A ready solution is a complete IoT application built only from what every organisation already has: device profiles with telemetry keys, alarm rules and commands; sites and assets with relations; a dashboard with several pages; and flows. Nothing in a solution is a special feature. You can open every part, change it, copy it or delete it.
Use this section when you want to start from a working application instead of an empty board, or when you want to see how the building blocks of Hermetry fit together for a real use.
The five solutions
| Solution | For | Profiles | Board pages | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water site | Water tanks and pump stations in zones: levels against thresholds, pumps, phases, thermal relays, pressure, flow, manual pump commands, a process diagram | Water site · Tank, Water site · Pump station | Site · Regions · Tank levels · Alarms · Tank · Pump station · Diagram | Water site |
| Remote sites | Unmanned sites such as telecom shelters: temperature, humidity, door, water leak, smoke, sensor batteries, two UPS units, cameras | Remote sites · Site controller, Remote sites · UPS | Sites · Alarms · Site · History · UPS · Camera | Remote sites, UPS and cameras |
| Weather stations | Automatic weather stations: temperature, humidity, pressure, rain, wind | Weather stations · Station | Stations · Station | Weather stations |
| Sensor regions | Temperature and humidity sensors in regions (greenhouse, orchard, cold store) with per-sensor limits and a floor plan | Sensor regions · Sensor, Sensor regions · Weather station | Regions · Alarms · Region · Sensor · Weather | Sensor regions |
| Personnel tracking | People with wearable trackers: position, zone, falls, SOS, battery, route replay | Personnel tracking · Tracker | Trackers · Zones · Tracker | Personnel tracking |
The pages in the Board pages column that open from a row or a marker (for example Tank or Station) are hidden pages: they do not appear as tabs, and they need the device or site they show.
What a solution contains
| Part | Where you find it | Explained in |
|---|---|---|
| Device profiles with telemetry keys (labels, units, ranges), alarm rules and catalog commands | Device profiles | Device profiles, Alarm rules on device profiles |
Limits as server attributes on each device (for example lowLevelThreshold) | Each device’s Attributes tab | Attributes |
| A site with zones, regions or shelters, devices placed in them, typed relations | Sites & Assets | Asset hierarchy, Relations |
| A dashboard with several pages | Dashboards | Dashboards |
| Flows: alarm notifications, and for remote sites a UPS root flow with a watchdog | Automation, IoT host | Flow templates |
How you get a solution
There are two ways:
- Templates you apply yourself. Every solution’s board is offered as a board template when you create a dashboard, and its flows are offered as flow templates. Any member who may create dashboards (and flows) can use them, with their own profiles and devices.
- A full installation. The profiles, assets, sample devices, boards and flows are created for your organisation in one go. A full installation is not started from a page in the console: it is set up by the platform. Ask Hermetry support whether it is available for your organisation.
See Install a solution.
Before you start
- The solutions are part of the IoT add-on. See Plans and the IoT add-on.
- A solution expects certain telemetry keys (
level_cm,air_temp,zone…). Your devices probably send other names. Adapting a solution to your devices shows how to make them fit. - The alarm-notification flows tell the Admin role. A role is reached in the app, by push where it is set up, and in linked chat apps, not by e-mail or SMS. Add e-mail address or phone rows to the flow if you need those. See Notifications from rules and flows.
