    • For more information check the manual here
  • Autosen AC004 – Capacitive sensor. Capacitive sensor that sends a signal whenever detects some object near this upper side (green). Connected to a Digital Input of the Unipi (DI2)
  • Magnetic Door Contact: Mounted on the enclosure, detects when the lid is opened or closed. Connect to a Digital Input of the Unipi (DI1)
  • LED: Mounted on the top side of the enclosure, is controlled by a Digital Output of the Unipi (DO2). The default behavior is that the LED is turned on whenever the lid is opened.
  • 1-Wire Temperature sensor DS18B20

    • Measures Temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F)

    • ±0.5°C Accuracy from -10°C to +85°C

Basic Setup procedure

To setup the IoT kit follow this steps:

1. Connect the provided PC Power cable to the AC Power Input on the top side.

   Warning
   Make sure to connect to the AC Power Input and NOT to the AC Power Output socket (see previous pictures)

   
   

2. Connect the Ethernet Network Cable to the Ethernet Input port on the top side.

   Info
   The Ethernet port is configured to work with DHCP. If no DHCP is enabled the default IP will be 192.168.100.1. The IoT Gateway also has a wlan interface. To learn how to configured it go to the WLAN Configuration section in this document.

   
   

3. Switch ON the Main Breaker
4. Switch ON the Sensors Breaker

After this the IoT kit will be already working. To start using the kit:

1. Retrieve your password → https://cloud.azeti.net/#/password-reset, an e-mail will be sent to you with your password. Use the same email that was used on the store purchase. Further accounts can be created once logged in to the cloud.
2. Login to the IoT Cloud → https://cloud.azeti.net/

Other Information

Accessing the console

The IoT Gateway runs as OS Debian Linux. To access the console follow one of the following methods

• SSH to the device IP. If no DHCP is present in the network the IP will be 192.168.100.1. 
• Connect a screen to the right side HDMI port, and a keyboard to one of the USB ports. 

In both cases the user is always pi, and the password will be provided to you with the welcome letter.

WLAN Configuration

To configure the wireless LAN of the IoT gateway follow this steps:

1. Access the console

2. Edit the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

   Code Block
   sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

   
   

3. Write the SSID and password of the WLAN network

   Code Block
   language java
   country=GB ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="your_ssid" psk="your_password" }

   
   

4. Restart the wlan interface

   Code Block
   pi@UniPi-Test:~ $ sudo ifdown wlan0 pi@UniPi-Test:~ $ sudo ifup wlan0

   
   

5. Check that the wlan0 interface has an IP (might take a few seconds)

   Code Block
   language bash
   pi@UniPi-Test:~ $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:68:ea:9d inet addr:192.168.117.62 Bcast:192.168.127.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 inet6 addr: fe80::ef65:2a87:36ef:35cb/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3071531 errors:0 dropped:64041 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7204 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:374083309 (356.7 MiB) TX bytes:653890 (638.5 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:55627825 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:55627825 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 RX bytes:4293479302 (3.9 GiB) TX bytes:4293479302 (3.9 GiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:3d:bf:c8 inet addr:192.168.119.240 Bcast:192.168.127.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 inet6 addr: fe80::c012:46d:bd81:c748/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:990 errors:0 dropped:613 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:137 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:218182 (213.0 KiB) TX bytes:26373 (25.7 KiB)

   
   

6. Check that the Internet connection is working

   Code Block

   pi@UniPi-Test:~ $ ping google.com PING google.com (216.58.214.110) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from fra16s05-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.214.110): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=11.1 ms 64 bytes from fra16s05-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.214.110): icmp_seq=2 ttl=57 time=11.1 ms 64 bytes from fra16s05-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.214.110): icmp_seq=3 ttl=57 time=11.0 ms ^C --- google.com ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.088/11.103/11.118/0.122 ms
