Gateway Details

Applicable for: All the Gateways

The Gateway Details page allows you to see relevant information about the IQnext Gateways that have been commissioned for your organization. 

What is a Gateway?

IQnext Gateway is the bridge between the IQnext cloud server and the sensor nodes network.

The gateway wirelessly receives energy, occupancy from the sensor nodes (luminaire integrated sensor, standalone sensor) and receives data from BMS devices through wired protocols and sends them to the IQnext cloud server. It also receives the control information (such as lighting rules, rule schedules, remote firmware upgrade, etc) from the IQnext cloud and manages the associated devices. It uses the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol for wireless communication and HTTP(S) for wired Ethernet.
