Application

  1. Plug&play CycleCounters® are installed at critical windows and doors and set up using MyPortaNet App
  2. The sensors permanently monitor window or door usage and transmit the encrypted data via LoRaWAN® radio transmission to a pre-configured plug&play LoRaWAN® gateway within proximity
  3. All gateways listen for and receive sensor radio transmissions, and forward the encrypted data to the LORIOT LoRaWAN® Network Server.
  4. The received encrypted data is authenticated, and the network server routes the data via output API to MyPortaNetAPI
  5. Users can access CycleCounter® as well as additional data like damage reports in MyPortaNet Portal or App
