Assets

The KentixONE App automatically creates all necessary asset templates and assets (CAC) that are accessible via the configured endpoints. The following asset templates are created:

  • KentixONE Alarm Manager (KAM): a central monitoring and control system that integrates and manages various security components such as burglar alarm systems, fire alarm systems, and access control systems in a building.

  • KentixONE Multi Sensor (KMS): a versatile sensor that can measure various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and vibrations to enable comprehensive monitoring and early detection of potential dangers in buildings.

  • KentixONE Access Manager (KXP): a system for access control that makes it possible to efficiently control and monitor access to buildings and rooms by managing permissions, schedules, and logs.

    • Doorlock (DL): an electronic door lock that is used in conjunction with the Kentix Access Manager to control access to rooms or buildings.

The following attributes are defined for the individual asset templates:

The KentixONE App offers a dashboard with all automatically created assets. This can be automatically created via the Eliona Frontend Copy Dashboard > KentixONE and then customized as desired.

Configuration

You can find more information on app configuration ↗ here.

The KentixONE App is configured by configuring one or more Kentix devices as endpoints. It is possible to operate the devices in satellite or management mode. In satellite mode, the devices are available via the alarm manager. Devices in management mode can be accessed directly.

Each endpoint requires the following data:

Name
Description

address

IP address or hostname of the KentixONE device.

apiKey

KentixONE API key.

enable

Flag to activate or deactivate the retrieval from this device.

refreshInterval

Interval in seconds for collecting data from the device.

requestTimeout

Timeout in seconds.

assetFilter

Filter for CAC with regular expressions for parameter values. The expressions in the inner lists are logically AND-linked and the lists themselves with a logical OR.

active

Is set to "true" by the app when it is running, and to "false" when the app is stopped.

projectIDs

List of project IDs for which assets are automatically created (CAC)

Endpoints can be created with this structure in Eliona under Apps > KentixONE > Setting. To do this, select the endpoint /configs with the method PUT.

{
  "address": "10.10.10.101",
  "apiKey": "your_api_key",
  "enable": true,
  "refreshInterval": 60,
  "requestTimeout": 120,
  "assetFilter": [[ {
    "parameter": "macAddress",
    "regex": "(70:82:0e:12:28:cc|70:56:06:12:.*)"
  }]],
  "projectIDs": ["99"]
}
