Enhance the solution

Activate your
ALSO account

Once your reseller partner orders the Ground subscription within the ALSO IoT Platform, you’ll get an email to activate the account
Click on Complete your account to activate a new Ground and start using the service
This account is needed to activate all the Workplace+ devices and collect the data

Unboxing
and checking

Open the box and ensure that everything you ordered is inside
Check the activation codes on the back of all sensor devices
Write down the activation codes as you might not be able to read them after installing the devices. You’ll need these codes for the device activation procedure

Install the
LoRa gateway

Screw the white flat antenna into the “WiFi” connector at the back of the gateway
Screw the black antenna into the “RF” connector at the back of the gateway
Insert the provided LAN cable into the “E-NET” port
Plug in the power adapter to the Gateway and to the power outlet
Check for the LED STATUS located on the front of the gateway. It will start blinking (green) within a few minutes (note that this may take up to 6-7 minutes)

Activate
all devices

Go to https://also.allthingstalk.com and log in
Enter your Ground and click on +NEW DEVICE
Type the “Activation code” provided and click FIND
Done! Your sensor device is added to the Ground
Repeat the process for the rest of your Workplace+ Devices

IMPORTANT: Write down the “activation codes” or activate devices in the Ground on the ALSO IoT Platform before physically installing them.

Install
all devices at desired locations

Insert the batteries in the device, put back the lid and the PIR sensor will blink red, then green after 1-2 seconds and finally in the orange color
Check that you receive the sensor data on your Ground (note that this can take up to 6-7 minutes)
Install the devices by positioning them in the desired area or under the desk
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for the rest of your Workplace+ Devices

Visualise &
Share the data

Now that you’ve connected the gateway to the LoRa network, configured all devices in your Ground and physically installed them, the user friendly data visualisation is a way to go
Therefore, create a first Pinboard, customise it to your needs and intelligently determine data patterns over time
You can also SHARE the Pinboard with other members you invite to your Ground or embed it to another web page

Enhance
the solution

Sensor Map: shows an actual position of Ground devices on a desired image. Upload the plan or a photo of your workspace and add a Pin for each device. Set a color for the important state changes and stay noitifed. Further, you can share the Sensor Map with others
Integrations: You can start to use data from your Ground more extensively in other applications using our APIs, Webhooks and other integration options

Place for the content once written

This section has no design because the content is not yet defined. Currently, it serves to show that the functionality of hiding the GET STARTED content and showing this content does work.
