OWDC app: Add PoE Digital Clock or Timer to OneVue

  • Updated
Follow

When an PoE clock order is placed with Primex, each clock must be configured to add them to your OneVue account.

If Device Preconfiguration was not selected at the time an order was placed, when the clocks arrive at your facility they are required to configured onsite with the OneVue Wired Device Configurator (OWDC) app. During OWDC configuration, a clock is added to your OneVue account.

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.

Configuration requirements

The following details what's required to configure a PoE Digital Clock or Timer with the OWDC app.

  • OWDC app installed on your Android mobile device

    Download the OWDC app or from the Google Play Store search for OneVue Wired Device Configurator.

  • Android mobile device requirements

    Android OS version 4.4 or later. Minimum 25% battery life remaining.

    Supports USB Host or USB OTG mode. To verify USB support, check with the Android device manufacturer.

  • App log in

    Your OneVue user profile must be assigned to the Account Admin role. You will log in to the app with your OneVue user name (email address) and password.

  • Connection cable (not supplied)

    Required to establish a wired connection between your Android device and the clock/timer.

    A PoE Digital Clock/Timer requires two cables, both an OTG Data Cable with Extra Power (either Micro USB or USB C) and a Mini-USB to USB cable. The Data Cable connects to your Android device and the Mini-USB to USB cable connects the data cable to the clock. Recommended OTG Data Cable with Extra Power cables available online: Option 1: Micro USB 2.0 OTG Host Adapter with USB Power or Option 2: Micro USB Host OTG Cable with USB Power. Use of an USB wall outlet adapter is only required when the wired connection does not supply enough power to power on the clock.

    See cabling example.

  • OneVue Network Profile

    During configuration, the clock/timer is assigned to an existing OneVue Network Profile.

    From the OWDC app, you cannot create a new Network Profile. Before you begin, from OneVue verify a Network Profile exists or create a new Network Profile. From OneVue, go to Devices > Networks. To create a new network, from the bottom section select +New.

    For a Non-DHCP network, during configuration you are required to provide the device's static IP address.

  • Name

    Unique name of the clock, which commonly identifies its install location.

How to add a new clock to OneVue

  1. From your Android device, open the OWDC app.

  2. Enter your OneVue username > select Next > enter your password > select Log In.

    Are you a user for more than one OneVue account? When logging in to the app, it's critical to select the account you are adding a device to or editing.

  3. Establish a wired connection between the clock and your Android device.

    • From the backside of the clock, remove its setting panel access cover to locate its Mini-USB port.

    • Connect the clock to your Android device using both an OTG Data Cable and a Mini-USB to USB cable, as illustrated in the below image.

      USB Extra Power: use of an USB wall outlet adapter is only to be used when the wired connection does not supply enough power to power on the clock.

  4. Add Device screen displays its primary settings.

    Clock name: commonly identifies the clock installation location.

    Network: select a network.

  5. Select Create Clock. The app configures the clock and displays its configuration status.

    Do not remove the connection between the clock and your Android device until prompted.

  6. When the Disconnect Device message appears, remove the wired connection between the clock and your Android device.

    Once disconnected, the app verifies the device successfully checks-in to OneVue. If after 15 minutes it does not check-in, the app displays a status message.

    If applicable, it may also take time to download the latest firmware (clock/timer displays UP).

    You can now configure additional devices or close the app when you’re done.
