iNode LAN enables BLE (Bluetooth Smart, IoT) devices to operate within Ethernet networks: LAN, Wi-Fi and the Internet. Among other things, it allows you to extend the range of iNode Care Sensors within a building (BLE over UDP technology – transmitting packets from the LAN to BLE) or to track the movement of iNode Nav tags online. The iNode LAN Central firmware is available, which periodically sends data in JSON format to an MQTT or HTTP/POST server. The browser-based iNode Setup, iNode Monitor and iNode MQTT Monitor provide remote access to the sensors. A simple HTML page using WebSocket and JavaScript allows you to view the contents of BLE broadcast packets in real time; the page’s code can be easily modified. The device can be controlled in exactly the same way via TCP/IP Telnet.
