DESCRIPTION AND MODELS

ΙοΤWis a Modbus to Wi-Fi gateway which connects a compatible device or a temperature/humidity sensor to the cloud IoT and the Cortex platform. Communication is

established through the serial input of the device and via internet. User can access the platform either via mobile application or via a browser to any pc. Cortex platform can

fully monitor and control many devices, send email and notifications to mobile, in case of an alarm. Connection to the local router is established via Wi-Fi protocol. IoTW

gateway can connect to only one device through a supplied 5 pole cable; it has a control button and an indication LED. IoTW gateway is powered either with an external power

supply +5Vdc or directly from the device via the serial input. Compatible to EN12830.

LED INDICATIONS, Wi-Fi SIGNAL AND SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION ON CORTEX PLATFORM

1. From your smartphone and from the app store, download the application Cortex KIOUR and give access to

anything the application needs. The connection between the mobile and the gateway is established via Bluetooth

BLE , so enable Bluetooth to your mobile and give access to Bluetooth and the location of your device.

2. Create an account by clicking on Create Account. The email you are about to register will receive future notifications

in case of alarms and cannot change later. Only the password can change later.

3. Once an account is created, a confirmation email is send to the registered mail. Press the link from the mobile where

the application is located, in order to activate your Cortex account and you will redirect to the main dashboard of the

platform.

4. Once you are in, no device is listed yet to the main dashboard and it is displayed No data to display.

1. Connect the serial input of the device to the gateway via the supplied 5-pole cable. Power up the device and the gateway. Gateway’s LED starts blinking 2 times/second,

which indicates that the gateway is waiting to connect to the local Wi-Fi.

2. Press in the upper right corner, to find your device and register the available Wi-Fi network. On the gateway’s label find its

data.

3. If your network is not listed, press refresh in the upper right corner.

4. If the Wi-Fi credentials are correct, the provisioning is successful and Done is displayed on screen. By pressing it, you are back to

the main dashboard.

If the Wi-Fi credentials are incorrect, the provisioning has failed and Close is displayed on screen. By pressing it, you are back to

the main dashboard. Now the Wi-Fi credentials must be erased and start the procedure from the beginning. For more information on how to erase a Wi-Fi network click

on Erase registered Wi-Fi network from gateway.

Gateway’s connection to the Wi-Fi is executed only once and there will be no need to repeat this procedure, except only if you want to change the Wi-Fi network on your

gateway. *In case of not being able to connect your gateway with the above procedure, please go to paragraph Alternative way of registering a Wi-Fi- network.

CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO THE CORTEX PLATFORM

CONNECT IoTW GATEWAY TO Wi-Fi –PROVISIONING

1. To the bottom of the main dashboard page, click on Setup my network. Gateway’s LED starts blinking now 1 time/second, which indicates that the gateway is waiting to

connect to your Cortex account.

2. To Setup my network page and Claim my gateway window,register your Gateway SN as noted on your gateway’s label.

3. Click on Connect.

4. The successful registration is displayed on the down side of the screen and your gateway is listed in the gateway list.

If the registration has failed, the message Gateway not found is displayed.

5. To the bottom of the page, click on Back to main and you are back to the main dashboard.

Multiple gateways can connect to an account using this procedure and check them all from the gateway’s list.

Screenshot from PC

Having successfully registered the Wi-Fi network to the IoTW gateway, you are back to the main dashboard. Automatically the connected device must appear on the dashboard.

If not, toggle the power supply of both device and gateway and wait for the device to appear automatically. By pressing on the device, you enter to the device dashboard where

you have full control and data logging on progress. The temperatures are updated every few seconds, while the data logging is executed based on the gateway’s settings.

Follow this link to edit data logging interval Adjust data logging interval.

1.To the bottom of the main dashboard page, click on Setup my network.

2.Find Gateway list and press next to the gateway you want to adjust the data logging

interval and then click on Edit. A new window opens, where you can adjust the interval in

GATEWAY PLACEMENT AND Wi-Fi SIGNAL

1. To the bottom of the main dashboard page, click on Setup my network.

2. Find Gateway list and the Signal column, which indicates the signal strength coming from gateway.

Signal has the following 4 levels: Excellent, Good, Low, Very low.

When the indication “---“ is displayed, there is no signal available.

It is recommended to place the gateway in a place where Good signal is displayed.

Screenshot from PC

Notifications for the device alarms and lost connection to the platform are sent automatically to the email you have registered during sign up, as well as to the

mobile application. No notifications are sent once the device alarms are restored.

To check the notifications, you received, to the bottom of the main dashboard page, click on Alarms. A table with all the alarms of the account appears. Each

line is an alarm and the following are displayed: created date/time of the alarm, end data/time of the alarm, device address, device name, type of the alarm and its status, if it

is Active or Cleared.

Search for the technical datasheet of the relevant device for more information regarding the programming of its parameters.

The device is able to communicate with the IoTW gateway, only if the following two parameters are set as follows: Add = 1 and bAU = 3.

The sensors connect to plug-in terminal blocks of the gateway. The gateway can monitor and control at the same time a KIOUR device and a temperature sensor NTC (gateway

model IoTWN) or a humidity/temperature sensor SHT31-DIS (model IoTWH). Through Cortex platform you can adjust the parameters of NTC and SHT31-DIS for high/low

temperature and high/low humidity among with time delays.

If you are unable to connect your gateway as described on paragraph Connect IoTW gateway to Wi-Fi –Provisioning, check the following:

1. Press and hold the gateway’s button while you power it up. Gateway’s LED starts blinking fast and it has entered setup mode. Release the button

2. Press again the button and hold it more than for 20 seconds. Release the button. LED starts blinking 3 times/second: the gateway is waiting to connect to the local Wi-Fi

network using an alternative way.

3. Find on gateway’s label the BLE Name and PIN.

4. Download the application ESP BLE Provisioning and enable access to anything needed. Click on Provision new device. From

the list find your gateway and register its PIN.

5. A list with the available networks appears and we register the desired Wi-Fi network. The connection between the gateway and the

local Wi-Fi network is complete.

6. Gateway’s LED starts blinking now 1 time/second, which indicates that the gateway is waiting to connect to your Cortex account. Continue with steps as described on

paragraph Connect IoTW gateway to Cortex in order to connect your gateway to your account.
