UbiBot are continuously optimising the device functionality and user experience, and will update the firmware from time to time. Some of the devices support remote upgrade function, the supported product ids are as follows: ubibot-ws1a series, ubibot-ws1pb series, ubibot-gs1a series, ubibot-gs2a series, ubibot-sp1 series, ubibot-sp1a series, ubibot-ms1 series, ubibot-ms1a series, ubibot-aqs1 series, ubibot -ld1 series, etc. Before upgrading, please make sure your product id is in the above range. Go to the device page and check the product id. Click [Pending Commands] - [New Command], enter the upgrade instruction at the command string and click Save. Please confirm the upgrade instruction with the after-sales staff. After saving, the device will execute the command and complete the upgrade in the next sync cycle, please check the device firmware version and confirm it in time.

There is no need of subscription to use the UbiBot Platform. Each device comes with the free plan on UbiBot platform that offers 50MB storage and 200MB outbound traffic. The 50MB storage is for lifetime and 200MB of outbound traffic is rotated monthly for each device. But any balance of the outbound traffic will not roll over to the next month. For example, if you have 500 MB outbound traffic unused this month, you still have 1 GB next month. The free 50MB storage is enough to store over 2 years amount of data in case of your device takes temperature, humidity and light sensor readings every 10 minutes. You can also pay for larger amount of storage and outbound traffic. Please go to the "Pricing" page to see details.

We now support integration with Telegram via HTTP to provide additional alert notification methods. This example demonstrates how to integrate the UbiBot platform with Telegram. You will need to first create a UbiHTTP item on the HTTP interaction page first, then configure the corresponding trigger rule under channel page. When the rule is triggered, it will invoke the Telegram bot to send a message to your group or channel.

Steps 1: Create a Telegram Bot

1. Search for @BotFather, and send '/start'.
2. Send '/newbot' to create a bew bot.
3. Set the bot's name and username (such as UbiBotAlert_bot).
4. After successful creation, @BotFather will provide an API Token (such as 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11).

Steps 2: Add the bot to the group

1. Create and open your group.
2. Tap the group name to access settings.
3. Select "Add members", search for the bot's username you just created (e.g. UbiBotAlert_bot) and add the bot.

Note: If the bot cannot be added, it may be due to privacy mode settings or group permission restrictions. Please follow the steps below to adjust the settings.

• Set Bot Permissions

To ensure the bot functions properly, you need to assign it the appropriate permissions. In the group, click the bot's name and select "Promote to Administrator". Then, enable the following permissions as needed:

• Delete Messages: Allows the bot to clean up spam or unwanted messages.
• Restrict Members: Enables the bot to mute or remove members.
• Invite Users via Link: Allows the bot to create or share invite links.
• Change Group Info: Allows the bot to modify group details such as name or profile picture.
• Post Messages Anonymously: Usually not required.

• Adjust Bot Privacy Settings

By default, many bots operate in Privacy Mode, meaning they can only see messages that mention them or are replies to them.If you want the bot to monitor all messages (e.g., for keyword detection or automatic greetings), you need to disable privacy mode. To disable privacy mode, send '/setprivacy' to @BotFather. Select your bot and choose "Disable" to turn off privacy mode.Once disabled, the bot will be able to receive all messages in the group (administrator permissions are still required).

Steps 3: Retrieve the group chat_id

1. Search for @getidsbot and click START or send the '/start'.
2. Add @getidsbot to your group.
3. The bot will send the group ID, which is usually a negative number (for example, -50******88).

Steps 4: Set up HTTP

1. Log in to the Ubibot console(console.ubibot.com), navigate to HTTP interaction page.
2. Create a HTTP.
3. Enter the URL, select "POST" method and enter content type "application/json". The URL should be "https://api.telegram.org/botAPI Token/sendMessage", the API Token is the token obtained in the first step, e.g. https://api.telegram.org/bot8408679946:AAHowzTM_gHKv8pA-Kvpv9T2sTp-D_RskXk/sendMessage.
4. The Body contains the message content to be sent, and the chat_id must be replaced with the group chat ID obtained in the third step. If you need to adjust the content, please refer to the FAQ.

Steps 5: Create an Alert Rule

Create an alert rule from the console panel of the selected channel. Choose "HTTP" as the alert mode and select the created UbiHTTP in step 4. When the this sensor rule is satisfied, it will trigger the UbiHTTP to send a message the your Telegram group.

Ubibot offers tools to enhance the security of your account. You can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. This two-factor authentication is added to your username/password pair, and is managed from a device you own: a phone, tablet, or security key.

Enable two-factor authentication

For this method, you will need to install an OTP application on your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. Many OTP applications exist (no OTP applications have been developed by Ubibot) and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store for Android or from the Apple Store for iOS. To enable secondary authentication, you need to install an authentication app on your smartphone/tablet. You can get it by searching for keywords in the app store, such as authenticator, 2FA, etc. Once the application is linked to your Ubibot account, the application generates a one-time code that is valid for a short period of time each time you try to log in. ① Log in to the Ubibot console, click [Account] → [Settings] → [Security Settings], click [Link]. ② Enter your password. ③ A QR code is generated, scan it via your OTP application. If your OTP application does not offer this option, click Show secret to display a code to enter into the OTP application.Your application then generates a one-time code. Enter this code in the field to the right of the QR code. You can also add a description for this authentication method. ④ When you enable two-factor authentication for the first time, you will see 10 single-use recovery codes displayed in the Console. Please keep them safe.

Edit two-factor authentication

Once the two-factor authentication is enabled, you can manage the Recovery Code or disable two-factor authentication.

Recovery Code

① Click [Change], enter your password. ② Click Recovery Code. ③ Enter the one-time code on your OTP App. ④ Now you can view and re-download or reset the recovery code. After reset, all the original recovery codes are invalidated.

Disable two-factor authentication

① Click Disable. ② The console supports both Authentication App and Email. Authentication App: Enter the one-time code in the App to completely disable the two-factor authentication function. Two-factor authentication is no longer required after disabling. Email: Only unbind the Authentication APP, does not disable the two-factor authentication function, the backup code is still valid. It is recommended to relink the available authentication APP immediately after unlink.

Log in with two-factor authentication

Go to the login page for the Ubibot Console and enter your account and password. Enter the one-time code within the Authentication App to complete the login. Recovery code can also be used to log in.

Before deleting your account, please make sure to unbind all devices associated with your account.

1. Click [Me-Account].

2. Click [Delete Account]. 3. Click [Delete]. 4. Follow the prompts to obtain and enter the verification code, and then enter your password. 5. Once confirmed, we will immediately delete your account and all related data.

Automation management can quickly realise the linkage between devices. When the trigger device reaches the pre-set trigger conditions, the execution device will automatically trigger the operation.

1. Click [Data Factory]-[Automation Management]-[Create Automation].

2. Select trigger device, and set the trigger condition. 3. Select the execution device and action.

In regards to the platform RestFul APIs, please read this page first to get started. This page describes the important information such as endpoint and ways of authentications: https://www.ubibot.com/platform-api/1232/quick-start/ To obtain the required authentication credentials, please login to http://console.ubibot.com. The account key can be found on page: Account->Security. The API key is located on each channel page. This page describes how to get the list of devices (channels). This is one of the most useful APIs that will return the latest readings of all the sensors of all device in one call: https://www.ubibot.com/platform-api/1113/get-channels/ This page describes how to use data forwarding service. In generate, it will forward a copy of the original feed data from any UbiBot device to the given URL endpoint. This can be useful to seamlessly connect UbiBot devices to third-party platform business logic or third-party applications. This service requires activation on the UbiBot platform along with some development work on the data endpoint to correctly handle the incoming data feeds: https://www.ubibot.com/platform-api/channel-feeds/2327/channel-data-forwarding/ This page describes the feed summaries API. Each feed summary record consists hourly sum total, average, number of records, standard deviation, maximum and minimum values of each individual field. It is useful for large-scale data analysis usage. There will be 1-2 hours data reading delay as back-end summary processing required: https://www.ubibot.com/platform-api/2735/get-channel-feed-summaries/

What is Humidex?

Humidex is an index to indicate how hot or humid the weather feels to the average person. It is derived by combining temperature and humidity values into one number to reflect the perceived temperature. For example, a humidex of 40 means that the sensation of heat when the temperature is 30 degrees and the air is humid feels more or less the same as when the temperature is 40 degrees and the air is dry. Hourly Humidex values are only displayed when the air temperature is 20C or greater and the humidex value is at least 1 degree greater than the air temperature. The current formula for determining the humidex was developed by J. M. Masterton and F. A. Richardson of Canada's Atmospheric Environment Service in 1979. Humidex differs from the heat index used in the United States in being derived from the dew point rather than the relative humidity, though both dew point and relative humidity (when used in conjunction with air temperature) are directly related to atmospheric moisture.

What is the formula of Humidex?

When the temperature is 30 °C (86 °F) and the dew point is 15 °C (59 °F), the humidex is 34. If the temperature remains 30 °C and the dew point rises to 25 °C (77 °F), the humidex rises to 42. The humidex is higher than the U.S. heat index at equal temperature and relative humidity. The humidex formula is as follows: where

1. H denotes the Humidex
2. Tair is the air temperature in °C
3. Tdew is the dewpoint temperature in °C
4. e = 2.71828

5417.7530 is a rounded constant based on the molecular weight of water, latent heat of evaporation, and the universal gas constant. The humidity adjustment approximately amounts to one Fahrenheit degree for every millibar by which the partial pressure of water in the atmosphere exceeds 10 millibars (10 hPa). At the time the humidex was originally developed in 1965, Canada was still on the Fahrenheit scale, and thus the humidex was originally based on that. The 1979 reformulation, which added the 5⁄9 factor, was largely to address metrication in Canada as the country switched to the Celsius scale.

The Ubibot web console is a secure innovative platform. Here you are given the access to all your devices and custom settings. We offer many features for you, including account profile settings, device sharing, C/F switching, exporting data in CSV/PDF, data forwarding, alerts rules, clearing data or device, IFTTT automation connection, MAC address search, etc. To help you with each detail step, we write all the feature down in a file for reference. Please check the link below. For any problems, please don't hesitate to let us know via [email protected] https://www.ubibot.com/manuals/3256/platform-operation/

Please check the following things:

1. Check that the device is powered on. Press the button to make the device manually sync the data. If the indicator flashes green then the sync is working. If it flashes red once then there is another problem. Try the next steps.
2. Check that the device has sufficient battery power for the WiFi to work. WiFi takes a lot of power — the device may be on, but unable to connect to the WiFi.
3. Make sure your device's WiFi router has a working Internet connection (e.g. try to access www.ubibot.com using a mobile connected to the same WiFi). Without an Internet connection, the device won't be able to connect to the IoT platform.
4. Check that the WiFi connection is working properly, if need be, go through the WiFi setup again.

1. As long as you connect the device to the WiFi network or using mobile data, it will automatically sync data to the platform. The sync frequency is 15 minutes by default. You can change this according to your requirements with the minimal frequency being 1 minute. (*Please note, if the frequency is set too high, the frequent WiFi usage may increase the internal temperature of the device, in which case the measured temperature may be inaccurate. Therefore, we recommend to set the sync frequency to a value higher than 10 minutes.)You can also manually trigger the sync by pressing the power button once. The indicator will flash green for a couple of seconds and you can hear the voice guide.*Remember to enable the sensors you need to use, such as the vibration index sensor and the external temperature (DS18B20) sensor. If you don't turn it on, you will see no data in the readings.
2. If you have any historic data that are not available on the UbiBot device, you can upload your data in a CSV format to our platform. This operation can only be made in your account on the website. You will then be able to view this data on the website. As you see in the following screen, you can also download your history data to your computer in a CSV format or create a PDF report.

Please note. As the full data dump can consume a lot of server resource, to prevent malicious attempt, our platform has a limit of 3 times per month full data dumps.

1. Download the App by following the appropriate link from www.ubibot.com/setup or search for "UbiBot" on the App Store or Google Play.
2. There is an Android apk file available on the website if the app is not available on the play store.

NOTE: The iOS App requires at least iOS version 16 or higher. The Android App needs Android 11 or higher. If your phone / tablet is on running an older version of the OS you won't be able to install the App.

1. Please follow the onscreen instructions to register an account with your email.
2. Please make sure that the email address has never been registered with this App. If you have registered before , you can ask for your password to be reset.
3. See "Account Management" for detailed instructions.

All the sensing data is periodically synced to our platform via WiFi according to the interval you set (default 15 minutes). You can view the latest measurements using the UbiBot App or any browser.You can view the raw data or apply functions such as average, min/max or sum.

You can enable data sharing from the App and from the IoT platform.

1. 1. Using the App

1. 1. • Launch the App and log in.
      • Select the device you want to share and go to the info tab.
      • Click on Sharing and in the search box search for the other user by username, or email.
      • If the user is found, their name and details will be displayed. Click on their name and confirm that you want to share the device with them.

1. Using the IoT platform

• Log in to your account on the platform and locate the correct device.
• In the device information screen select Share and search for the user by email or user name.
• If the system finds a match, select the user and confirm you want to share the device.

*Devices that have been shared with you will appear under the Other tab in the app and on the platform. Devices you have shared with other people will appear under the Shared tab. *To stop sharing the device on the App, locate it in the Shared tab, then swipe to the left and click on the revealed Delete button. Confirm that you want to stop sharing the device.

1. 1. I have set up my device, but I don't see any data on the App or IoT Platform. Why?When the device first connects to the IoT Platform it may not have any data to synchronize. Please check again after 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can trigger a manual data sync by pressing the button once. The device will beep and will flash green for a few seconds. However, remember the device only records sensor data periodically (by default every 5 minutes) so you need to wait at least this long.If the data sync still doesn't work, reset the device and setup the WiFi connection again.

1. My device isn't synchronising with the IoT platform. Why?Please check the following things:
   • Check that the device is powered on. Press the button and listen for a beep. This will make the device manually sync the data. If the indicator flashes green, then the sync is working. If it flashes red once then there is another problem. Try the next steps.
   • Check that the device has sufficient battery power for the WiFi to work. WiFi takes a lot of power -- the device may be on, but unable to connect to the WiFi. If you have access to recent readings from the device, check if the voltage has dropped below 2.6v. If so, try changing the batteries.
   • Make sure your device's WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubibot.com using a mobile connected to the same WiFi). Without an Internet connection, the device won't be able to connect to the IoT platform.
   • Check that the WiFi connection is working properly, if need be, go through the WiFi setup again.

By default your device will take readings every 5 minutes and will sync with the IoT Platform every 15 minutes. The measurement and data sync frequency can be changed under the device Settings tab in the App. Remember, the more frequently it syncs, the shorter your battery life. And if the frequency is set too high, the frequent WiFi usage may increase the internal temperature of the device, in which case the measured temperature may be inaccurate. Therefore, we recommend to set the sync frequency to a value higher than 10 minutes and the measurement frequency to the same or shorter interval than the data sync.

You can manage your alerts in the Rules page in the App. Tap on the "+" to add a new alert. If you want to delete any alert, simply long-press the alert and then click the 'trash can' icon that appears next to it. NOTE: The "Default Offline Alert" can only be turned off. It cannot be deleted. Alert Metric: You can set alerts for any of the metrics shown below. The voltage indicates the remaining battery in the device. Typically, when this drops below 2.6v, it's not able to support WiFi and hence data sync, alerts and wireless setup won't work. Modes of Alerts: We offer multiple channels to send alerts, including in-App notifications, emails, SMS texts, voice call and web notifications. You can configure any combination of these via the UbiBot ® App or using the IoT portal. Please note that the SMS and voice call alerts will cost you credits from your balance. The precise fee depends on the network provider of the receiving number. This cost can be checked when you set up the alerts or on our pricing page.
