HubCloud, an IoT device management and environmental monitoring application from SigmaWit, works in conjunction with temperature and humidity sensor gateways to help you monitor the real-time status of critical environments such as cold chain, warehouses, and data centers anytime, anywhere. 【Core Functions】 Real-time Dashboard for Clear Overview: The homepage dashboard displays the total number of devices, alarm counts, and sensor trend curves, giving you a comprehensive overview in just three seconds. It supports data review from 3 days to 1 year. Precise Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Each sensor displays its current temperature, humidity, power consumption, and signal strength. Historical data is presented visually as line graphs, supporting 1-hour/6-hour/24-hour granularity switching. Maximum, minimum, and average values are automatically calculated. Intelligent Multi-level Alarms: Individual high and low thresholds can be set for temperature, humidity, and power consumption for each sensor, supporting three alarm levels: high, medium, and low. Dual notifications via App push and email are provided, supporting both "frequent alarm" and "boundary alarm" modes to ensure no anomalies are missed. Data Export and Reporting: Supports exporting raw data as CSV files by date and generating PDF data reports for easy archiving and further analysis. Team Collaboration Management: Create teams, add members, and assign different permissions (administrator/read-only). Multiple members can share devices, easily achieving enterprise-level device sharing and task allocation. One-Click QR Code Network Configuration: Gateway device configuration and binding can be completed via Bluetooth + WiFi. It supports three addition methods: QR code scanning, manual input of the serial number (SN), and automatic Bluetooth search. The configuration process is simple and smooth. Multi-Regional Deployment: Supports independent cloud environments in China and Europe. Data is stored locally for faster access. Secure and Reliable: Passwords are transmitted using RSA encryption, requests are dynamically signed to prevent replay attacks, and token authentication ensures account and data security.
