The ayatecweb-based interface is the primary tool for
setting up and debugging the unispa devices during installation.
To access the device's telemetry and control it regularly, you may want to use the HTTP API and especially the MQTT API,
which are designed for this purpose.
The unispa web interface
The unispaweb-based interface offers six main menu options:
Process: This menu allows users to define the exact behavior of the unispa program.
Peripheral: This menu provides the broad overview of the module's hardware configuration and allows users to perform selected minor adjustments like sensor calibration.
Device: This menu displays basic device information and lets users set up the basic device parameters and network security.
Wireless: This menu lets you set up the wireless connection to your Wi-Fi access point and your preferred MQTT broker.
System: This menu contains selected information about the device's operation and the Backup feature.
Access
The interface can be accessed from three different sources, each with certain advantages and downsides:
A complete control interface embedded within the downloaded.ZIP archive. All communication takes place entirely within the local network, thus no internet connection is required at any point (assuming an activated device).
A complete* control interface hosted on our website. Once downloaded to your device, all subsequent network communication occurs exclusively within your local network. No data is exchanged with ayatec or any other server.
*Requires listing of relevant devices' local IP addresses in the Insecure origins treated as secure section of the chrome://flags/ (or equivalent) due to the CORS policy limitations.
To access a specific device via a browser without manually entering the IP address and pressing Connect,
you can append ?connect=[IP] to the URL address.
For example, if you want to immediately connect to the device at 10.0.0.72, you can enter .../index.htm?connect=10.0.0.72 in your browser.
This feature is particularly useful for setting up desktop or browser shortcuts.
