Installation

The KentixONE app is installed via the App Store in Eliona.

Assets

The KentixONE App automatically creates all necessary asset templates and assets (CAC) that are accessible through 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 intrusion detection systems, fire detection 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 vibration to provide comprehensive monitoring and early detection of potential hazards in buildings.

• KentixONE Access Manager (KXP): An access control system that allows to efficiently control and monitor access to buildings and rooms through the management of authorizations, schedules and protocols.

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

The following attributes are defined for each asset template:

Name	Description	KAM	KMS	KXP	DL

Dashboards

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

Configuration

For a detailed guide to configuring apps, follow the manual.

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 host name of the KentixONE device.
apiKey	KentixONE-API-Key.
enable	Flag to enable or disable polling 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 logic AND, and the lists themselves are logic OR.
active	Set to true by the app when it is running, and set to false when the app is stopped.
projectIDs	List of project IDs for which assets are automatically created (CAC)

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