zion
Zion is a platform designed to help businesses manage and visualize data from their connected devices or systems. It allows you to gather data from sensors, machines, or any smart devices and then display it in a clear, user-friendly way. With Zion, you can track real-time information, analyze trends, and make informed decisions based on the data you collect.
In short, Zion is a powerful tool for businesses to make sense of data from their devices, making operations more efficient and data-driven.
Here, you can use the Zion platform with our Tactigon shapes. It's time to wake up your creativity with these two platforms. Let's go through our Zion blocks, and then you can connect various devices to our Tactigon shapes and interact with the Zion platform to manage devices. Let us know your creative shapes by creating them and contributing to our project.
In order to use Zion within Tactigon Shape, you need to have an account on the Zion platform. If you do not know your Zion login credentials or have any issues accessing Zion, please contact a member of our Tactigon crew.
When you are ready to use Zion Cloud, you can follow these guides to log in to Zion. Only then will you be able to see the Zion blocks.
You will see the login page for the Zion platform. Here, please provide your Zion credentials, which were provided by the Taction crew.
Once you successfully log in to the Zion platform, you can see a page similar to this with all the devices.
This block is like asking your smart device: "Hey, what's your latest status?"
You can also see that the device block is already attached to the Zion 'Get Last Telemetry' block. Here, you can select which device you want to use, and the 'filter key' is like asking for just one piece of info instead of everything—like asking, 'Just tell me the battery level,' instead of getting battery, temperature, and location all at once.
zion_get_telemetry.mp4
This block is like asking a smart device: "Hey, what settings do you have saved?"
Here, it's asking a device called "NI300_TH" about value or the "alarm_threshold". The "SERVER_SCOPE" means it checks the main settings saved on the server.
Don't forget that you can change the device and attribute name; for example, you can change the device to Braccio and you can fetch the value for the x-axis.
zion_get_attr.mp4
This block is like asking: "Is my device having any serious problems right now?"
Here, we use the NI300_TH device, and the status is CRITICAL, so here we can get data that is more important.
zion_get_alarm.mp4
The block focuses on CRITICAL (most important) and ACTIVE (happening now) alarms so you don't get overwhelmed with minor or old notifications.
This block is like changing the current reading of your smart device.
You can update device telemetry data with the Zion update block. In this example we say please update the temperature_zion to 23.5 for NI300_TH device.
zion_update_telemetry.mp4
This block is like changing the settings or attributes stored on your smart device.
This example shows you that we update an attribute or key for device "N300_TH" by changing values stored in the SERVER.
So we say, please update "automatic" key as true
zion_update_attr.mp4
This block is like we say "Hey we have a serious problem with this device".
This example shows you that we create an alarm for "test device" by updating the device alarm block.
