IOTExplorer — Zero-Configuration IoT Device Discovery for iOS & iPadOS Instantly discover and manage every IO-TEQ device on your network from your iPhone or iPad. IOTExplorer uses intelligent UDP broadcast scanning to find devices the moment they come online — no manual setup, no IP addresses to remember, no configuration files to maintain. Whether you're checking a few sensors in the field or managing an IoT fleet on the go, IOTExplorer gives you a mobile-first experience purpose-built for iOS and iPadOS. REAL-TIME DISCOVERY & MONITORING IOTExplorer continuously scans your local network, detecting devices as they appear, tracking IP changes, monitoring firmware versions, and reporting online/offline status in real time. Reachability is determined by subnet — so you always know which devices are on your network. TWO VIEW MODES • Grid — Card-based layout for quick visual scanning • List — Sortable, filterable list for fast device lookup BUILT-IN NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS No need to switch to another app. IOTExplorer includes tools right inside: • Ping with latency results • Port scanner for TCP connectivity (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, Modbus) • Reachability test for instant connectivity checks DEVICE MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION • Favorites for quick access to frequently used devices • Find Me to physically locate devices with visual/audio indicators • Temporary IP assignment for field configuration • Network configuration (IP, subnet, gateway, DHCP) for supported devices • Device history — chronological log of discovery, updates, disappearances, and network changes OPTIMIZED FOR IPAD On iPad, IOTExplorer uses a split-view layout: device list on the left, detail panel on the right. Multi-column grids and adaptive layouts make it easy to work with many devices on a larger screen. DEEP iOS INTEGRATION IOTExplorer is built with SwiftUI and feels right at home on your device: • Native tab navigation (Discover, Favorites, History) • Pull-to-refresh for manual discovery refresh • Search and filter by device type • System, Light, and Dark mode support • Local Network permission for discovery SUPPORTS 11 IO-TEQ DEVICE FAMILIES IOT-PCM, IOT-AT, SPX5-MODBUS, IOT-DI-600, IOT-DURO-1, IOT-eqOS, IOT-IPS-GTW, IOT-IPS-ANCHOR, IOT-BB, IOT-EIO, and IOT-IRIS — each with tailored actions and capabilities (Find Me, Temp IP, Web, Net Config where supported).
