MONNIT-MNW-EX-01

Adjust settings for your gateway by clicking the Gateway Edit button.

ACTIONS OVERVIEW

Select Actions from the Main Menu to set actions for your devices.
Actions are triggers or alarms set to let you know when a sensor reading identifies that immediate attention is needed. Types of actions include sensor readings or low battery. Any one of these can be set to send a notification or trigger an action in the system.

CREATING AN ACTION

Select the Add Action button.

Step 1: Create a rule for your action?

Choose a name for your action.
The drop-down menu will have the following options for Rule Types:

Sensor Reading: Set actions based on sensor activity or reading.
Low Battery: This is where you can set to be notified when the battery level drops below a percentage.

This example will cover how to create a Sensor Reading action.

Select Sensor Reading from the drop-down menu.
A second drop-down menu will appear. From here, you will be able to see a list of the different type of sensors registered to your account.
Next, you will be asked to input the trigger settings.
Press the “Save” button.

Step 2: What happens when this rule is met?

A. Here you will be asked to specify the Email contents. Include a subject line for the notification.
B. Next, enter content that the notified user will see when they receive this notification.
C. Select recipients for the notification by clicking the paper airplane icon next to the recipient’s name. The icon will turn green.

Be sure to select the Save button before moving on.

Step 3: Which devices will trigger the action?
Choose which devices to attach to the action by selecting the 41 icons.
Once completed, select the Done button.

USER LIST OVERVIEW

The user list page can be accessed through the main menu. The user list will display all users who have access to your account.
Having additional users on an account gives you the chance to act as an administrator. This can be extremely helpful for a large company and several people need access to Monnit sensors in the event of an emergency.

The user will be added to the list of users on the account.

SETTINGS OVERVIEW

iMonnit Express notifications require setting up an SMTP Server. You can set and make adjustments to your SMTP credentials on the Settings Page. This is accessible by clicking “Settings” in the main menu.
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. This is a communication protocol for electronic mail transmission. This must be set up for communication with iMonnit Express to be established and for the application to work properly.

You will be logged out of the application and prompted to enter the Activation Key number.

DATA PUSH OVERVIEW

Choose Data Push from the main menu to set up an MOTT: Azure loT or MOTT: AWS loT data push. MOTT is a widely adopted, lightweight messaging protocol designed for constrained devices.

CREATING A NEW DATA PUSH

To create a new data push, select the Create New button.

The pop up window will prompt you to choose a Data Push Type. There are two options; MOTT: Azure loT an MOTT: AWS loT.

MQTT: Azure loT

This is a data push messaging protocol that works primarily with Microsoft Azure. If you are using MOTT v3.1.1, that will call from port 8883. If you are using MOTT v3.1.1 over WebSocket, that will call from on port 443. Selecting MOTT: Azure loT data push type will open the following settings:

A. loT Hub Name – URL address for the loT hub.
B. Device ID – Enter your Azure Device ID.
C. Topic – Topic for the message being published.

AWS is a data push messaging protocol that works primarily with Amazon Web Services.
Selecting MOTT: AWS loT data push type will open the following settings:

A. EndPoint – Address for your personal AWS loT endpoint.
B. Broker Port – Number for where the server data from the AWS message broker is received.
C. Client ID – Name associated with the AWS account.
