Cable which connects the IoT device to the coffee machine’s flow meters. One cable is required for a 1-2 grouphead machine, two cables for a 3-4 grouphead machine.

...

...

Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter

When the Flow Gateway needs to be connected to a WiFi Wi-Fi network for access to the Internet a separate WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet (wired) network adapter is required.

...

IoT device assembly

The Flow Gateway, WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter, and power supplies are assembled
in the same location (usually under the bench where the coffee machine is) and the
Flow meter cable(s) are routed from there into the coffee machine.

...

Prerequisite site requirements

  • An Ethernet or WiFi Wi-Fi network which is accessible from the location of the coffee machine

  • Outbound access from the Ethernet or WiFi Wi-Fi network to

    • a14v6cnrny0bel-ats.iot.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com on port 443 TCP (HTTP and MQTT over TLS)

    • At least one of the following addresses, on port 123 UDP (NTP):

      • 0.asia.pool.ntp.org

      • 0.europe.pool.ntp.org

      • 0.id.pool.ntp.org

      • 0.south-america.pool.ntp.org

      • 0.oceania.pool.ntp.org

      • 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org

  • A suitable mounting location for the Flow Gateway the coffee machine (usually under the counter)
    Nb. The supplied Flow meter cable is 3 meters long, so depending on the routing of the cable within the coffee machine, this allows for installing the Flow Gateway approximately 1.5-2 meters away from the coffee machine

  • AC power outlet near the location of the coffee machine for the Flow Gateway power supply (usually under the counter)
    Nb. The Flow Gateway power supply cable is 1 meter long

  • If the Flow Gateway will be connected via a WiFi Wi-Fi network:
    A second AC power outlet near the location of the coffee machine for the WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter
    Nb. The TP-Link TL-WA850RE may not fit in a power outlet adjacent to another plug. It is 66mm wide, and extends 85mm above the centre of plug and 25mm below the centre of the plug.

...

  • Flow Gateway

  • Flow Gateway power supply

  • For a 1-2 grouphead coffee machine:

    • 1x Flow meter cable

  • For a 3-4 grouphead coffee machine

    • 2x Flow meter cables

  • Appropriate Flow meter cable adapters for the type of coffee machine that the Flow Gateway will be connected to - see Coffee machine flow meter connector variations

  • If the Flow Gateway will be using a wired internet connection:

    • Ethernet network cable of a suitable length for the site

  • If the Flow Gateway will be using WiFi Wi-Fi to connect to the internet:

    • WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter (comes with power supply and 0.5m Ethernet cable)

    • Computer, tablet or smartphone with a WiFi Wi-Fi network connection

  • Cable ties

  • High strength double sided foam tape - eg. 3M VHB Double Sided Foam Adhesive

  • Tools for removing the appropriate covers from the coffee machine to access the flow meters

...

  1. Route the cable(s) through the service hole in the bottom of the coffee machine then to where the Flow Gateway will be located.

  2. Secure the cable(s) inside the coffee machine so that cannot touch any hot components like water piping or the boiler, and so that it cannot be dislodged if it is pulled from outside of the coffee machine.

  3. Plug the Flow meter cable(s) into the Flow Gateway.

4. Setup and install the

...

Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter (If required)

If a wired internet connection is not available setup the external WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter.

Depending on what region you are in you will have been supplied with one of the following models, follow the link below the image to see setup instructions specific to the model you have been supplied:

WiFi to Ethernet adapter installation - TP-Link TL-WA850RE

5. Plug in the Flow Gateway

  1. Connect the Ethernet cable (from the sites network outlet or the WiFi Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter) to the Flow Gateway.

  2. Install the Flow Gateway power supply, secure the cable, and connect to the device.

  3. Ensure that the power light on the front panel of the Flow Gateway is illuminated and that the Ethernet light (green light on the Ethernet jack) is illuminated.
    Nb. It is normal for the connection (globe icon) light on the front panel not to be illuminated when using an Ethernet connection.
