Programming

note During configuration, the CloudHub must be turned on because all configuration parameters, including the name and description, are transferred and stored in the device.

Description of the configuration process

The programming process for both the hub and the sensor consists of two main stages:

Making changes on the server side: Selecting the device name, description, location, alarm ranges, and other parameters, and saving them on the server;
Sending and storing parameters in the CloudHubub: Once the concentrator communicates with the server, the parameters are saved on the device.

tip The Node device does not store any configuration parameters. All sensor operating settings are saved in the CloudHub concentrator with which the sensors are paired.

The following section of this chapter will provide a detailed description of the second stage of device configuration, which is programming the concentrator.

Saving Configuration to the CloudHub

After clicking the SAVE button in the configuration form for concentrators and sensors, a Configuration button will appear at the top of the window, indicating that changes have been made to the system settings and need to be sent and saved on the devices.

To send the configuration to the CloudHub concentrator, follow these steps:

Click the Configuration button visible at the top of the application.
Then click the Send Configuration button.

The start of the configuration process will be confirmed by a message that appears at the bottom of the page. To close it, click X.

The system will wait for the concentrator to contact the portal. To save battery, the concentrator goes to sleep between data transmission periods. The concentrator checks in with the portal at intervals defined by the Data Transfer Frequency parameter.

tip If you want to expedite the programming process, press and hold the button on the concentrator for more than 4 seconds. This will 'wake up' the concentrator and prompt it to communicate with the portal. For more information, refer to the section CloudHub User Guide -> Waking Up the Hub.

The waiting state for contact with the device is signaled by the flashing of the gear icon on the programming button.

Once the CloudHub connects to the portal, the new configuration is sent and saved to the device.

The programming process is indicated by the rotation of the gear icon on the programming button.

Confirmation that programming is complete

Once the hub programming process is complete, an appropriate message will be displayed informing you about the result of the action.

Programming is not always successful. Sometimes, due to transmission errors, User interruption of the process, or other problems, programming may fail.

Then repeat the process by clicking the Configuration -> Send Configuration buttons again.

Interrupting the programming process

While waiting for the hub to connect to the platform, the programming process can be interrupted.

Click the Waiting button visible at the top of the application.
Then click the Stop Configuration button.

NOTE The hub programming process can no longer be interrupted during the phase of uploading and saving the configuration to the device. This can only be done during the waiting phase.

Multiple Hub Configuration

In installations of the CoolSens system that include multiple devices, it may happen that configuration changes affect several concentrators.

In such cases, after clicking the Configuration button, in addition to the button for configuring all devices simultaneously, a list of all concentrators to be reprogrammed will appear. If necessary, you can specify a particular concentrator to be configured.

Final remarks

If you encounter issues updating the concentrator settings, check the device’s network connection and battery status.
Regularly monitor the battery status to ensure the device operates continuously.
Contact technical support if you experience any difficulties during the programming process.
