This manual provides comprehensive guidance for developers on integrating and utilizing the Aqua-Scope Monitor (AQS) device. It details connection methods, data access, and technical configurations.
Connecting the Aqua-Scope Monitor (AQS)
The Aqua-Scope Monitor can be connected locally or to the Aqua-Scope Cloud.
Local Internet Connection (Wi-Fi)
In factory default, the device acts as an open Wi-Fi access point with SSID 'Scope'. Connect your device to this network and access the configuration interface via a web browser at http://192.168.1.4
. Here, you can select your local Wi-Fi network and enter the WPA key.
For cloud connectivity, sign up for an Aqua-Scope account via the mobile apps or at io.aqua-scope.com.
Bluetooth Connection (Experimental)
The device operates as a Bluetooth UART Service. For a user-friendly experience, use a Web-BLE compatible browser to access https://io.aqua-scope.com/ble
. Alternatively, standard Bluetooth UART apps can be used for direct serial console access.
Accessing Device Data and Configuration
Once connected to your local network, the device's IP address may change. You can access its local web server using the new IP address.
- Home: View real-time sensor data.
- Config: Access and modify device configuration parameters.
- Net (JSON): Retrieve a list of detected Wi-Fi networks.
- Data (JSON): Obtain detailed sensor readings in JSON format.
For cloud access, data can also be reported to an MQTT server of your choice.
Developer Resources: Commands and Parameters
The manual details various uplink and downlink commands for device control and data retrieval, including hardware version reports, sensor data requests, and configuration settings. It also outlines numerous configuration parameters that govern the device's behavior, alarms, and communication protocols (Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN).
