Using Environmental Sensors (IoT Device)

By linking ugo with an environmental sensor, this function allows you to obtain environmental data such as temperature and humidity, air pressure, discomfort index, CO2, eTVOC, illuminance, vibration, and noise via wireless communication via ugo's Bluetooth, which could not be obtained by ugo alone.

Here we will introduce how to set up ugo to connect with environmental sensors.

What to prepare

• Obtain a USB-type environmental sensor "2JCIE-BU" provided by Omron Corporation.
• Note down the device-specific 10-digit "serial number" written on the sticker with the QR code included with the environmental sensor. (Example: ####MY####)
  (Note: The serial number is not written on the environmental sensor itself)

         

• Log in to the ugo Portal with your "Organization Admin" account.
• Update your ugo robot system version to [v2.1.37] or later.

Main Use Cases

• Execute a single command to obtain environmental sensor data and display it as a time series graph.
• Add "Get sensor data (Bluetooth)" as a task in a report in Flow, and record the results of the environmental sensor in the report details screen.

Setup Flow

1. Log in to ugo Portal as an "Organization Administrator" account.
2. Register the environmental sensor on the IoT device management screen.
   • For the model, select "OMRON Environmental Sensor 2JCIE (USB)".
   • For the identifier, enter the device-specific serial number of your environmental sensor.
   • For the name, use an easy-to-understand name of your choice. (Example: Entrance environmental sensor)
   • Set the installation building and floor as appropriate.
3. After registration, press the "Settings" button on the IoT Device Graph screen to go to the details screen and set the connection profile to "Default profile."
   1. Click the "Settings" button in the top right of the IoT Device Graph screen.
   2. IoT device details screen
   3. Connection Profile Choices
4. Add two commands to the command list: "Reload IoT device definition" and "Get sensor data (Bluetooth)".
   1. [System] > [Reload IoT device definition] command added
      • Command picker on the command list settings screen
   2. Add the command [Record] > [Get Sensor Data (Bluetooth)] and select the device you want to set from the "Device to get data from" parameter pull-down menu.
5. Place the powered-on environmental sensor in an available USB port on ugo or nearby.
6. On the ugo control screen, run **"Get sensor data (Bluetooth)** to connect to the environmental sensor.
   • ugo control screen command list
7. Once you have successfully connected to the device and completed the initial setup, a pop-up dialog box with only the device name will appear, as shown below.
   • A popup dialog in the center of the ugo control screen displays the responses from the environmental sensors.
8. Reconnect the USB power supply to the environmental sensor and restart the device itself. (If the settings are correct, the LED will light up when the environmental sensor starts up or connects via Bluetooth.)
9. On the IoT device details screen, change the connection profile to "Sensor Data Acquisition Profile."
10. On the ugo control screen, execute the "Reload IoT device definition" command.
11. Next, execute the "Get environmental sensor data" command.=
12. If you can connect to the environmental sensor and the environmental data is displayed in a pop-up, the setup is complete.
