Conessione sistema IoT a Odoo

Prerequisiti

Per collegare il sistema IoT a un database Odoo, è necessario soddisfare i seguenti prerequisiti:

  • app Internet of Things (IoT) installata;

  • il sistema IoT deve essere collegato alla rete;

  • The device connecting to Odoo must be on the same network as the IoT system.

Nota

È consigliato collegare il sistema IoT a un’istanza di produzione, in quanto altri tipi di ambienti potrebbero causare problemi (ad es., con la generazione del certificato HTTPS).

Connessione

To connect the IoT system to an Odoo database, open the IoT app and click Connect.

The browser then scans the network to which the computer is connected for available IoT systems. If an IoT system is detected, it is connected automatically. If multiple IoT systems are found, select the appropriate one in the popup that opens, then click Connect. If no IoT system is detected automatically, try connecting it to the database using a pairing code or a connection token.

Suggerimento

The IoT system’s name is composed of either the IoT box or the Windows computer’s motherboard serial number, followed by its pairing code.

Connessione con un codice di abbinamento

Nota

  1. Retrieve the IoT system’s pairing code:

    Connect the IoT box to an external monitor or a USB printer. If the IoT box was already plugged prior to this, restart it.

    • External monitor: The pairing code will be displayed on the screen after (re)starting the IoT box.

    • USB-connected printer: The pairing code should be printed automatically.

    Suggerimento

    Se alla box IoT non è collegato alcun monitor o stampante esterna, accedi alla pagina principale della box IoT e il codice verrà visualizzato nella sezione Codice di abbinamento.

  2. In Odoo, apri l’app IoT e fai clic su Collega.

  3. In the Searching for an IoT Box popup that opens, click Use Pairing Code.

  4. Enter the Pairing code and click Connect.

Connessione con un token

  1. Enable the developer mode.

  2. In Odoo, apri l’app IoT e fai clic su Collega.

  3. In the Searching for an IoT Box popup that opens, click Offline pairing.

  4. In the Pair an IoT Box offline popup that opens, copy the Token.

  5. Accedi alla pagina principale della box IoT oppure della Windows virtual IoT.

  6. In the Odoo database connected section, click Configure.

  7. Incolla il token nel campo Token server e fai clic su Collega.

Nota

Once the IoT system is connected to a database:

Modulo sistema IoT

Once the IoT system is connected to the Odoo database, it is displayed as a card in the IoT app. Click the card to access the IoT system’s form, which allows to access the IoT box’s or Windows virtual IoT’s homepage and view the list of devices connected to the IoT system.

Suggerimento

Enable the developer mode to access the IoT system’s Technical Information, such as its Domain Address, Image Version, and SSL Certificate End Date. By default, drivers are automatically updated every time the IoT system is restarted. To disable automatic updates, uncheck the Automatic drivers update option.

Disconnecting an IoT system from a database

To disconnect the IoT system from a database, follow these steps:

  1. Open the IoT app and click the relevant IoT system’s card.

  2. Click the (Actions) icon, and select Delete.

Suggerimento

Alternatively:

  1. Accedi alla pagina principale della box IoT oppure della Windows virtual IoT.

  2. Click Configure in the Odoo database connected section.

  3. Click Disconnect in the popup that opens.

HTTPS certificate

HTTPS is the secure, encrypted version of HTTP. It uses TLS (previously SSL) certificates to authenticate the server and protect the data exchanged between a browser and a website. Some network devices, such as payment terminals, require a valid HTTPS certificate to communicate with the IoT system; without it, they cannot interact properly.

Nota

In questa documentazione e in Odoo, il termine certificato HTTPS fa riferimento a un certificato SSL valido che permette la connessione di un HTTPS.

When the IoT system is (re-)started and connected to a database, it automatically downloads the HTTPS certificate if the database meets the following eligibility criteria:

  • Il database deve essere un’istanza di produzione. L’istanza del database non deve essere una copia, un duplicato, un ambiente di staging o di sviluppo.

  • The Odoo subscription must be ongoing (In Progress status).

Una volta ricevuto il certificato:

  • The IoT system’s homepage address is updated to a new HTTPS URL ending with .odoo-iot.com.

  • The HTTPS certificate banner displays the certificate’s validity period. To view this information, click the (cogs) button at the top-right of the IoT system’s homepage.
