Introduction
The Didactum web interface provides users with a powerful and intuitive platform for managing and monitoring a wide range of devices, sensors, and environmental systems. It is designed for ease of use while offering advanced features for real-time control and automation.
The web interface is integrated into every Didactum monitoring system and is accessible via an IP address.
Key Features:
- Dashboard Overview: Users can monitor live data from connected sensors and devices, gaining immediate insight into environmental conditions, power supply systems, and other critical parameters.
- Customizable Alerts and Notifications: Alarms can be configured to trigger email or SMS notifications, enabling timely responses to system events or failures.
- Logical Circuits: The interface allows users to create logical automation circuits to automate actions based on specific triggers (e.g., shutting down devices when a temperature threshold is exceeded).
- Historical Data and Logs: Access detailed logs of events and sensor data, which are helpful for system audits, performance analysis, and troubleshooting.
- Multi-User Access: Provides different permission levels for multiple users, ensuring secure and organized management across teams.
- Remote Management: The web interface is accessible remotely, allowing users to manage and monitor systems from anywhere.
