Introduction

Overview​

IoT Hub aims to create different types of application scenarios for users using the concept of space. Users install devices according to scenario needs, the platform displays visualized data through dashboards, and achieves goals such as data analysis, real-time alerts, and energy consumption optimization through data monitoring.

Product Features​

  • Customizable user IoT data display dashboard
  • Visualized IoT data display and analysis module
  • IoT device monitoring rule trigger engine
  • MQTT device communication service

Usage Process​

  1. Device Access to Data Platform: After successful hardware network registration (refer to ChirpStack, Netmore, Kafka pre-configuration guides), register the device in the Data Platform (refer to device access documentation for access and registration). After the Data Platform device status becomes "Online", the IoT Hub will automatically synchronize it. You can view it in Device Management (If the device is not visible, you can manually click Device Synchronization). If still not found, possible reasons include the device not being successfully connected to the Data Platform, device status not online, device failing to push data normally, other access pre-configurations not taking effect, etc. Please check the Device Access Process or inspect the field device status.
  2. Create Workspace and Dashboard: Allows users to flexibly build and manage device dashboards and data reports according to actual needs.
  3. Data Analysis: Allows users to view data trends and raw records of devices within their permissions, and custom export data as needed.

Access Method and Prerequisites​

How to access​

Access the official URL provided by the platform administrator via a browser and log in directly with your account. Enter your project, and find "IoT Hub" in the application list on the project homepage.

Before You Start​

Permission Configuration​

To ensure normal access and feature usage, your account needs to be invited into the project and have permission to view the IoT Hub application. If not, please contact the project administrator, or refer to 【Invite Members to Project】/【Install and Configure Permissions】.

Prerequisite Configuration​

First, you need to confirm that your devices have been connected to the Data Platform. For detailed operations, please refer to 【Device Access Guide】. If devices require secondary calculation, you can refer to 【ETL Calculation】.

Note: You need to confirm that your device type is IoT. For specific details, please check the Device List.

Terminology Explanation​

Space: Provides users with a section for managing devices. Through the spatial organization of devices, users can have an intuitive and efficient IoT device management experience.

LoRaWAN Device: IoT terminals that use the LoRaWAN protocol to communicate with upper-layer applications (like the Neuron platform) over long distances with low power consumption and small data volumes, via LoRaWAN gateways and network servers.

Data Platform Device: Devices that establish a connection with the Data Platform through standard access processes (like LoRaWAN, MQTT, API, Bluetooth), and whose data can be received, parsed, and processed by the platform.

DevEUI: A 64-bit globally unique identifier used in LoRaWAN networks to uniquely identify a physical device. Platform device operations (query, control) are based on the DevEUI.

  1. If the field you want to edit is not in the current list, you can click "Add Field" and add it by entering the exact name of the field you wish to edit;

  2. Edit the field's icon;

  3. Edit the field's group: By creating groups, edit the generic level rules for device fields, and then apply these generic level rules to the entire group;

  4. Edit the field's generic level: Configure the level rules for the field. When a rule is triggered, the function cards within the dashboard will change color, as shown below:

  5. Edit the field's alias;

  6. Edit the field's unit;

  7. Edit field information or delete the field.
