Configuration with Efento Cloud

Configuration with Efento Cloud

Efento Cloud is a platform that receives and stores all the data collected by the loggers. On Efento Cloud you can preview all the measurements, export them as a PDF or CSV report and set up notifications. The key functions of Efento Cloud platform are:

• Displaying the data – measurements from loggers can be visualised in the form of a chart or table, just click on one of the devices in “Dashboard”. The chart range can be modified by dragging the cursor vertically and horizontally.

• Generating reports – To generate a report you can either click on one of the loggers, then “Reports”, select the time interval and entry, then choose to export it as a PDF or CSV, or go to the “Reports” section and do the same thing. In this section, you can also configure automatic reports, which will be sent to specified email addresses at the scheduled time (e.g. every month, every day).

• Rules / notifications – Efento Cloud can send SMS / email notification if the measured values are out of the safe range. Rules can be created in the “Rules” section. To create a rule, you need to choose one of the physical values, add recipients by typing their emails or phone numbers, and select for which loggers this rule will be active. There is also a possibility to delay the alarm

• Alarms– if any of the rules are violated, the alarm will be triggered and saved on the platform. All the historical alarms are visible in the “Alarms” section.

• User management – In the “Users” section you can invite users to your organization, remove them or change their roles and permissions.

This is only a short list of key functions of the Efento Cloud platform. For more information about the platform and full configuration manual please refer to Efento Cloud User Manual.

Configuration of Efento NB-IoT loggers is done with Efento mobile application for Android devices that can be downloaded from Google Play.

1. Set up a new account on cloud.efento.io and create a new organization. If you already have an account, skip this step.

2. Download and install Efento mobile application for Android on your device. When the application launches for the first time, the user is asked to decide how the application will be used - to communicate with Efento Cloud or with nearby devices. Select Efento Cloud and log in to your Efento Cloud account.

3. Tap on the main menu icon (three lines in the upper left corner) and select “Organisation settings” -> “Add loggers”. Follow the instructions on the screen to configure the logger and add it to your Organization.

4. Configure alert rules, which will send you an SMS / email notification, if the values measured by the logger are out of the safe range or if the logger data do not reach the platform. In the Efento mobile app go to the Main menu and select the “Alarm rules” tab, set up the rule and save the changes.

If you set a rule for the logger (e.g. humidity over 40% RH), the value will be sent to the logger during the next communication. From that moment on, if the measured value exceeds the threshold, the logger will send the data to Efento Cloud immediately, no matter what the transmission interval is.
