Technical Documentation 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. This document describes how to install a unit and ensure proper operation.

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.
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.
Technical Documentation 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.
Technical Documentation Network page 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.
Technical Documentation 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.
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.
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.
Technical Documentation Factory reset Dot To factory reset Dot and activate pairing mode again follow the procedure: Step 1: Press and hold button of Dot Step 2: Power on Dot Step 3: Keep holding button for >15s Step 4: Ensure LED flash quick for 3s Step 5: Click button once within 3s Dimensions Dot │19
Technical Documentation Firmware update Hub provides functionality for firmware update on both internal operating system and wireless connected devices. To ensure synchronized proper operation the Hub will update wireless connected devices automatically to same firmware being installed on Hub.
