Gravio is an advanced automation lab-ware for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, primarily used in creating smart buildings. Following is a step-by-step guide on how to use the Gravio IoT platform:
-
Installation: First, you need to install Gravio software on your computer. It’s available for both Windows and macOS.
-
Create an Account: After installing, open the Gravio Hub and create an account to start using the services.
-
Connect IoT Devices: Gravio supports various IoT devices such as sensors, lights, and cameras. Connect these devices to your Gravio Hub.
Note: Check to ensure that previously-inputted sensor data is being displayed on your Gravio dashboard, indicating a successful connection.
-
Build Actions: Gravio offers an intuitive UI where you can link IoT devices and set up actions to be performed when certain triggers are met.
-
Create Triggers: Now you can begin creating triggers. Go to the triggers section, click on the + sign to add a new trigger. You can set actions like sending an email when a door sensor is activated.
-
Test Your Trigger: Once you have set up your trigger, it’s important to test it. Try setting off the trigger and verify if the system responds as you have set it up.
-
Understanding Log Data: Each sensor and action generates log data, and Gravio provides interfaces to understand and analyze this data in real time.
Remember, patience is key: it might take some time to fully grasp all the functionalities of Gravio. Once familiar with the fundamental workings, Gravio can greatly simplify IoT projects and help to efficiently create and manage smart buildings.
