Getting started with Neuron

Getting Started

This guide will show you all the necessary steps to getting started with Neuron Sensors.

Creating a User

Signing up

The first step to Neuron Sensors is creating your own personal user account.
Start by going to web-app at https://www.neuronsensors.app/
Here you are greeted by a login menu.
Select "Create new user".

This will take you to a sign up form where you add your email and password.

Click "Create" to finish.
After creating your user account, you will shortly receive an e-mail to verify your account.

Signing in

When your account is verified, you are ready to log in!
Go back to the front page and fill in your credentials and click "Login".
This will take you to your dashboard where all sensors and systems are maintained.

User Settings

The user menu can be found by clicking on your avatar picture.
From there you can find various options, most notably the user settings and pending invites

Creating a System

You are now ready to start creating systems and adding sensors!
A system is a group of sensors and gateways that belong together, like a factory department or an address. Create a new system by selecting "Add new system"

Give the system a name, and fill in information in "invoice address".
Click "Save" to finish.

If you need more detailed information, please read this article about creating a system.

Add Gateway and Sensors

Add Gateway

You are now ready to register your gateway into your newly created system!
Select the "Add" button inside your system and a menu will appear where you can select "Add Gateway".

Fill in the gateway serial number by either scanning the QR-code or by manually entering it into the field. Optionally give the gateway an alias and a suitable description.

Select the "Save" button and you will be redirected back to the dashboard with your newly registered gateway.

Add Sensors

Repeat the steps as explained in adding a gateway, but instead choose "Add sensor" in the menu.
Fill in the sensor ID by either scanning the QR-code or by manually entering it into the field. Optionally give the sensor an alias, a suitable description and a image
You can also add some tags on the sensor as explained in this article: Tags. By giving the sensor a personal tag, it gets ready to use in a object view.

Click on "Add sensor" button and you will be taken to the next page where you can either add another sensor or upload the already registered sensor to your system.

You will now be redirected back to the dashboard and the new sensor will appear as a tile next to the gateway.
Newly added sensors need to be verified in the cloud before they are fully functional. This usually happens instantaneously or within a few minutes.

Create sensor group

It may be appropriate to create different groups in the system to sort sensors. Start by pressing "Add" and then "Add group".

The groups are sorted by tag. Give the group a tag/name.

There are two ways to move sensors into a group. 1) Give each sensor the same tag as the group name. 2) press the settings icon and further "Edit devices". It is then possible to drag sensors and gateways into the desired group. Finish by pressing "Save".

The sensors are now in your group. A sensor can be added to several groups by adding different group tags.

Rule

To receiving notifications when measured values are outside bound, it is important to make rules. Navigate to "Rules".

Find the sensor you want a rule for, and select the "+ Add rule"-button.

Choose the measurement unit, the logical operator and the value limit for the custom rule. You also have more options under "Advanced settings". More information: New rule

Click "Save" to finish.

Congratulations! You are now ready to take advantage of this awesome Neuron sensor platform!
