1. UNOcentral product descriptions
UNOsensors (includes models of UNOnext and UNOlite) is an indoor air quality
monitor. It detects temperature, humidity, and the concentration of various gases, and has
the ability to link with ventilation equipment for automatic or manual operation according
to air quality. The combination of gas sensors varies with each model. The full-featured
model includes sensors for temperature, humidity, illuminance, carbon dioxide (CO2),
carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC),
ozone (O3), PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 (Only UNOlite supports). UNOcentral is the web GUI
management host for UNOsensors. UNOcentral can monitor, manage, and control
ventilation equipment for up to 16 or 32 UNOsensors through the RS485 connection
communication between UNOcentral and UNOsensors (based on UNOcentral HW
version). If the operator cannot easily set up the RS485 connection, UNOcentral can use
the MQTT protocol to receive the monitoring data of the WiFi-enabled UNOsensor
(hereinafter referred to as UNOsensor WiFi) via the network through the support of the
system integrator and distributor. For the functional differences between multi-models of
UNOsensors after linking with UNOcentral, see Table 1. Note: UNOsensors cannot be
controlled by UNOcentral when the communication between UNOsensors and
UNOcentral is conducted through MQTT.
UNOcentral provides Globalview and Signage functions. With Globalview, you can
view the statuses of all connected UNOsensors at the same time: Including connection
status, sensor value, switch and operation mode of linked ventilation equipment. While
Signage is for a single UNOsensor’s sensor value display. In terms of management
control, UNOcentral provides the UNOcentral Management Panel to manage UNOcentral;
the UNOsensor Operation Panel is used to view and control the detailed information of
6
each UNOsensor.
UNOcentral provides UNOsensor data warehouse and event alarm functions. For all
UNOsensor devices connected to UNOcentral, the sensor values will be stored at a
frequency of 1 every 6 minutes, and the data can be browsed for any day within 3 years. In
addition, if event alarms are set correctly, UNOcentral will continue to detect abnormal
events, such as: If air quality exceeds standards, UNOsensor is abnormal, or the ventilation
equipment is abnormal, it will be sorted and sent to the designated email inbox.
We hope that users can conveniently monitor and manage all-important places
through the combination of UNOsensor, UNOcentral, and ventilation equipment—in that
way, everyone can enjoy good air quality and a good living environment.

1.3 UNOsensor WiFi connection method (MQTT)
If the owner is unable to set up RS485 cables for UNOcentral and UNOsensors due
to certain reasons, UNOcentral can also use the MQTT connection to receive information
from UNOsensor’s sensors and linked ventilation equipment. The set up requirements
are as follows:
1. UNOcentral must be switched to MQTT mode, and the MQTT parameters and
UNOsensor information must be correctly set.
◼Switch Mode: Refer to 2.1.1.1 A System Management to switch.
◼MQTT Settings: Refer to 2.1.1.3 MQTT-Link settings to set parameters.
◼UNOsensor WiFi Settings: Refer to 2.1.1.4 UNOsensor WiFi settings to set.
2. Purchase UNOsensor WiFi version (Please refer to Table 1), and correctly set WiFi and
MQTT parameters via UNOnext Engineer App.
The connection parameters to let UNOsensor to connected the UNOcentral built-in
MQTT server is below.
◼IP: follow UNOcentral network settings, may be checked by network manager
or IT personnel.
◼Port: 1883
◼SSL/TLS is not supported
◼Username: isdunocentral
◼Password: hellocentralmqtt
This function is an advanced function of UNOcentral and UNOsensor. If you need to use
it, please consult your system integrator or distributor for support.
12
1.4 UNOweb support
UNOcentral also supports browsing from an external network (Internet) via UNOweb
to browse data on a UNOsensor connected to UNOcentral. UNOweb is a cloud service
provided by the UNO team that allows users to conveniently browse the sensor data of
UNOcentral and UNOsensor WiFi with external network functionality on the external
network. It also provides historical data from different times for download, according to
the differences in the capabilities of UNOcentral and UNOsensor WiFi products.
When UNOcentral is installed, if the physical network cable (installation on the LAN1
port recommended) has the ability to transmit externally, then UNOcentral will provide
the data to UNOweb. Users can register a user account on the UNOweb website and add
the UNOcentral device; they can then view the UNOsensor data connected to UNOcentral
through the Globalview, Signage, and Chart provided by UNOweb. For the use of UNOweb,
see the UNOweb operation documentation. The UNOweb link:
https://isdweb.deltaww.com
Note:
1. UNOweb support limitations for UNOcentral and UNOsensor WiFi: Ports 1883/1884
(SSL Opt.) of the installation site of UNOcentral and UNOsensor WiFi are required to
be open for external connection and let UNOcentral and UNOsensor WiFi to
communicate with the UNOweb host.
2. UNOweb’s browsing restrictions: In addition to ports 80/443 (SSL Opt.) used for
standard web page HTTP/HTTPS (SSL Opt.) browsing, UNOweb also uses ports
8883/8884 (SSL Opt.) for NO_SSL and SSL transmission, respectively. If UNOweb
cannot be used normally on the internal network, it is recommended to check the
firewall rules with the network manager or IT personnel.
13
2. Web GUI
This chapter will start to describe the web GUI of UNOcentral. If the user uses an input
device (keyboard, mouse) directly in UNOcentral and uses the HDMI interface to output
to the screen, then the user may open the browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:8888 in the
address bar to open the web GUI of UNOcentral. If you are using other hosts for
management, you need to confirm that the management host and UNOcentral can use
port 8888 for HTTP communication. This should be discussed with the IT unit of the
operator or user, and it is recommended to set a fixed IP for UNOcentral; it is also
recommended for the network cable to be connected to the LAN1 port. See Figure 1.
Different cases will use Table 4 sample URL as an example.
