6.0. The Response Portal
6.1 Introduction
OR offers a cloud-hosted analytics & lighting control application called the ResponsePortal. It allows users to remotely monitor, control, test & configure their lighting assets. All sensor nodes installed continuously collect & communicate data on occupancy, luminaire performance & ambient sensing, which is then transferred & stored securely in the cloud.
We previously shared that each sensor node communicates over IR for lighting control operations. In addition to IR communication, all nodes collects & reports granular data using Wirepas 2.4 GHz RF mesh.
The ResponsePortal is a web application remotely accessible through supported web browsers (recommended Chrome & Safari).
6.2. IoT Gateway
An OR gateway can collect information from sensor nodes and securely publish it to the portal. This device is known as an IoT gateway and uses
Wirepas to wirelessly collect and communicate with sensor nodes &
The existing building IP network to publish this collected information to the portal securely.
The IoT GW comes with a standard power supply and also supports PoE to power up the device and an ethernet connection to the local network.
Each gateway supports 150 devices in total.
