Smart Monitoring

MAXIMUS View is a standalone IoT system that captures relevant data in a controlled environment, to monitor environmental conditions, set alert thresholds and extract historical data using affordable wireless devices and a gateway.

Battery-powered wireless devices, such as temperature, CO₂ or humidity sensors and water meters, are connected to the MAXIMUS View gateway which transmits data to the mobile application via Ethernet/Internet.

MAXIMUS View is designed to run on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet that uses an Android or iOS operating system.

The radiofrequency communication protocol used between the devices and the gateway is based on the LoRaWAN technology which is designed for outdoor and remote monitoring applications. LoRaWAN wirelessly connects devices to the Internet and offers long-range communication and low power consumption.

±300 meters (±1000 ft) in urban areas and ±800 meters (±2600 ft) in a rural areas, all depending on the environment.

For now, MAXIMUS View supports up to two gateways. In the future, new options will allow to add more gateways.

1. Plug the power cord (110V AC/5V DC) into the gateway and into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect the gateway to the Internet using an Ethernet cable.
3. The LED on the cover will turn white, meaning the start-up process is in progress. The LED will then turn green, indicating that everything is ok. You are now ready to configure your gateway. Note that it may take up to 5 minutes before the LED turns green.

Note: LTE will be available in the near future for greater flexibility and portability.

1. If you get the message Gateway cannot be detected, make sure your gateway is powered up and connected to the Internet. The LED located on the gateway cover should be green. If it is not, refer to the DEL color code and try to fix the problem.
2. Then try scanning the gateway's QR code with your phone again.

1. Press on the device button until the LED flashes, then release.
2. When the LED blinks in blue, it means the tramsission has started.

1. Once you have added your device, press the Activate button on the application to start the pairing process.
2. Hold your phone still over the NFC logo on the device.
3. A progression meter will show you when the pairing is complete.

• Note: If you have problem pairing your device, make sure the NFC feature is enabled on your phone.

1. Once your gateway is powered up and connected to the Internet (the LED located on the gateway cover should be green), scan the QR code located on the gateway.
2. When the gateway is detected, give it a name and complete the 5-step configuration process.

At the moment, you can install a maximum of 2 gateways. If you already have a gateway and want to add another one, follow these steps:

1. Press on the hamburger menu icon in the top right corner and select Gateway Settings.
2. Scroll down the Gateway Settings page and press on the + Add gateway button.
3. Proceed with the configuration process.

The MAXIMUS View application will send you an alert when the environmental values you have defined are outside the Alarm thresholds you have set. On the Set Notification Preferences page, you can choose to be notified on your phone or by email. You can also choose to receive marketing content about new features or new products.

Note: The application does not send notifications when values are outside the Warning thresholds. You can however see the Warning-type notifications in the Alert Center.

The MAXIMUS View application validates the values received from the devices against the set Alarm thresholds every 30 seconds. This means that the maximum delay before receiving a alert notification is 29 seconds.

Note: The application does not send notifications when values are outside the Warning thresholds. You can however see the Warning-type notifications in the Alert Center.

Notifications can sometimes end up in your junk folder. Please verify if your notifications were sent in that folder.

The LED indicates the status of the gateway.

A zone is a delimited area in which you install one or more devices. Since alarm thresholds are defined at the zone level, the thresholds you define will apply to all the devices installed in your zone.

For example, you may create a zone called Warehouse 1 in which you install three temperature/humidity sensors. The temperature and humidity thresholds you defined for this zone would then apply to all these devices.

For now, each gateway supports up to 20 devices. In the future, more options will allow to add more devices.

1. From the Home page, press on the zone in which you want to add a device.
2. Press the + Add device button at the bottom of the page.
3. Scan the QR code of the device.
4. Enter the device name and select the transmission interval.
5. Press the Save and continue button to save your data.

If your device is greyed out, it either means that it has not yet been paired with the gateway or it is offline because it has not received any data for over 2 hours.

If you want to change the location of a device and reassign it to a different zone, follow these steps:

1. From the Home page, select the device that you want to reassign to a different zone.
2. On the device page, press on the gear wheel icon.
3. In the Change zone assignment section, the zone to which the device is currently assigned is checked. Simply check the new zone to which you want to reassign the device.
4. Press the Save button to save your data.

It all depends on your needs actually. If you need an important environmental condition value to be read more often, a more rapid transmission interval (for example, 10 or 15 minutes) is what you would choose. Conversely, a value that does not need to be read often would require a less rapid transmission interval (for example, 30 or 60 minutes).

Keep in mind that a slower data transmission interval saves more battery power.

To change a device's data transmission interval:

1. From the Home page, select the device whose data transmission interval you want to change.
2. On the device page, press on the gear wheel icon.
3. In the Data transmission interval drop-down list, select the desired transmission interval.
4. Press the Save button to save your data.

Depending on the chosen data transmission interval, the battery lifetime should be between 2 and 10 years.

1. Display the zone for which you want to set/edit the alert thresholds.
2. Press the Set alert thresholds button.
3. For each type of data that is monitored, set the low and high limits outside of which an alarm or warning will be triggered.

Here is what each icon represents:

From the Home page, you have two options:

1. Press on the You have x alert(s) tile or on the bell icon located in the bottom right corner of the page.
2. The Alert Center page displays two tabs: Pending alerts and Alert History.
3. The Pending alerts tab shows the alarms that still currently active and the Alert History tab shows a 7-day history of the alarms. Note that the warnings do not appear in the history.
