1. Presentation This box is a gateway between the EnOcean world and the IP world. The IP address is allocated by DHCP. EnOcean is an ISO international communication protocol dedicated to wireless and battery less sensors and actuators, for low-energy buildings.
To access to this page: • For Ethernet connection: Connect the box to the LAN of the building. It is then possible to connect with a PC, or by using a Wi-Fi router: a tablet or a smart phone. The IP address of the box is provided by the local network (by DHCP). Find this address into the network to access the setting page with a browser.
4. Pairing In the “EnOcean setting” frame, activate the “Pairing” button. The Gateway will start listening pairing EnOcean switch telegrams. Launch the pairing telegram of an EnOcean sensor or switch. Upon receipt, the identification number (ID) of the sensor is displayed. If the sensor transmits its profile number (EEP), it also appears.

Click on " Valid " to record the pairing. The button ‘Paired” list the paired devices. It is essential to enter an alias for each device because an ID is not understandable to describe a device in the cloud. Don’t forget to specify its location (eg bed room, bathroom, floor #..) And function (eg light switch, blind switch, T°...

Current alias (before modification) Current EEP (before modification) It is possible to modify the alias (11 characters maximum without spaces) and the EEP Choose a new alias and/or EEP When “Valid” is clicked, you will be back to the general setting window. If you click again on “Paired”, the published devices will appear with their modifications.
Modified device The button “Close” closes the under way devices window. 5. Cloud Services You must first open an account (free of charge) on www.xively.com The tutorial is here: https://xively.com/dev/tutorials/xively_develop/ Once the account is open you can indicate the location, a feed is created automatically, note carefully the ID and API key.
As Xively is free of charge you will be limited to one account per email address. On the configuration page of the gateway, simply copy the feed ID and API key to establish communication with Xively. Feed ID Created device on Xively for data logging API key to use to send data...

In this case, data are lost, but you can automatically create the necessary field on Xively. Click on “Errors” to get the list of errors encountered. You just have to click on “Create DataStream” to create the correct field on Xively. The ID displayed in the error message is not used for the Xively’s field name.
Example of automatically created field: The frame “Cloud Services” keeps track of the correct transmission of data in the cloud. The gateway stores the data then transmit them to the database and in the cloud when the buffer reaches 80% of its capacity (can takes few minutes). 7.
Products In this above case the field will contain: /scripts/MyPhpFile.php 9. How to Assign a Static IP Address for your EnOcean gateway If you have a network with several computers and devices, it’s a good idea to assign each of them a specific address.
