Application:
Challenge:
Remotely deployed fire detection sensors in geographically challenging environments.
Solution:
XBee ZB wireless modules embedded into fire detection sensors relay information to a ConnectPort X4 gateway. The gateway transmits this information via cellular or satellite to the iDigi cloud where it can be accessed in real-time and alerts and notifications can be programmed for predefined events.
iDigi Gateway Development Kit
Development kit for ZigBee gateways and iDigi platformFeatures
- Jump-start application development with prepackaged kit
- Learn how to discover and configure devices in a ZigBee network
- Read temperature and light values from the ZigBee network via iDigi Device Cloud
- Provide IP connectivity (Ethernet or cellular/WiMAX) to the ZigBee network with a ConnectPort X4 gateway
- Google App Engine™ platform and supporting code provide a simple example of a business application working with iDigi
