Technical Overview

The cloud solution structure for ExoHome™:

  • Uses MQTT for communication with device.
  • Uses WebSockets for communication with mobile application.

Role Definition: There are three roles defined within the cloud solution.

  • Admin
  • This is the Site Admin role. This user has the responsibility to maintain and update the firmware images for OTA (over-the-air updates), customize their application's theme, and manage their product model profiles.
  • Owner
  • This is the primary user for a certain device. There can only be one owner for each device and only the owner can perform OTA updates and share devices to other users.
  • Guest
  • This is a guest user. E.g. a family member who got shared access to a device.

Logging into the Admin Site

Steps

  1. Open your Admin domain url in a browser. (Chrome and IE11 are recommended.)

    Note

    To make admin page login is less apparent to end-users, if users type in the domain url (e.g. https://<your-domain>.apps.exosite.io), they will be directed to the company URL. Make sure you access Admin Login with more specific URL such as https://<your-domain>.apps.exosite.io/#/login.

  2. Enter your admin username and password.

  3. After entering the login information, you should see the admin homepage.
