Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 3 Device Setup Let’s see how easy it is to add and configure Hi-Gate/Hi-Node in order to use them into the project. The setup process of Hi-Gate involves Adding Hi-Gate to dashboard, setup WiFi on HiGate and finally configure. Likewise for Hi-Node we will have to Add Hi-Node to dashboard and then configure. 3.1 Hi-Gate 3.1.1 Add Hi-Gate The first step is to power on Hi-Gate using Micro USB Cable.
PAGE 9
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 This configuration pop-up will allow user to set the configuration for Main Hub. Since we want to make Main Hub as a Gateway, we must choose USE AS A: GATEWAY, CONNECTION MODE: Wifi, PROTOCOL: ZigBee. Once it is done Click on SET button followed by OK. After pressing Set button, popup will appear on screen by saying Scheduled for Success. Just press Ok and proceed further.

Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Main Menu bar to Navigate Settings Click on Settings to Navigate Network Settings Click on Network Settings Click on Scan in order to scan available Network www.hiotron.com Rev. 3.
PAGE 11
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 Click on network SSID and Hit on Yes button Enter Password of network SSID and click on OK If everything goes well then you will find BLUE LED on Hi-Gate gets stable. This confirms Hi-Gate is now connected to Internet. The next step could be configure Gateway as a Node and run a small test to remotely control 2- output channels or monitor data from 2-analog input channel www.hiotron.
PAGE 12
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 3.1.3 Configure To run a quick test, we will have to configure Gateway as a Node. This can be done very easily. First let’s browse Device Manager and then click on Configure menu. As show in picture below: The popup will appear and we will have to select USE AS A: NODE. Since we want to run a test we will make Gateway as a Node. Then we must use this Gateway and create a Project.
PAGE 13
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 This will take us back to Project Manager and in the list now we can see our project “Test”. Let’s click on Setting option (Gear Icon). The new window will take us to project options. There by default protocol should be ZigBee. Then hit Next and proceed further. The next step is to customize project. This will allows us to setup two outputs and two input channels.
PAGE 14
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 In a customization options, we would have to enable Input and output channels. In the right side of dashboard we will find Mobile view. At this point just click on Finish. We can now ready to run a quick test with the help of project we built. Let’s find this project under Project View and then select a project in this case Test (G-21). www.hiotron.
PAGE 15
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 We will see dashboard which can allows us to control 2-Output Pins and Monitor 2-Analog Input channels. Note: Setup update interval to 1 Sec. This option can be found on upper right corner of project view section of user dashboard. We can also monitor same data and control pins from Mobile App. 3.1.4 Edit/Rename We can edit/rename gateway under dashboard at any point in time.
PAGE 16
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Here type new name into the field. And then click on Rename button. www.hiotron.com Rev. 3.
PAGE 17
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 3.2 Hi-Node 3.2.1 Add Hi-Node To add node we have to make sure that Hi-Gate is configured as a Gateway. In previous chapter we have seen how gateway could itself act as node. The remaining process required to follow some simple steps. To get start we have to browse Device Manager from dashboard. Then under the Registered Gateway List, find gateway to which we wish to add Hi-Node. Click on Add Node button.
PAGE 18
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 3.2.2 Edit/Rename/Delete We can edit Node settings at any point in time. To explore these options we will have to again browse Device Manager under which, need to expand Gateway. And click on Edit button. There we can find several parameters user may want to edit. As and when needed. .
PAGE 19
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 4 Build Project In this section, we will be creating a fresh new project. Since, we know how to add Hi-Gate and Hi-Node to hIOTron IOT Platform. We now can build simple project. Then on the top of that we will be going to explore advance features of hIOTron IOT platform. 4.1 Create Let’s click on Project Manager from the left pan of the dashboard. And click on Create Project. This will present new popup on the screen.
PAGE 20
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 Click Next and proceed further We will have to turn ON all INPUT and OUTPUT Channels. As soon as we add more and more input-output channels, we can see real-time customization in Mobile App view on dashboard. Let’s press Next. www.hiotron.
PAGE 21
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 At this step Click on Close and we are done. Next step is just control/monitor Hi-Gate and HiNode from hIOTron IOT Platform. Let’s test our Home Automtion Project which we built jut now. 4.3 Run on Real Hardware Now open a project, browse Project View in left pan and select your Project. This will take us to new screen where we can see real time data in our dashboard.

Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 5 Advance Features In this section we will explore advance customization features of hIOTron IOT Platform. 5.1 Configure each Sensor Pin In previous sections we have seen how easy it is to control INPUT and OUTPUT pins on HI-Gate or Hi-Node. Now to provide fine control, dashboard allows us to configure each sensor pin.
PAGE 23
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 Multiplying Factor: This value scales reading from particular channel. If we don’t keep multiplying factor then data from temperature sensor could be just an raw analog adc counts. But this information must be converted into oC and this can be done by adding multiplying factor. Say for example: In this case, when we will connect LM35 Temperature Sensor to A2 Channels. We will get temperature data in the form of ADC counts.
PAGE 24
Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 We can test condition when Temperature is greater than 30 oC. Then turn- ON the Pin O1 for 1 Minute. There are several Models available through which we can customize rule to one which suits to an application. We can even configure more than one model for single pin/channel. In the Models we can generate Action, Push Notification, Email, SMS Alert and Interval Action. 5.1.

Fully Modular & Enterprise IoT Development Kit-User Manual Rev. 3.0/28-11-2017 5.2 Switching Nodes We can add multiple Nodes under single Gateway or even multiple Gateways. Please refer, Section 3.2.1 to learn more about how to add Node and Section 3.1.1 for adding Gateway. If user want to switch Nodes from one Gateway to other it can be done with few simple steps.
