1. Login & Navigation
Manage your entire installation of Ubicquia products with UbiVu. Get started at: http://panel.ubicquia.com
To set up your password, check your inbox for an email from Ubicquia (ubicquia-support-no-reply@ubicquia.com). Your system administrator or field engineer created your UbiVu profile and generated an access email. Click on the link in your email to create your unique password. Be sure to incorporate all password rules when setting up your account (see Figure 1).
If you have already created your account and forgot your password, click the Forgot Password link on the login screen (see Figure 2).
If your city or organization has single sign-on set up, please refer to your system administrator for the link you will use to access UbiVu, and for instructions on how to update your login credentials.
Use the left side navigation bar to travel to each of UbiVu's main pages: Dashboard (insights and installation overview); Map (view and manage your deployments); Alerts (view alert details when set thresholds are exceeded); Configurations (manage accounts, roles, and all deployment settings); Support (create a support case or contact Ubicquia Support); User Profile (personalize your profile and configure UbiVu preferences).
2. Subpanel Feature
The UbiVu Subpanel feature provides a customization option that can help you more effectively structure and organize your smart city. Break your deployment down into sections with tags, schedules, thresholds, and user access unique to each subpanel.
Reach out to your Ubicquia representative to activate the feature. Once enabled, a default subpanel will be created. After login, you will be prompted to select a subpanel. Select the newly created default subpanel to get started.
From here, you can add and edit subpanels (including the default) on the Subpanel Management page found in the Administration section of the Configuration menu. Click the button to create a new subpanel. Select the button and choose Edit to change an existing subpanel.
Creating and editing a subpanel is simple: give it a name, a description (not required), select the applicable time zone, and upload your logos (or keep using ours). The small logo will appear in the top left corner of the subpanel. The large logo will appear in all email notifications from that subpanel.
Node Migration
Finished creating and editing your subpanels? Go to the map and use the Node Migration tool on the side panel's Manage tab to move nodes to their appropriate subpanels.
On the Node Selection screen, select nodes from the nodes list or map, or use the draw tool to select a group of nodes. Choose a target subpanel from the drop-down menu in the top left corner of the screen. When ready, click the button.
A pop-up will prompt you to choose one: copy existing node settings (assigned tags, schedule and threshold templates), or remove all settings and move the node to the target subpanel as if it were a newly installed node. It will be assigned the target subpanel's default threshold template if there is one, and a default ALS schedule template.
Node Migration (cont.)
Review the info on the Migration Summary screen. If you chose to copy settings (see Figure 8), the tags, schedules, and threshold templates assigned to each node will be listed in their corresponding columns on the summary screen.
If you chose to remove settings, only the Node ID, Node Name, and Pole ID will migrate with the nodes.
Click the button to return to the Node Selection screen if you want to add or remove nodes, or change whether settings are copied or removed.
Click to begin the migration. You will be re-directed back to the map. While in progress, the Node Migration tool will be unavailable. When migration is complete, the Node Migration tool will be ready to use again.
Dashboard
The UbiVu Dashboard (see Figure 9) is your home page. It provides a summary of your deployment at a glance. If applicable, hover over the logo in the top left corner to search for and select a different UbiVu panel or subpanel.
Use the tabs in the top left, under the name of your panel, to select a desired capability. This will highlight that capability's node status widget and update the Insights section to show all associated insight widgets.
If applicable, use the arrows beneath the map to cycle through the node status widgets. Click a node status widget to jump to the Map page for that capability.
Insights
Your UbiVu panel leverages advanced analytics to detect fault signatures, helping you identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
Customize your Insights to keep a close eye on key variables that matter most to your city. Click the button to re-order your insight widgets. When in edit mode, click the icon and drag to re-order your widgets. The top three widgets per capability will be those displayed when All Nodes is selected on your Dashboard.
Click on an insight widget to investigate further on the Alerts page. See the appendix of this guide for definitions.
Switching Subpanels
When the Subpanel feature is enabled and multiple subpanels are available, hover over the logo in the top left corner of any UbiVu page to choose another subpanel. The currently selected subpanel will be highlighted in the list of available subpanels.
When multiple subpanels are selected, remember that nodes from one subpanel may not have the same threshold templates, schedule templates, and tags available as nodes from another. Also, when multiple subpanels are selected, or when working with the master view (All Subpanels selection), the only Configuration menu options available are Panel User Management and Subpanel Management. Select a single subpanel to adjust other settings.
If you have access to multiple subpanels, click the multi-select button to choose multiple subpanels. Click the icon to confirm your selection. Note that the number of subpanels selected will display in the bottom right corner of the logo. This icon will read "All" when the All Subpanels option is selected.
Map
Your Map page may appear as a lightbulb icon if your only deployment is Lighting. If more than one Ubicquia solution was deployed, when you hover over the Map page icon, the capability switcher will appear (see Figure 13).
Regardless of the selected capability, the Map page in UbiVu will show a large map with a collapsible side panel for analysis and controls on the left side, and a collapsible nodes table on the bottom right. The top bar on this map provides filter and search options and a node status key for the map (see Figure 14).
Depending on the capability selected (Lighting, Transformers, etc.), your panel and map may be set to one of four views (Explore, Manage, Network, or Activity) which will affect the node status indicators and information that displays as you toggle between views.
Node statuses to become familiar with: ON (the light is on); OFF (the light is off); Power Loss (the node is not communicating with UbiVu due to suspected loss of power); Circuit Off / Ckt Off (the node is installed to a pole on a circuit switch and the circuit is off); RMA (the node has been marked for return by you or your system administrator); No Network (the node has not sent a message to UbiVu in 48 hours or longer).
Nodes Table & Reporting
The nodes table is located at the bottom of the Map page. Collapse or expand it to your preferred size (see Figure 14). Select a node from the nodes table to view details specific to that node on the left panel. When a node is selected from the nodes table, click the Recenter button on the map to center on that node.
The data fields shown on the table are customizable and exportable. Available fields vary based on the installation type (i.e., Light Switch is only available for Lighting installations). Custom fields can be created from the Configuration page for most installation types, and these fields can be added to the nodes table.
Click the menu button in the top right corner of the nodes table for options. Choose Edit Table to open the Edit Table window (see Figure 15). Select the drop-down menu button in any field to replace it with a new data element. Use the Search bar in each drop-down menu to quickly search for the desired field. Click the X to the right of any field to remove that column. Click the icon on the far right of the Edit Table window to add a new column. Click Cancel to exit without saving, Apply to save changes and exit, or Reset to revert the columns completely back to default.
Depending on the selected view (Explore, Manage, Network, or Activity), the nodes table will display different data. So, if you add a field to the nodes table under the Explore view, that field will not be visible if you switch to the Manage view.
Choose Export Table Data to open the Export Table Data window (see Figure 16). Select all data elements you would like included in the export, and click Export. Selecting or de-selecting data elements here will not impact what is shown in your nodes table. The export will download in .csv format and will contain only current data.
Nodes Table & Reporting (cont.)
Additional reporting options are available for each product. Click on the download button in the top right corner of the side panel when it is expanded to open the Export Data window.
Data can be exported for all nodes, or for a selection of nodes based on what filters are applied. Any applicable filters will display at the top of this window, along with a count of the selected nodes, before reporting options are chosen. On this first page of the Export Data window, users must choose a report type and click Next to proceed (see Figure 17). Report types vary depending on the selected capability.
On the second page, users must choose a reporting period. Pre-selected options include Today, 24 Hours, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days, and Past Month, or custom dates can be selected from the calendar (see Figure 18). Users can also opt to create a scheduled report, which will generate at the selected time (daily, weekly, or monthly), and include data for the time passed between each report date. Scheduled reports can be managed from the User Profile page.
The last page of the Export Data window contains a list of additional reporting column options. Each report contains default columns, but UbiVu gives users the option to add to or remove these default columns. Make any adjustments and click Export to pull your report (see Figure 19). UbiVu will generate your report in the background. When it's ready, you will receive an email notification with a link to download your report.
Tags & Filters
Tags are pre-defined, multi-purpose groups of nodes. They can be used to easily schedule specific groups of lights to turn on or off at set times, or to closely monitor activity in specific locations. The potential for use is limitless, and so is the number of tags a user can create.
Tags can be created and edited from the Map page for each capability. Select the Manage view on the side panel and scroll to the Tags section. From here, click the Select Nodes button. This will direct you to the Tag map view. Your nodes table is still available to expand or collapse at the bottom of the screen, with a limited number of columns specific to the tag view.
Select nodes from the nodes list or the map. Selected nodes will display as purple dots (see Figure 20). Click Confirm Selection at the top of the screen when node selection is complete. This will open the Tags window (see Figure 21), which shows a list of existing tags in which any of the selected nodes are already included. Users will then have 3 options: click the X to the right of any tag to remove the selected nodes from that tag; search for an existing tag to add the selected nodes to (click Save to add nodes); or enter a new name and click Create Tag to create a new tag.
When done with tag management, click Cancel at the top of the screen to exit the tag map view. Select Draw Selection to draw a circle around the nodes you want included in your new tag.
Tags & Filters (cont.)
To view only the nodes included in a tag on your map, click the tag icon on the search & filter bar (see Figure 22). Search for and select the tag from the drop-down list and click the plus icon to add this tag to the filter bar. Your map and nodes list will now only display nodes included in the tag.
You can also click the View Tags button on the side panel (Manage view) to scroll through or search your tags list, edit tag descriptions and names, view nodes included in tags, and remove tags. UbiVu offers many other filter options, which vary by capability. Explore these by clicking the expand button to the right of the search & filter bar.
Why Use Tags? Example 1: Joe has UbiCells installed on all the lights in Sunshine Park. The park closes at 9 PM, and while Joe needs the park lights to stay on all night, he wants to save energy by turning off the tennis court lights at 9 PM. Joe creates a tag and includes all the UbiCells installed at the tennis court. While all the other nodes in Sunshine Park are on a photocell schedule, he can put the tennis court lights on their own schedule to turn off at 9 PM.
Example 2: Rachel's city installed UbiHub® APAI in multiple locations. The amount of data is overwhelming. She wants to focus on viewing data from Main Street where there are 3 major intersections. Rachel creates a tag including only the UbiHub® nodes installed on Main Street. She can now filter out all other UbiHubs and analyze data only from the nodes included in her Main Street tag.
Node Details
Check out the 4 views available on the Map page's side panel: Explore — displays an overview of your deployment with high-level data points and alerts; select a single node to view specific metrics and node information. Manage — view, edit, and create schedule or threshold templates and tags; perform mass node management actions such as migration (if the subpanel feature is enabled), circuit switch management, GIS assets, camera and audio profile application, streaming requests, sensor management, and more; select a single node or tag to perform actions on a small selection of nodes.
Network — provides an overview of your deployment's connection status; focus on network, communication, and signal strength with this view. Activity — analyze collected data and gain valuable insights using the charts and graphs tools available under this view.
For more in-depth information on the functionality available from the Node Details panel, jump to the applicable capability section: Lighting, WiFi, Cameras & Video, Air Quality, Transformers.
Operator definitions (for filters): Greater than — results contain all nodes with a value greater than the entered value. Less than — results contain all nodes with a value less than the entered value. Greater than or equal to / Less than or equal to — analogous. Equals — results contain all nodes whose value equals the exact entered value. Does not equal — results contain all nodes whose value does not equal the exact entered value. Contains — results consist of nodes containing the entered value. Not Contains — results consist of nodes that do not contain the entered value.
Alerts
The Alerts page has a side panel and collapsible table on top of a map, like the Map page. Alerts are organized by default on the left side panel with the most recent of the last 7 days at the top of the list. At a glance, you can see a count of alert events and the number of nodes impacted by each recent alert type.
Use the search & filter bar at the top of the side panel to increase focus and efficiency. Adjust the date range, and filter by product, alert type, hardware version, resolution status, date range, or custom fields. Use the search bar itself to find specific nodes by node ID, name, serial number, or pole ID. Search an address to view that area on the map. Alerts page filters function similarly to Map page filters.
Notice that the table displays additional information such as the time of each alert, the node's ID and name, the name of the threshold template, the set threshold, and the detected value. Select an alert from the side panel to view more data in the nodes table and on the map.
The fields shown will vary based on the selected alert type and capability, and they can be adjusted based on your preference. Edit the columns the same way you would edit the Map page nodes table — click the menu button, then select Edit Table. You can export the table data using this menu as well. Users can investigate the alert and mark it as resolved using the Resolved column. UbiVu will update the name of the user who resolved the alert, and the resolved date and time. This information will be viewable by all other users with the appropriate permissions.
Alerts (cont.)
Click the date in the top right corner to adjust the date range for the chart only; this will not impact the nodes table or alerts list. Use the graph control buttons to zoom in, out, or to expand the graph to a full screen view. Visualize data for applicable alert types in the graphs available when you select an alert and a node. Hover over a data point on an associated graph for specific details.
Want more information on this node without losing your place on the Alerts page? Click the button to see the selected node on the Map page in a new tab.
Active Alerts
For all capabilities with applicable thresholds, active alerts can be set up for close monitoring on the Map page – Manage tab – Alerts section (see Figure 27).
Click the button to customize which threshold types will trigger notifications on the Location page under Active Alerts. Once selected, these alerts will only display on the Map page when they are currently active. De-select every threshold type and save to turn off active alerts altogether.
Configuration
Hover over the Configuration cog icon to view an overview of all available settings for your deployment. This is broken down into two parts (see Figure 29): Administration — where users go to create and edit accounts and profiles for employees and clients, and to manage user permissions. Configuration — where users go to create and manage various profiles and other settings which vary by deployment.
On the Nodes tab for any capability, bulk upload node details. Search the nodes list by node name or serial number. Use the menu button next to a node to change its state, reset burn hours or fixture cycles, replace it, or completely reset the node and return it to an inventory state.
Select an option from the menu to lock the Configuration menu next to the left side navigation bar. The selected section will always be highlighted in this menu.
User Management
The User Management page contains two tabs: Users, where admins can create and edit user accounts; and Roles, where admins can create and manage custom permission profiles to save and apply to new or existing user accounts.
The Users tab contains a table of all users (see Figure 30) with columns for first and last name, user role, email address, user status, and an action menu button. Admins can search for a specific user with the search bar, or add a new user by clicking the button. There are four required fields on the Add User window: first and last name, email address, and role. The phone number is optional and can be added by the user later. The email address must be active; once the user is added, they will receive an email with a link to set up their password.
Choose a role you created, or one of Ubicquia's pre-set roles: Viewer — can view data only and cannot make changes to configurations, light status, or video streams and downloads. Controller — has all the capabilities of a viewer, but can also request video downloads, adjust light status, or make other changes on the Manage tab of the Map page. Admin — has all the capabilities of a controller, but can also manage other user accounts and all other settings on the Configurations page.
Provide a user with access to multiple UbiVu panels using the City Access option. Deactivating a user leaves the option to provide access again later. Removing the user completely deletes their account. Any role can be customized per user using the switches and checkboxes on the Add User window. Existing permissions can be edited using the menu button in the Action column. The only field that cannot be edited after a user is added is the email address.
User Management (cont.) — Roles
The Roles tab contains a list of all saved custom roles. Here, you can create custom access level profiles that can be applied to multiple users. Click the button to open the Create Role window. The same options available in the Add User window can be seen here, except the user info fields at the top. Enter a name and customize the access settings as needed, then click the button to complete the role.
The list of roles is organized alphabetically. All custom roles that have been created can be edited, duplicated, or removed using the menu button to the right of the role name. Ubicquia pre-set roles (Admin, Controller, and Viewer) cannot be edited or removed. Toggle access to various capabilities using the associated switch. The Manage Settings checkbox grants access to adjust settings on the Configurations page. Other access options vary by capability.
Subpanel User Management
When the subpanel feature is enabled, you can create different roles for access levels unique to each subpanel. From the applicable subpanel's Configuration menu, select Subpanel User Management. Create new roles here on the Roles tab and switch to the Users tab to add users who only need access to that subpanel (see Figure 32).
Navigate to the Panel User Management Configuration page to manage overall access to your UbiVu panel as usual, with some adjustments now that the subpanel feature is active. On the Users tab, you'll see a Subpanels column. Click the button to view that user's subpanel access settings (see Figure 33).
Subpanel User Management (cont.)
Add users and grant access to all subpanels with either the Admin role (ability to create and edit subpanels and their configurations), or the Panel Viewer role (ability to view all subpanels) — (see Figure 34).
Grant access to specific subpanels here as well — toggle the Subpanel Role Management switch from the Add User window and select the desired subpanel(s). Then, choose a role from the associated drop-down menu (see Figure 35).
Threshold Templates
Threshold templates can be created on the applicable Configuration page and applied to individual nodes or tags on the Map page. They can be created and assigned for Lighting, Transformers, and Air Quality capabilities. When thresholds are set in a template and the template is assigned to a node or tag, an alert will trigger if those thresholds are exceeded. There are various ways to receive alerts, configured by individual users based on their preference.
To create threshold templates for Lighting, go to the Lighting Configuration page – Thresholds tab. Travel here directly from your map by clicking the button on the side panel (see Figure 36) and clicking the Configuration page link in the bottom right of the pop-up window. Templates can be created by clicking the button. Edit or delete a template using the menu button in the appropriate threshold list.
When creating or editing a threshold template, the Add Threshold window will open, where users must name their template and select an attribute. Depending on which attribute is selected, one or more values may need to be entered. For a list of threshold types and their definitions by capability, see the Appendix section.
Select the checkbox at the bottom of a new or existing threshold template to mark it as a default template. If you manage a UbiGrid® DTM+ installation, select whether the default template should be applied to single or three phase nodes only, or to both. When ready, click. Then, choose to assign the default template only to new nodes, or to all nodes (new and existing). You can create one default threshold per alert type and, if applicable, per transformer type.
Custom Fields
Custom fields can be created from the Lighting Configuration page – Custom Fields tab. There are also Custom Fields tabs on the WiFi, Analytics, and Transformers Configuration pages. Users can create up to 50 custom fields per capability, and they can be used in filters and reports to help manage deployments.
Click the button to create a new custom field. Enter a name and description for your new custom field — this is what users on the Map page – Explore tab will see. Then, select a data type: numeric or alphanumeric.
Tag Management
Additional tag management features for all capabilities are available from the Configurations menu — Lighting, Video & Audio, Transformers, WiFi, or Air Quality pages. Select the Tags tab on any of these pages to manage your tags for the selected capability. Create new tags by clicking the Upload Tag Data button and following the instructions in the Upload Tag Data window.
In the tag list, click and drag existing tags to prioritize them for nodes included in multiple tags with multiple schedules assigned. You can also click on the priority number to the left of the tag name and enter a new number to change the priority. Use the menu button to edit a tag name, open the View Nodes window (see Figure 41), quickly bump a tag to first or last priority, or remove a tag entirely.
Click the trash can icon to remove a node from the selected tag. Jump to the Map page to see the map and nodes table filtered for the selected tag.
Support
The Support page has a simple form for users to create a support case and submit it directly to the Ubicquia Support team. Ubicquia's address, and the support phone number and email, are also available on this page.
When filling out the Contact Us form (see Figure 42), be sure to enter accurate contact information so the support team will be able to reach you with a response. It is also helpful if you include your location or UbiVu panel name in the description.
User Profile
Hover over the profile icon on the left navigation bar and click the button to sign out from any UbiVu page. Users can personalize their accounts here by adding a profile image: click the button on the left side panel to upload an image. Click the icon to remove the image (see Figure 43).
In the Notifications section, users can opt out of receiving email or SMS notifications when alerts are triggered, or select one of four options for notification frequency: Alert me as issues happen — a notification per alert type, per node, every 24 hours; insights summary reports sent daily at 11 AM. Alert me as instantaneous issues happen — a notification instantaneously for all alerts; insights reports sent daily at 11 AM. Email me a summary on days with issues — a daily summary of all alerts at the set time if any alerts are triggered. Email me a summary on issues every day — a summary of daily alerts, every day at the set time.
Choose a Profile page section to access different types of settings and personal configuration options. Add a mobile number on the Settings section – User tab to choose the SMS option for alert notification delivery.
Lighting — GIS Assets
The lighting capability is available for deployments of UbiCell® or UbiHub®. This section covers lighting-specific functionalities and features such as GIS assets, schedule templates, lighting threshold configurations, and more.
Geographic Information System (GIS) Assets: The GIS Assets feature allows users to link their UbiCell® or UbiHub® nodes with the location of the poles where they were installed, which allows users to more easily and efficiently monitor all assets.
From the Lighting Configuration page – GIS Assets tab, users can upload .csv files containing asset information (Pole ID, Luminaire, GPS coordinates) by selecting the button, choosing a .csv file, and selecting Upload. The data will load and, once complete, will show the last upload date with an option for more information (file name, how many entries were successfully uploaded, and how many failed). Click the button to download GIS asset data from your UbiVu panel.
Once the file has been uploaded, click the refresh icon to view successfully uploaded asset data beneath the Pole heading (see Figure 44). Link assets from this page, or with the GIS Assets tool on the Map page – Manage tab. Click the link icon next to an unlinked asset on the Pole list, then select the corresponding node from the UbiCell® list to link an asset.
GIS Assets (cont.)
Before UbiVu links a pole and node, it will prompt the user to choose whether to use asset location data (uploaded from the asset file), or UbiCell® location data (recorded by the node in the field). When a pole and a node are linked, they will move to the Linked Asset list as one line item (see Figure 46).
Link assets directly from the Map page by using the GIS Assets tool on the Manage tab when no nodes are selected (see Figure 45). The GIS Assets tool includes a new legend in the top right corner of the screen, and a nodes table at the bottom. This table is the same as your regular nodes table, with a new Linked column on the far left, which shows a linked or unlinked icon depending on the linked status of the node. When the table is exported, the Linked column will show Yes if the node is linked to a pole, and No if it is not.
You can also click in the Serial Number or Node Name column headings to search a specific node. Click the un-link icon next to a linked asset on the Linked Asset list, then confirm in the pop-up window to un-link an asset.
GIS Assets (cont.) — Linking on the Map
To see node icons on the map, the map must be zoomed in to street view. From here, there are 3 actions a user can take: Manually Link Assets — manually select individual poles and choose which nodes to link them to (see Figure 47); when complete, click Confirm. Automatically Link Assets — draw a circle around a group of nodes and poles, and UbiVu will make the selections for you based on proximity of each node to each pole within the circle (see Figure 48); when complete, click Confirm. Unlink Assets — manually select individual linked or partially linked assets and choose which node to unlink (see Figure 49); once selections are made, the linked asset turns red to indicate it was selected to be unlinked; click Confirm.
Circuit Switch Prediction
UbiVu can use collected data to predict whether a node is installed on a circuit switch. Using the Circuit Switch tool, users will be able to confirm or remove these predictions, and the information will be reflected in the nodes table via a Circuit Switch (Yes/No) column that can be added. There is also a Circuit Switch filter attribute (see Figure 50).
Find the Circuit Switch tool on the Map page – Manage tab when no nodes are selected. The Circuit Switch tool has a legend in the top right corner of the screen. Any nodes predicted to be on circuit switches will appear as yellow boxes on the map. To confirm or remove the prediction, click on the node on the map, or search it in the table below, and click the Confirm button to choose Circuit Switch or Normal Circuit (see Figure 51).
Schedule Templates
Schedule templates can be created on the Lighting Configuration page – Schedules tab. They can be applied to an entire lighting deployment, a group of nodes included in a tag, or individual nodes on the Map page – Manage tab. If you do not create and apply any schedule templates, all nodes will run a default ALS schedule where lights turn on when 10 lux or less light is detected, and off when 100 lux or more is detected.
There are two types of schedule templates: Time-of-Day Templates (see Figure 54) — lights can be scheduled to dim, or turn on/off at a specified time every day, or different times on various days; they can also be scheduled according to astronomical (sunrise/sunset) times. ALS Templates (see Figure 55) — lights can be scheduled to turn on or off based on the level of light detected at any given time every day. On the Schedules tab, click the corresponding button to add either a Time-of-Day template or an ALS template (see Figure 52).
Time-of-Day Templates
Enter a template name and select Everyday or Multiday from the Template Type drop-down menu. An everyday template type displays one timeline with yellow and blue markers for sunrise and sunset. A multiday template (see Figure 53) displays 7 timelines, marked with a letter to symbolize every day of the week.
Click anywhere on the timeline to create a schedule action at that time. Adjust the time if necessary using the drop-down menu in the pop-up window. Use the slider to adjust the light's brightness. Toggle the Astronomical switch to make the schedule action dependent on sunrise or sunset instead of at a specific time. Toggle ALS Smart Mode on, and adjust the ALS Sensitivity sliders below the schedule template settings as desired to have schedule settings overridden if actual light levels exceed your configurations.
When complete, click Next to set custom dates for the template (e.g., October only), or choose for it to function year-round. ON schedule actions appear as blue bubbles on the timeline, while OFF schedule actions appear as grey bubbles.
ALS Schedule Templates & Applying
ALS Schedule Templates: Enter a template name. Currently, the only template type available for ALS templates is the everyday type. Use the sliders or the plus and minus buttons to adjust ALS sensitivity to the desired values (see Figure 54). When complete, click Next to set custom dates for your ALS template, or choose for it to function year-round.
Applying Schedule Templates: When one or more templates have been created, users can apply those templates to nodes on the Map page – Manage tab. Select a single node or tag to apply a schedule template. If the node does not have a custom schedule template applied, it will display the default ALS template (see Figure 55).
To add a new schedule template, use the drop-down menu beneath the Schedules section to select a template from the list. Once selected, click the button. The newly added schedule will replace the default schedule (see Figure 56). If multiple schedules are applied, click and drag to re-order the schedule templates — the top template takes priority. Click on the schedule name to see a view-only version of the schedule template. Click the Create button to create a schedule template from the Map page without navigating to the Lighting Configuration page.
Additional Light Management & Node Properties
Manual lighting controls are available on the Map page – Manage tab. Select an individual node or tag and find the light controls on the side panel. There is a light switch that can be toggled on (blue) or off (grey). Beneath the light switch there is a Brightness slider. Slide left to dim and right to brighten a light or all lights included in a tag.
Node Properties: When a single node is selected, the Properties section appears on the Explore tab. Here you can find individual node details, most of which are editable to help you better manage and organize your deployments. Enter pole details into the Asset Information section: pole ID, height, type, color, Feeder, Substation, twin pole status, circuit switch status, and manually adjust location (see Figure 57).
View DALI information, or add a fixture ID, type, manufacturer, wattage, and model in the Fixture Information section, and find your custom fields in the Other Information section. The Node Information section at the bottom of the Properties tab displays a node's name and device state, which are editable fields. You will also find the node ID, status, hardware version, and firmware version in this section; none of these fields are editable.
Individual Node Analysis
When a single node is selected, the Activity tab displays three activities: Energy Consumption, Light History, and Tilt. Click on Energy Consumption to view consumption data by year, month, week, or day.
Select Light History to view an interactive chart with multiple available data variables (see Figure 58). The default chart displays lamp state and brightness by week for the current week, but users can use the drop-downs at the top of the chart to select different variables, and those at the bottom to select different date ranges. Beneath the chart is a table of events. Users can filter for different event types or node states.
Click on Tilt to view the tilt widget where the selected node's degree of tilt displays on a half-arc (see Figure 59). If tilt thresholds are configured, these display here as well.

The WiFi Map page has features specific to deployments with the WiFi capability. The key in the top right corner contains a new set of markers: Connected Root — a root node connected to the Wi-Fi server. Disconnected Root — a root node disconnected from the Wi-Fi server. Connected Leaf — a leaf node communicating with its root. Orphan — a leaf node not connected to a root.
The WiFi map (when the Network tab is selected) also has a drop-down menu in the bottom left corner for users to select from multiple views. The default view is the node view, but users can also choose to visualize 5 and 2.4 GHz signals surrounding nodes, or the connections between root and leaf nodes (see Figure 60).
Activities and Controls: The WiFi Map page has activity monitoring charts available from the side panel under the Operational > Explore tabs (see Figure 61). Options available for the entire WiFi deployment are Bandwidth Consumption and Total Clients. When an individual root or leaf node is selected, WAN Health is an option, and additional controls become available on the Controls tab.
Bandwidth Consumption & Total Clients
Bandwidth Consumption: When this activity is selected, a consumption chart replaces the map (see Figure 62). This chart displays bandwidth consumption in megabits per second (Mbps) over time. Hover over any data point for additional details. Click Map in the top right corner to visualize this data on the map. Click Node Status on the left side panel to close this activity.
Total Clients: This activity displays data related to all clients who have accessed WiFi (see Figure 63). The chart shows the number of connected clients over time, with similar features to the Bandwidth Consumption chart. Click a MAC address to view that user's bandwidth consumption over time. Click the person icon in the Action column to block or un-block the selected client from accessing one or more SSIDs.
Adjust the date and time range and intervals, or add a comparison date range using the left menu; filter for specific SSIDs using the right menu. View a list of associated nodes and more details in the table below.
WAN Health & Controls
WAN Health: This activity is only available when a single node is selected. Visualize data such as uptime, packet retransmission, data sent, data received, sent packet loss, and received packet loss in chart views (see Figure 64). Hover over any data point on any chart for more details.
Controls: Additional controls become available when an individual node is selected (see Figure 65). Click the Controls tab to run network diagnostics. Available commands are ping, speed test, traceroute, and ARP scan. Ping and traceroute require a target host or IP address. The PoE reset will power cycle the 3rd party device connected via the PoE port (only available if an External Sensor profile is applied). All commands except the internet/WiFi speed tests and the PoE reset require selecting an interface: WAN (for a root node, ping/traceroute goes from the root through the backhaul to the internet; for a leaf node, through the root node's backhaul) or LTE (through the node's own LTE connection).
Properties & Configuration
UbiVu offers various customization options for your WiFi deployment. Many can be applied to tags for fast setup, and some can only be applied to individual nodes. Information fields that can be edited for multiple nodes at once: WiFi Radio (toggle to turn Wi-Fi radio on/off), Venues (apply Wi-Fi venues to one or more nodes), Backhaul and External Sensor profiles (prioritize backhaul options; manage external sensors connected to the UbiHub's PoE port), and Other Information / Custom fields. A half-toggled switch indicates that some nodes in the selection are ON while others are OFF.
Information fields that can only be edited for individual nodes: SSIDs (view-only, shows SSIDs applied to the node), Role (choose whether the node is a root or leaf/mesh), VLANs (enable/disable the associated VLAN), WLAN DHCP Profile (apply a WLAN DHCP profile), and IP Address Configuration (enter info for IP address allocation). Node Information fields are set values that cannot be edited. Pole Information fields are set up when the deployment is first configured and currently cannot be edited by users; contact Ubicquia Support to change Wi-Fi pole information.
Several Properties tab settings require initial set-up on the WiFi Configuration page. There are 3 pages related to the WiFi capability (see Figure 67): WiFi, External Sensors, and Backhaul Management. The first three tabs on the WiFi Configuration page (Nodes, Custom Fields, and Tags) function the same way as for Lighting installations.
Venues & Wireless Channels
Venues: Create and edit venue templates on the WiFi Configuration page – Venues tab. A venue is a template that can be assigned to a group of nodes and allow them to share the same WiFi settings. Assign the venue a name, choose the operating channel, and select the SSIDs that nodes within this venue should inherit (see Figure 68). Only one WAN and LAN Extension VLAN can be assigned to a venue. Fronthaul VLANs can be assigned to SSIDs included in the venue. Add up to 3 SSIDs per venue; check the box to turn on traffic shaping to manage bandwidth. Assign a VLAN to an SSID; check the box to hide the SSID.
SSIDs & RADIUS / VLANs
SSIDs & RADIUS Server Templates: SSIDs can be created and edited on the WiFi Configuration page – SSID tab (see Figure 70). Give the SSID a name and choose your preferred security protocol. All Personal options require a password except Open and WPA3-OWE; all Enterprise options require a RADIUS server selection. Create and edit RADIUS server templates on the RADIUS Server tab. These templates contain the enrollment data required to authenticate clients on the network (see Figure 71).
VLANs: Create and edit VLANs and assign VLAN IDs on the WiFi Configuration page – VLANs tab. Associate VLANs to specific SSIDs when creating or editing venues on the Venues tab, and associate IP addresses and gateway information on a per-node basis from the Map page – Properties tab. Click the button to create a VLAN by entering a value between 100 and 4094, select a VLAN type, then click Save. VLANs cannot be edited, only deleted and re-created if necessary.
Captive Portal
Create and edit captive portal templates for your end users on the WiFi Configuration page – Captive Portals tab (see Figures 72-74). Customize a splash page, block specific websites, define session length, and create user groups for access to the network. You can assign a captive portal to an SSID when creating or editing a venue on the Venues tab.
Toggle the Integrate switch to enter a redirection URL for a third-party captive portal. The repermit time is the amount of time before a user can access the network again once the max session length is exceeded.
Captive Portal (cont.)
On the second captive portal page, toggle the Integrate switch to enter a redirect URL. Click to expand or collapse user groups. Choose up to 5 input fields per group. Customize button, font, and background colors. View a full preview of your splash page.
WLAN DHCP & Manage Blocked Clients
WLAN DHCP: Create a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) profile on the WiFi Configuration page – WLAN DHCP tab. DHCP is a network management protocol used on IP networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network. The default profile (see Figure 75) is automatically applied to nodes, but you can apply a custom profile to individual nodes on the Map page – Properties tab.
Manage Blocked Clients: Users can block devices using the Total Client view on the Map page – Explore tab – Activities section. Go to the WiFi Configuration page – Global Settings tab to manage blocked devices. Click the button to open the list of blocked devices and view details (see Figure 76). Click the button to unblock the associated device.
External Sensors & Backhaul Management
External Sensors: Sensor profiles can be created and edited on the External Sensors Configuration page. Click Add Sensor Profile to create a new profile, or select the menu button of an existing profile to edit it (see Figure 77). Use the Sensor Type and Manufacturer drop-downs to fast-track profile creation, or choose "Other" to start with a blank template. Choose from the Model menu to determine the Power State value. Use the Data State switch to enable ethernet connectivity over the PoE port. When data state is enabled, external sensor profiles can support multiple gateway modes: Router (default), LAN Extension, and WAN modes.
If the default Router mode is selected, the following fields have default entries and can be changed: Gateway IP Address, Gateway Mask, Gateway CIDR, DHCP Lease Time, and Sensor IP Address. The Sensor MAC Address field is optional. Click Add Firewall Rules to set up additional security measures. Required fields are Start Port, Zone, Type, and Protocol. Egress Forwarding can be toggled on/off, and a note up to 155 characters can be added. Dependencies: a WAN gateway mode profile can only be applied to root nodes; a LAN Extension gateway mode profile can only be applied to nodes in venues with a LAN Extension VLAN assigned. To add a profile to a node or tag, go to the Map page, select the node or tag, and go to Properties tab – External Sensor Profile section.
Backhaul Management: Users can view the default backhaul profile, which shows prioritization of the available backhaul options, on the Backhaul Management Configuration page. Users can choose the Default profile (see Figure 78), or create a new profile to prioritize and manage network types for different capabilities.
Cameras & Video
Configure, control, and analyze your UbiHub® deployment with cameras and video capabilities here. On the Cameras & Video Map, there is a default view (no node or filter selected) on the Explore tab containing counts of cameras with different configurations set up (recording, streaming, tripwires, etc.). Select a node or apply a filter to view counts of the configurations specific to that node or filtered set. Select a single node to view its properties on the Explore tab.
Click on the Map Preferences button and toggle the switch to enable Camera Status view. Cameras available for video recording show as a green dot, while unavailable cameras show with a red dot.
Cameras & Video — Manage Tab
Click the expand button to expand a section and manage profiles. Click the collapse button to collapse a section for easier navigation.
Camera Profiles: Create recording, streaming, microphone, and image profiles on the Video & Audio Configuration page, and apply them to a node or filtered set of nodes on the Manage tab of the Map page – Camera Management section. Create traffic and vehicle zone occupancy profiles on the Analytics Configuration page, and apply them on the Manage tab – Analytics Management section. See the WiFi section – External Sensors & Backhaul Management sub-sections for creating those profiles, applied on the Cameras & Video Map page Manage tab – Sensors Management section.
Camera Profiles & Configuration
All nodes have default profiles applied. Users can create their own on the Video & Audio or Analytics Configuration pages, then apply them to cameras by selecting one or more nodes on the Map page – Manage tab. Go to the Camera Recording tab on the Video & Audio Configuration page to create a recording profile. Name the profile and choose whether to include audio. If audio is included, select a microphone profile. Then, use the slider to select resolution and retention time — the longer video needs to be retained, the lower the quality. A sample video displays in the top right corner (see Figure 82).
Streaming Quality profiles are simple — create and edit them on the Video & Audio Configuration page – Streaming Quality tab. Give the profile a name, choose whether audio should be included (if so, add a microphone profile), and select a bit rate. Microphone profiles can be created on the Video & Audio Configuration page – Microphone Profile tab: give the profile a name and use the slider to select microphone gain (the 2 requirements). Users can also toggle Noise Cancellation or Audio Analytics on, and include a sampling or reporting period for analysis. The sampling period cannot be greater than the reporting period.
Profile Configuration (cont.)
Camera Image profiles can be created on the Video & Audio Configuration page – Camera Image Profiles tab. Enter a name for the profile, manual and auto exposure time, and an ISO value (default 0). Traffic profiles allow users to control the rate at which packets are sent from a node to the cloud with vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle detection data. Create them on the Analytics Configuration page – Traffic tab (see Figure 84).
To create or edit a Vehicle Zone Occupancy profile, go to the Analytics Configuration page – Vehicle Zone Occupancy tab (see Figure 85). Give the profile a name and fill out the two dwell time fields and the sampling time field: Arrival Dwell Time (the duration the detector waits after a vehicle enters a zone before generating a park-in event); Departure Dwell Time (the duration from when a vehicle enters a zone to when it exits before generating a park-out event); Minimum Sampling Time (the minimum interval at which the parking detector analyzes the field of view). Toggle the Reporting switch on to make the profile active (also possible on the Map page – Manage tab).
Motion Detection Threshold Configuration
When motion detection boxes are in use (edit from the Map page > Manage tab), users can set thresholds around when motion detection is enabled, and who and how to alert when pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle motion is detected within the threshold. Go to the Analytics Configuration page > Motion Detection tab. Create thresholds to determine the detection window of events (see Figure 86). Enter a name and set the frequency and time range for alerts. Toggle the Daily and All Day switches to keep motion detection active all the time, or select specific days and time frames.
When complete, click to set up notification settings. Enter applicable email addresses and/or SMS numbers for alerts and choose the alert frequency. Users can receive no alerts, instant alerts, or a daily report at a set time. When ready, review your settings on the left side bar and click.
Camera Analytics
This section provides both a day and night preview of the camera's line of sight. Select the appropriate button to toggle between them. Update the preview image here. Day hours are 9 AM to 4 PM. Night hours are 9 PM to 3 AM. If a request is made outside those hours, UbiVu refreshes the image as soon as the next time window begins.
When profiles have been created and applied, tripwires and detection windows need to be defined (or edited). Select a node, go to the Manage tab, and choose a camera (front or back). The map switches to a satellite view of the node with an overhead view of the applied analytics. Use the same map buttons to zoom or swap to map view. Processing utilization can be viewed on the side panel, color-coded between front and back cameras (see Figure 87). Click the button in the top right corner to edit the selected camera's analytics.
Camera Analytics (cont.)
The Editing Camera Analytics screen includes a map with a check box to turn labels on/off, zoom buttons, map/satellite view, and pegman view. The editing section below includes a front/back camera selection box, a processing utilization meter, the Configuration State indicator, analytics selections, the camera view, help text, and an undo button (see Figure 88). The Configuration State indicator shows whether the camera can be updated: Ready (can be updated), In Transit (recently updated, change not yet implemented, can be overwritten), Locked (cannot currently be updated).
There are five types of analytics that can be edited: Homography — associate the map view with the camera view by aligning the colored lines (green, red, blue, yellow) on both views for favorable accuracy. Vehicle — add up to two tripwires (yellow) within the pink detection box; cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses that cross in any direction are counted. Pedestrian/Bicycle — add a pink detection box inside the teal boundary; add a blue tripwire to detect pedestrians, a green one for bicycles, or both (up to 2 per box). Zone Occupancy — add a red zone box where vehicles are detected based on the applied profile; no limit to the number of zones. Privacy Mask — add a privacy mask to restrict recording/streaming of sensitive areas; no limit. Motion Detection — when added, all other tripwires are removed; boxes detect vehicle or pedestrian motion; add a threshold template via the Assign To drop-down.
While editing, use the Undo button in the bottom right to undo mistakes. Hit Cancel in the top right to disregard all changes, or Save to finish and save the new configuration.
Video Requests & Streaming
When profiles are configured and applied, live video can be streamed, or previously recorded video can be downloaded using the options under the Video section on the Activity tab. To download video, select Video Request from the Video menu on the Manage tab. The map switches to a video request view, with nodes color-coded by availability: green = available, red = unavailable, purple = video already requested for that node. Once a node is selected, preview images load underneath the map. Select front, rear, or both. Make all desired selections (multiple nodes and camera views), then click Next (see Figure 89).
Video Streaming
To stream video, choose the Video Streaming option from the Video section on the Explore tab, then select a camera from the map. The front and back camera previews display beneath the map. Click the play button on either camera to begin streaming (see Figure 91). Click to make the stream full screen. Pause the stream or adjust audio volume if microphones are enabled. Click Play on the other camera to switch to streaming from it.
Activity Analysis
Several charts and tables are available on the Map page – Activity tab to visualize and analyze your collected data. Select a node with vehicle analytics applied and click Vehicle Counts to view vehicle detection data. Switch to the map view in the top right corner to see color-coded tripwires on the map (see Figure 93): blue lines = vehicle detection, yellow = pedestrian detection, purple = bicycle detection. Click on a tripwire to see the front and rear camera views and data specific to that tripwire.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Counts include all the same features and functionality as Vehicle Counts, with a chart view and map view. Adjust the date, time, and interval displayed in the chart, and filter for vehicle type and direction of travel. Each instance of detected vehicles is listed in the exportable table below. Go to the User Profile page to choose an Average Speed measurement unit: mph or km/h.
Activity Analysis (cont.) — Stationary Vehicles
Stationary Vehicles functions similarly to Vehicle, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Counts. The chart shows a count of vehicles and the time they spent parked in the pre-defined zone (see Figure 94). The list below shows each instance of a parked vehicle, its detection time, exit time, total dwell time, and the camera (front or rear) used to detect it. The map view highlights any node that detected stationary vehicles. Filter for time frame options: Now, Last Hour, Today, Yesterday, or Last 7 Days. Filter for dwell time greater than 3, 10, or 30 minutes.
Air Quality
Deployments with the UbiSmart AQM+ include the Air Quality capability on the Map page. A map loads with the default AQI view. All active nodes display on the map with color-coded zones depicting the AQI. A key for the color coding is in the top right corner (see Figure 95). Select a node to view individual node data on the Explore tab. All pollutants are listed on the left panel, color-coded, and the primary pollutant is outlined in a grey box (see Figure 96).
Use the Air Quality Index activity from the Explore tab (only when a node is selected) to visualize data on a chart. The AQI displays at the top of the chart, but the chart can be adjusted to display any pollutant; it shows levels of pollution over time (see Figure 97). When a node is selected, go to the Controls tab to apply or remove a threshold template. Air Quality threshold templates are slightly different from other threshold templates. On the Properties tab, manage air quality tags for the selected node(s). Use the drop-down menus to visualize different air quality variables on the map at various time periods.
Air Quality Thresholds
Create and manage air quality threshold templates on the Air Quality Configuration page – Thresholds tab. Thresholds can be created for pollutants (see Appendix D for definitions). Each pollutant includes a color-coded slider to help visualize the threshold level. Name the template, select a threshold type and an operator (see operator definitions), then use the slider to select the threshold level (see Figure 98).
Create a default threshold template for each alert type to assign to existing and new nodes. Select the checkbox at the bottom of a template to mark it as default. If you manage a UbiGrid® installation, select whether the default template applies to single or three phase nodes only, or both. When ready, click. Then choose to assign the default template only to new nodes, or to all nodes (new and existing). You can create one default threshold per alert type and, if applicable, per transformer type.
Transformers
Deployments with the UbiGrid® DTM+ display the Transformers capability on the Map page. The map and nodes table include the same main functionality as the Lighting capability; however, when a node is selected, an overview of the node's collected data displays at the top of the Explore tab. Various options for entering and viewing transformer or node details specific to the selected node show beneath the current metrics and alerts, under the Properties section (see Figure 99).
Add or edit transformer details such as kVA rating, manufacturer, transformer location number, or rated HV here. Go to the Manage tab to assign or edit thresholds and tags, or (with no nodes selected and the subpanel feature enabled) to use the Node Migration tool (see Figure 100). You can also create and edit thresholds on the Transformers Configuration page – Manage tab.
Transformer Activity Analysis
With a node selected on the Activity tab (see Figure 101), several options for transformer activity analysis appear on the side panel. Select the first one, Metrics Overview, to replace the map and nodes table with a summary of all major metrics in chart format (see Figure 102). Click on any chart to expand it and view more details in list form. If you already know what you need to review closely, click the appropriate metric to jump straight to that chart.
Individual metric charts provide additional options for analysis; hover over any point on the graph for more details. Edit and export the table below, which lists each instance of collected data. Click the date and time to adjust it and view data within a shorter or longer time frame. Click the expand button to view this node's tilt widget. If tilt thresholds are defined, they appear on the widget.
