1 Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Powersoft DEVA.
DEVA is a lightweight and compact multifunctional
device that implements bi-directional wireless
communication, audio messaging and video
capturing.
Once congured, DEVA is a self-sufcient device
equipped with sensors – microphone, motion
detector, temperature and pressure probes – and
accessories (e.g. LED light, camera, etc.) enabling it
to interact with the environment through the built
in loudspeaker and audio/video capturing features.
DEVA has been designed to be independent from
any existing infrastructure, without the need for
wiring and with virtually zero installation costs. DEVA
uses green technologies: its highly efcient design
limits power consumption allowing uninterrupted
use powered by the internal rechargeable battery;
a latest generation solar panel can quickly recharge
the battery even in low light conditions.
DEVA's enclosure is weather-resistant IP65,
an ideal solution for outdoor applications from
background music to paging, in combination with
video and/or audio surveillance.
DEVA provides bi-directional messaging and
ambient control; DEVA allows conguration and
monitoring via WiFi as well as wired Ethernet
connections to tablets, PC and mobile phones.
Remote control is available via GSM/GPRS/UMTS.
DEVA is a self-sufcient fully congurable
networking unit that can be installed anywhere!

8 DEVA at a glance
DEVA is capable to perform tasks and react
to certain events on the basis of a scheduled
program and an event list. The interaction with the
environment triggers a set of actions spanning from
playing a audio le to streaming video. In systems
with more than one DEVA, scheduled actions – such
as playing audio les – can be synchronized to the
Global Positioning System clock.
The DEVA System Manager provides full
management of DEVA: it is a web-app installed into
the Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD.
The DEVA System Manager allows you to
perform on-y actions, such as:
fLight – switch the light on or off.
fStream live announcements – from the
PDD built in microphone or through the
optional radio microphone.
fStream a web radio.
fPlay message – play a le in the default
audio les list.
fPlay from Audio library – play a le from
the audio library.
fPlay playlist – execute a playlist of audio
les.
fPlay an FM radio.
fTake Photo – shoot a single ambient photo
or choose to shoot a number of pictures
delayed by the selected time.
fStream video – by means of the built in
camera.
Refer to Chapter “22 Actions and Players” for
detailed info.
Almost any of the previous actions can be
scheduled in order to be executedat a given time.
Furthermore, DEVA can interact with the
environment. A set of triggering events can be
exploited to activate some actions.
faction triggers (events):
fMotion detection
fBattery charge
fNetwork connectivity
fMechanical shocks
Refer to Chapter “23 Commanders and Triggers”
for detailed info.
When triggering events take place, DEVA can
execute one or more of the following actions:
fLight – switch the light on or off.
fStream a web radio.
fPlay message – play a le in the default
audio les list.
fPlay from Audio library – play a le from
the audio library.
fPlay playlist – execute a playlist of audio
les.
