2. Get Started

To get started configuring the Edge One™ EnOcean Gateway, follow these steps:

1. Understand the requirements for your environment.
2. Create a project
3. Configure the EnOcean parameters required for the system operation.

Requirements

Here are the first few things you need to find out to configure the Edge One™ EnOcean gateway:

1. What is the physical environment and distances to EnOcean devices?

• If line of sight is unobstructed and distance is under 30 meters, you may not need repeaters.
• If line of sight is obstructed by walls and/or distance is more than 30 meters, you may need to plan on installing one or more repeaters. In most cases, no more than two repeaters are allowed between a gateway and an endpoint.

2. What is the type of EnOcean connection to be used on the device running the Edge One™ EnOcean gateway?

The hardware gateway used to configure the Edge One™ EnOcean module must have the electrical interface of the equipment you want to connect. That is, the hardware gateway may have an EnOcean USB dongle or a built-in EnOcean controller. If the gateway has a built-in EnOcean controller, it must be officially supported by CloudPlugs.

The gateways with built-in EnOcean controllers currently supported are:

1. The Pressac EnOcean gateway: Part No: PEG_868_E.

Creating the EnOcean Project

The following steps are required to connect EnOcean devices on the Edge One™ platform.

1. Login to the Edge One™ platform.
2. Select “Gateway” then Projects on the left panel navigation bar.

3. Click ( New) on the Projects title bar to create a new project.

4. Click on New on the EnOcean module row.

5. Configure your EnOcean devices.

The following section discusses how to configure your EnOcean devices.

Configuring an EnOcean Project

Configuring a EnOcean project requires a few simple steps:

1. Open or Create an EnOcean project as indicated above.
2. If it is a new Project continue to 3 below. If it is an existing Project:

• Press the Open button as shown below:

• Press the Configure button to edit the project configuration and set the desired parameters as described in the EnOcean configuration guide.

3. Configure your project following the instructions for the appropriate operation mode using the following link.

   While configuring a project, the navigation breadcrumbs on top of the window allow to navigate through the project configuration pages.

4. Configure the local or cloud IoT connections to move data and receive commands to/from other local systems or the cloud using the Edge One™ Message Router.
