Supported hardware and firmware
Cloud Notify via the IXrouter's Digital Input (DI) is supported on the IXrouter3 in firmware 3.10 and up. Please upgrade your firmware if you are running an older version.Activate Cloud Notify
Please first activate Cloud Notify (or start the 30 day free trial) if you haven't already.The first step in Cloud Notify is setting up a data source. This is done by selecting a communication protocol and defining the variables. This article shows you how to do this for communication via a digital signal, using the IXrouter's Digital Input (DI). View the installation manual for wiring information.
- Select a communication protocol
- Add variable
- Test variables
- Manage variables (export, duplicate, remove)
Select a communication protocol
You first have to select a "communication protocol" over which you want to receive your data, which is the IXrouter's own Digital Input in this case.
- Go to [Devices] in the main menu
, select the concerning device
, open its [Services] tab
, and press [Add service]
.
- Name the target "IXrouter", leave the IP address empty, and press [Next].
- Select your service type: [Data source]
.
- Select the communication protocol "SMTP / GPIO". Press [Add].
Add variables
Once you've added a Data Source and selected a communication protocol, you can add the IXrouter's Digital Input as variable. This is done in the configurator tool, specifically designed to quickly add, duplicate, import, export, and remove variables.
- Go to [Devices] in the main menu
, select the concerning device
, open its [Services] tab
, and edit 
the target's services
.
- Select [Data source]and press [Open configurator].
- To add a variable press [Add variable]and then [Add new variable].
- Enter the variable name "Digital input", data type "Boolean", communication protocol "GPIO", and press [Add].
Temporary disconnect
After this next step, the config push, the device will temporarily disconnect to reconfigure its network settings and will automatically reconnect. This may take a minute.- Finally, press [Push changes]
in the config tab to complete the setup.
Next step
Test variables
The test utility is used to check if all the added variables are set correctly. It shows the status of every variable and displays the variables' latest values if everything is configured correctly. If not, it'll show an error message.
Required firmware version
Support for the test utility was added on the IXrouter2 in firmware 2.11, and on the IXrouter3 in firmware 3.7. Consider upgrading your firmware if you are running an older version.- In the configurator press [Run test]
.
A connection will now be set up to stream the data directly to your computer, using:
| Port | Transport protocol | Application protocol |
|---|---|---|
| 443 | TCP | WebSocket |
When the connection is set up and all variables are set correctly, it should look like this:
Unexpected result?
If the test utility shows unexpected values, please check if the addresses and data types of all variables are entered correctly.
If you get no data at all, please also check that the above listed port and protocols are not being blocked by your computer's or company's firewall.Next step
Now that you've tested the variables, you can view our "Set up alarms" guide to start adding alarms.Manage variables
You can view all defined variables in a list view 
or table view 
. Multiple variables can be selected by pressing the 
icon on the left, or you can select all by pressing [∙∙∙]. These can then be removed 
, duplicated 
, or exported to a CSV file 
.
