Digi-SE In-Home Display

Overview

Use the In-Home Display feature to view additional information about the gateway and other devices on your ZigBee network.

With this feature, you can do the following:

Requirements

Make sure your Digi Smart Energy gateway is connected to Device Cloud. See Getting Started for more information.

Initialize In-Home Display

  1. Sign in to https://digi-se.appspot.com. This is the same user name and password you use to sign in to Device Cloud.

  2. Go to Network > In-Home Display and select your Digi gateway from the Gateway menu.

The In-Home Display window displays widgets that contain information about devices on your network. If no widgets load, make sure that your gateway is connected to Device Cloud and running the Smart Energy Framework.

Time Widget

The time widget is always displayed on the In-Home Display page (see Time Synchronization for more information). This widget has the following fields:

Date/Time - Current time according to the gateway. This time is synchronized to NTP by the Operating Sytem on the gateway.

UTC 2000 - Seconds since Jan 1st, 2000. This time is the network time and is based on the master time source on the ZigBee network. That may be the Digi gateway, or it may be another device on the network.

You can also expand the widget to access the following buttons:

Update - Send the get_time command. This command re-reads the time from the gateway.

Sync - Send the sync_time command. This command tells the gateway to re-synchronize its time.

The meter will display “Invalid” when the value is the ZCL invalid value. This can happen when a meter has not been initialized or if a Digi ERT device has not received a reading from the ERT meter yet.
