General
Introduction
           The Hub is a central IoT gateway with integrated wireless transmitters to uplink sensor data to the cloud
           backend. The Hub can connect to Energybox sensors (Dot) wirelessly and receive sensor data. The
           information will be time synchronized and aggregated. Connected to internet via LAN interface or the
           internal cellular modem the data can be uplinked to the cloud database.

Technical Documentation




Network connect
          The Hub requires an Internet connection and offers connectivity via the internal LAN network connection
          port or build in 4G Modem. Default setting is to 4G modem as primary link to Internet. The LAN port
          supports standard Ethernet communication at 10/100Mbps and TCP/IP protocol.

          Standard unit is equipped with international simcard for mobile network access and does not require
          user interaction for linking the unit to internet. After unit is powered will automatically link to cellular
          network and connect to cloud. The LEDs on unit indicate current state.

          For wired connectivity the Hub supports a local LAN interface, standard set to DHCP IP setting and with
          ability link to cloud through any standard broadband router. IP settings can be modified in admin portal
          of Hub towards static IPv4 setting.



IP settings (wired LAN connection)
            Default setting for IP connection of Hub is set to DHCP. There is a 4G over LAN fallback enabled.

          In case of usage inside a local network with firewall the following ports are required to be open to access
          the energybox cloud system:



Pairing of wireless Sensors (Dots)
The Hub supports whitelist method of pairing of sensors to the Hub. Each wireless sensor is equipped with a global
unique ID (UID) and once powered the sensor will seek for a Energybox Hub to transmit data to. The whitelist is a
list of UID inside Hub which is the ‘allowance list’. Hub will only accept sensors transmitting data to Hub that are
listed in whitelist. Once a sensor is transmitting data to Hub it is in paired mode causing the sensor to no longer
seek for a Hub rather than transmitting data in regular configured interval.

On admin portal of Hub is an overview of listed sensors in whitelist and status (paired / non-paired).

To add a device to whitelist and pair with Hub activate the pairing mode on Hub.




                                                                                                                         │12


Technical Documentation




The green LED of pairing mode starts flashing and Dots that are not yet paired and seeking for Hub will pair to Hub
accordingly. The flashing LED on dot indicates pairing seek and will be in off state once paired.

ATTENTION: Do not start pairing mode on multiple Hubs simultaneously in same communication area next to each
other as the pairing will be random by then.




Clear Buffer Data
The Hub provides Memory for storing measurement data up to 4 weeks in case of disconnect to host server. This
data can be manually erased following the procedure:

Step 1: power off Hub
Step 2: Hold RF link button

Step 3: Power on Hub

Step 4: RF link and cloud LED turn red, Status LED turn green

Step 5: Keep pressing RF link button for 15s

Step 6: Pairing and RF link LED turn green

Step 7: Release button

Reset RF setting
During normal operation of Hub press and hold RF link button and pairing button for 5s. This will reset the RF
settings.



                                                                                                                 │13

Admin Portal

The Hub is providing an internal webserver allowing access to devices admin portal for manual configuration
settings. To enter the admin portal attach the Hub to your network or computer with a wired LAN connection.

Start an internet browser (preferred Chrome) and enter the Hubs IP address. You will be linked to the device admin
portal.

          Ethernet setting applies between DHCP mode of operation or fixed IPv4 setting. Ports in use please see
          referring chapter in manual.

          Mobile setting applies the 4G/LTE setting. For Energybox simcard set to default. In case of instable 4G
          network a preference handling Mobile/LAN can be set.

          NTP servers are set to default NTP pool operation. In case of operating of unit inside intranetwork the
          settings can be modified.

          Cloud setting defaults to standard Energybox Host Server and can be modified for intranetwork
          operation.



Sensors




          Current whitelist of sensors shows which UID of sensors will be accepted by Hub and their actual pair
          status.

          Unpaired sensors shows only sensors that are seeking for Hub to pair to. On admin portal can manually
          add those to whitelist.

Setup Dot

General




          The Energybox Dot Sensor lines supports two models:

          Ambient Dot with internal temperature and humidity sensor

          Sensor Dot with external probe connector.




                                                                      │16


Technical Documentation




Powering Dot




The Dot can be battery powered or DC hard wired powered.

Open top cover by turn counterclockwise and insert 2x AA batteries (non-rechargeable). For DC wiring connect a 5V
/ 200mA DC source to the terminal for powering and follow polarity mark. The wiring can be support from
backside of dot through hole.



Mounting Dot




                                                                                                              │17


Technical Documentation


The dot comes with Velcro-tape for easy mounting on surface. Screw mounting is also provided and suitable
screws are in accessory of Dot package.

Connect the antenna to SMA jack of Dot. The Dot cannot operate properly without antenna connected.



Connecting Sensor Probe




The sensor connector supports probes from Energybox portfolio. The probe can be connected to Dot via sensor
connector and will be recognized automatically. In case of probe requires powering the sensor port will provide
this and no additional equipment is needed to operate the probe.
