The OneVue Wired Device Configurator (OWDC) Android™ app provides the experience of adding a new Primex network device to OneVue and updating a device's primary settings on a mobile platform. Network devices include OneVue Sense Sensors, OneVue Sync Bridge, PoE Digital Clocks/Timers, and the OneVue Notify Bell Controller.

Once you download the app from the Google Play™ store (it’s free!), you connect a Primex network device to your Android device and the app guides you through the entire process. It's a simple, easy process that provides onsite configuration.

Watch the short training video. NOTE: This video does not include the cables required for PoE Digital Clocks/Timers, refer to details below.

What can you do with the app?

  • Add a new device to OneVue

    From the app, you assign a network and provide a device's primary settings. When the device connects to the facility's network and checks-in to OneVue, its unique 12-character ID is added to OneVue -resulting in plug-n-play experience.

  • View or update a device's primary settings

    For a device that's already in OneVue, you can view or update its primary settings. During a device's next check-in, setting updates made in the app are then sent to OneVue.

  • Migrate a device to a new network

    Have a device that cannot connect to the network? You can view or change its assigned Network and then verify its network connection locally at the device.

Note

OWDC cannot be used with devices that require EAP-TLS certificates for network authentication or any type of network certificate. Devices requiring this type of authentication must be configured through Device Preconfiguration, and when the devices arrive onsite the certificates are required to be uploaded to the devices using the Primex Device Configuration software. The devices will then be able to successfully authenticate to the facility's network and check-in to OneVue.
