LightFi Dashboard/Portal
The LightFi Dashboard can be found at https://portal.lightfi.io
You require a login to use the dashboard, user accounts will be created for your organisation with your initial sensor purchase. Additional accounts can be created by the Admin user(s) of you organisation.
General Concepts
Choosing the location
Use the selector in the top left to choose your location. Each location can have sub-locations, this is usually indicated by an "ALL" drop-down, use the drop-down to select the sub-location you are particularly interested in. Repeat the process if you want to keep going to more more specific locations. A typical location structure may be something like:
- Organisation Name > Site > Building > Floor
Data sources
You can add or remove data you are interested in using the "Sources" button. For example if you are interested in viewing Occupancy but not Environmental data, you can add WiFi Occupancy and Motion Events but remove Temperature.
List of possible data sources:
| Source Name | Example Value | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| BACnet | 10 | count | number of BMS queries of this sensor in the last period |
| Battery | 90 | % | approximate percentage of battery remaining for battery powered sensors |
| Bluetooth Occupancy | 20 | count | number of occupancy indicating devices observed on BLE |
| CO₂ | 850 | ppm | Carbon Dioxide concentration (parts per million) |
| Humidity | 50.0 | % | relative humidity of the air |
| Light level | 20.0 | arbitrary | measured light level |
| Motion Events | 1 | arbitrary | Used to display data from PIR motion sensors. |
| Online Status | Online | none | Indicates the status of the sensor |
| Pollutants | 10 | µg/m³ | particulate matter level (PM2.5) |
| Pressure | 1000 | mBar | measured air pressure |
| Temperature | 20.1 | ℃ | measured temperature |
| Thermal Signatures | 2 | count | Used for HAL sensors to indicate number/position of detected people in field of view of the sensors |
| Volatile Organic Compounds | 1000 | ppb | measured Volatile Organic Compounds concentration in parts per billion |
| WiFi Occupancy | 20 | count | number of occupancy indicating devices observed on WiFi |

You can change your password from the "User Profile" screen.
Setting Two Factor Authentication (2FA / MFA)
You can setup two factor authentication for your login on the "User Profile" screen. You should use a TOTP application such as Google Authenticator or Password Manager for iPhone/Mac to set this up.
Views
Dashboard Screen
Shows detailed live data for the selected location (drop-downs include sub-locations, map only shows the current location).
Compare Screen
Used to graph different data and compare them. Data sources, sensors and time range you would like to compare data over. Can also generate a report for the selected data and time range by selecting "Show Report" button.
Calendar View Screen
Used to view longer term metric data for a selected Data Source (click on the selector on the Map to change selected data). Can be used to compare typical values for Weekdays i.e. averaging all Mondays together etc. or to compare days in a calendar format.
Summary Screen
Simplified live information about current conditions in a location. Useful for mobile phone view.
Sensor Info
Information about different sensor types.
Configuration Screen (Admin)
Used to configure sensors and locations.
