IoT box

To start using an IoT box:

  1. Make sure you have a {ref}valid IoT box subscription <iot/iot/iot-subscription> in addition to your Odoo subscription.
  2. Connect your {doc}devices <devices> to the IoT box.
  3. {ref}Connect the IoT box to the network <iot/iot_box/network>.
  4. {doc}Connect the IoT box to your Odoo database <connect>.

:::{note} Devices can also be connected after the IoT box is added to the network and/or connected to the database; however, a reboot of the IoT box might be required. :::

(iot-iot-box-network)=

Network connection

The IoT box can be connected to the network via {ref}Ethernet <iot/iot_box/network-ethernet> or {ref}Wi-Fi <iot/iot_box/network-wifi>.

:::{important} All devices must be connected to the same network: the IoT box, the device(s) connected to the IoT box, and the computer connected to Odoo. :::

(iot-iot-box-network-ethernet)=

Ethernet

Plug the Ethernet cable into the IoT box's Ethernet port and an available port on your router, then connect the IoT box to a power source.

(iot-iot-box-network-wifi)=

Wi-Fi

Make sure no Ethernet cable is connected to the IoT box and follow these steps:

  1. Connect the IoT box to a power source and wait a few minutes for it to power on.

  2. Access your computer's Wi-Fi settings and select the IoT box's network. The network name is in the format IoTBox-xxxxxxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is a unique identifier).

  3. Connect to the IoT box's Wi-Fi network and sign into it; your browser should automatically open and redirect to the {ref}IoT box's homepage <iot/iot-box/homepage>.

    :::{note} Depending on your operating system, the browser might not open and redirect to the IoT box's homepage. In this case, open your browser manually and navigate to http://10.11.12.1. :::

  4. On the IoT box's homepage, click {guilabel}Configure next to the {guilabel}Internet Status section.

  5. Wait a few minutes for the available networks to be scanned, select the network, enter the Wi-Fi's password, and click {guilabel}Connect.

:::{note} Once connected to the Wi-Fi network, the IoT box stops emitting its Wi-Fi signal, and the computer should automatically reconnect to its original network. If it does not, reconnect to it manually. :::

(iot-iot-box-homepage)=

IoT box homepage

To access the IoT box's homepage, open a web browser on the same network as the IoT box and navigate to the IoT box's IP address.

:scale: 75%

The IoT box's IP address can be retrieved by:

  • connecting the IoT box to an external monitor: the IP address is displayed on the screen.

    :alt: POS display with IoT box's IP address
:scale: 75%

  • connecting the IoT box to a printer: the IP address is automatically printed.

  • accessing the administrator interface of the router to which the IoT box is connected or using third-party software to scan the network.

Once the IoT box is {doc}connected to the Odoo database <connect>, its homepage can be accessed from Odoo by opening the IoT app and clicking the URL displayed on the IoT box's card.
