ControlByWeb Cloud Quick Start Guide

ControlByWeb Cloud

The ControlByWeb Cloud makes monitoring and controlling remote devices much easier. You
can add as many I/O devices as you need by purchasing Device Seats, and each device can have
various end points such as sensors, switches, or other ControlByWeb modules attached at no
additional cost. You can use a few cloud compatible devices to connect many end points which
provide centralized monitoring of vast networks of sensor.

This quick start guide shows you how to create a cloud account, how to add Device Seats, and how
to add I/O devices. For additional information, visit: www.ControlByWeb.com/cloud/
