What are the two types of firmware available for the SmartHub?
The SmartHubs differ in their data transmission frequency depending on the app version used. While the stationary version enables near-constant data transmission, the mobile version offers more flexible settings for less frequent data transmission, tailored to mobile applications.
Stationary App Version:
The stationary SmartHub is constantly online and uploads its data points to the Tec4Cloud immediately. Since it is permanently connected, the data transmission occurs immediately after collection.
This version is ideal for applications that require real-time monitoring, such as in warehouses or other fixed locations.
If a Wi-Fi network is available, it can be used as a secondary channel for data transmission. This redundancy helps ensure more reliable and stable data transfer. For a successful connection, the Wi-Fi network must meet the following requirements:- 4 GHz Wi-Fi required
- Security WPA/WPA2 PSK or open
- DHCP required
The SmartHub for stationary usage is designed to read out as many Beacons as possible up to 100 Beacons. Therefore it supports Wi-Fi and LTE to connect to the Tec4Cloud. Permanent power supply is required.
The display for stationary usage shows no Beacon serial numbers, only the successful connection to GSM/LTE and the measured temperature and humidity from the SmartHub itself. The data from the Beacons are visible in the Tec4Cloud.
Mobile App Version:
In the mobile version, data is transmitted, depending on the settings, at a maximum of every 15 minutes.
This version is particularly useful for use on the go, such as in trucks or during transportation, where continuous data transmission is not necessary, but regular updates are sufficient.
The mobile application for SmartHubs is specifically optimized for extended battery life. It exclusively uses LTE for connecting to the Tec4Cloud and can reliably manage up to 20 nearby Beacons.
The display of the mobile usage shows the serial number of Beacons along with their measured temperatures that were read out.
