4 Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Powersoft DEVA.
DEVA is a lightweight and compact multifunctional
device that implements bi-directional wireless
communication, audio messaging and video
capturing.
Once congured, DEVA is a self-sufcient device
equipped with sensors – microphone, presence
detector, temperature and pressure probes – and
accessories (e.g. LED light, camera, etc.) that make
it capable to interact with the environment through
the built in loudspeaker and audio/video capturing
feature.
DEVA has been designed to be independent from
any existing infrastructure, without the need for
wiring and with virtually zero installation costs. DEVA
uses green technologies: its highly efcient design
limits power consumption allowing uninterrupted
use powered by the internal rechargeable battery;
a latest generation solar panel can quickly recharge
the battery even in low light conditions.
DEVA's enclosure is weather-resistant IP65,
an ideal solution for outdoor applications from
background music to paging, in combination with
video and/or audio surveillance.
DEVA provides bi-directional messaging and
ambient control; DEVA allows conguration and
monitoring via WiFi as well as wired Ethernet
connections to tablets, pc and mobile phones.
Remote control is available via GSM/GPRS/UMTS.
DEVA is a self-sufcient fully congurable
networking unit that can be installed anywhere!
5 DEVA in a glance
DEVA is capable to perform tasks and react
to cer tain events on the basis of a scheduled
program and an event list. The interaction with the
environment triggers a set of actions spanning from
sound playback to taking pictures. In systems with
more than one DEVA, scheduled actions – such as
playing audio les – are synchronized by means of
the DEVA System Manager, the control pannel that
provides full management of DEVA, installed into
the Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD.
The DEVA System Manager allows you to stream
live announcements and audio les to all selected
DEVA as well as set:
f time schedule for actions:
f
Light – switch the light on or off.
f
Play message – play a le in the default
audio les list.
f
Play from Audio library – play a le from
the audio library.
f

7 Actions and Players
7.1 Actions
Depending on the version, DEVA performs a set
of dened actions:
f Play audio
f Switch the light
f Take photo
f Record audio
f Notify with a message (sms/email)
7.2 Players
DEVA provides four audio players that manage
respectively:
1. live stream of audio
2. playback of single audio le
3. playback FM radio
4. playlist of audio les
The four players can be active at the same time,
but only two of them will play simultaneously,
according to their priority:
live stream > single le > FM radio > playlist
hiG h pri ori ty > low p rio ri ty
The four audio players are layered on the basis of
the playback priority:
f the playback of a live streaming (either an audio
le or from the microphone) has the priority on
the playback of an audio le from the library;
f the playback of a single audio le has the priority
on the playback of the FM radio;
f the playback of an FM radio has the priority on
the playback of a playlist.
The player with the lower priority plays in
background (i.e. lower in volume) when a high
priority player starts playing.
NOTE: The default behaviour can be overridden
by changing the volume level during the playback.
Each player provides independent volume control.
The playback volume of each player is a fracion
(expressed in percentage) of the master volume.

Getting Started
Before proceeding to the placement of the
DEVA on site (ref. Chapter “32 Mounting kits”),
we recommend to setup the device by following
the assembling and initialization procedure “on the
desk ”.
The initialization phase can involve the manual
setup of the device; once properly initialized and
congured, DEVA has been designed to be selfoperating and remotely managed.
The initialization workow includes:
1. battery assembly on the DEVA;
2. SIM assembly;
3. DEVA start-up;
4. initialization of the connections (networking);
We suggest to follows the instruction on this
manual in order to properly setup the DEVA.
12 Battery assembly
DEVA comes with a battery pack already located
into its battery compartment (ref. FIGURE 6). The
battery pack shall be properly connected before
operating.
1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Verify that the battery presents no failures.
3. Plug the battery:
f
connect the red + (positive) faston to the
battery’s positive plug (beware the 4 A fuse);
f
connect the black – (negative) faston to the
battery’s negative plug.
4. Place the battery temperature probe wherever
into the battery compartment, far from the
electric plugs.
5. Reposition the compartment cover and tightly
screw the six hex screws.
In order to ensure full operability,
Powersoft recommends to fully charge the battery
before starting the initialization procedure.
The battery charge can be achieved by means of
either:
f an external power supply capable to deliver 20
V
DC
and up to 3 A
max
(e.g. solar panel , DC power
supply unit, etc.) connected to the Phoenix MC
1,5/ 2-ST-3,81 (ref. FIGURE 1 #15);
f a 16 V
DC
, 1 A
max
power supply plugged to the
5.5 mm coaxial plug (ref. FIGURE 1 #8);

14 Start-up
Once the battery has been properly assembled
(ref. Chapter “12 Battery assembly”), the DEVA can
be switched on. By default, DEVA starts-up when
any external power supply (i.e. solar panel, DC
power supply unit, PoE) is plugged in.
When the DEVA is connected to an external
power supply, the system starts charging the internal
battery: when the power supply delivers more than
12 V
DC
the DEVA starts-up automatically.
In approximatively 90 seconds the operating
system completes the bootstrap procedure and
makes the device ready to work. During the
bootstrap you can hear a long beep coming from
the DEVA: the presence of this signal means that the
system is booting.
14.1 DEVA start-up without external power supply
In case no power supply is available and DEVA
is off, you can switch on the DEVA by means of the
ON/OFF button (ref. FIGURE 9).
1. Push on the ON/OFF button and keep it
pressed:
2. the green LED switch solid on;
3. still keep the ON/OFF button pressed until the
green LED start blinking (5 s approximatively);
4. release the ON/OFF push button: the
bootstrap procedure takes place and a long
beep is emitted.
Be aware that the start-up procedure without
power supply will not take place if the battery
charge is below 12 V
DC
.
13 SIM card assembly
DEVA supports GSM and GPRS communication
protocols via a standard SIM – Subscriber Identity
Module – card
*
. Follows these instructions in order
to install the SIM card.

16 USB MP3 playback
The playback from the USB override any audio
playing on the DEVA: in order to start the playback
of the les from a USB device you have to press
simultaneously the SEEK+ and SEEK– push button
on the DEVA dashboard.
The actual scheduled action does not stop: while
the USB audio content is playing, any scheduled
playlist runs to the 30% of its preset volume.
In order to allow DEVA to reproduce the MP3
les from the USB, the audio les shall be stored
in the Aud ioFiles folder in the root of the USB
storage device.
DEVA can play only MP3 les, no other le

17 Networking
DEVA can be set as a stand alone device or
integrated into any existing wired, wireless or mixed
network. A proper network setup includes:
f Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD. The PDD
is a personal computer implementing a custom
GNU/Linux based operating system: the PDD
provides a client-server environment that
allows the user to easily manage the network
of DEVA.
Both the DEVA and the PDD must be
connected to the same network; this means
that all devices have to be either hosted by the
same Wi-Fi access point or wired to the same
thernet switch and sharing the same subnet and
IP range.
f DHCP server (often already implemented into
routers and acces point). Both the DEVA and
the PDD are set to dynamic IP addressing.
f Ethernet switching (often already implemented
into routers and acces point) with a proper
number of ports for wired connectivity;
f Wi-Fi access point for wireless connectivity;
f One or more DEVA.
In the following pictures we suggest some network
topologies oriented to a domestic environment,
where the router/AP implements both the DHCP
server and the Ethernet switch.
17.1 DEVA in a wireless LAN
DEVA and the PDD are connected wireless to
the access point. Any fur ther client on the wireless
network can manage the network of DEVA: in order
for the client to manage a DEVA it must to connect
to the PDD.
17.1.1 Mesh network
DEVA can connect to a mesh network, so that to
cooperate in the distribution of data in the network.
In a mesh network topology, each DEVA is a node
that relays data on the network, providing multiple
connections to other DEVA in the mesh.

18 Initialization
The initialization is performed by means of the
PDD – Powersoft DEVA Director –, by connecting
the DEVA to the local network through a wired or
wireless connection.
You may need the following equipment:
f Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD;
f DHCP ser ve r or a rou ter with DHCP capab ilit y;
f switch with a proper number of ports for wired
connections;
f access point – AP – for wireless operating.
18.1 Initialization in a wireless LAN
By default DEVA tries to connect to a Wi-Fi
network whose SSID is set to POWERSOFT.
In order to perform the initialization procedure
we recommend to set your AP as follow.
1. Connect the PDD and the AP to the same
LAN (wired or wireless): ensure that they
share the same IP range.
2. Log-in the PDD and launch the browser.
3. Point your browser to the IP address of the
access point and enter its control panel.
4. Modify the SSID of the access point to
“POWERSOFT” and password “powersoft”.
Save and reboot the access point. While
rebooting you will loose the connection: after
some second, refresh the page on the browser
and reconnect to the AP.
5. By default DEVA looks for the POWERSOFT
Wi-Fi network. Through the AP control panel
you should monitor all connected devices.
17.2 DEVA in a wired LAN
Both the DEVA and the PDD must be connected
to the switch. The DHCP on board of the router
assign a unique IP address to each DEVA and PDD in
order for them to belong to the same subnet.
Through the PDD it is possible to manage the
network of DEVA, set schedules and events, monitor
the performance and launch an announcement on
specied DEVA.
Refer to Chapter “27 Advanced network
settings” for more information on how to congure
the DEVA network parameters and the PDD in
order to match your network environment.

18.2 Initialization in a wired LAN
In order to perform the initialization procedure
in a wired network environment, all devices have to
be connected to a DHCP server (possibly through
an Ethernet switch) in order to receive unique IP
addresses within the same subnet.
1. Connect the PDD and the DHCP server to
the same network: ensure that they share
the same IP range, i.e. the PDD receives its IP
address from the local DHCP server.
2. Connect each DEVA to the same network of
your PDD and switch them on (ref. Chapter
“14 Star t-up”).
3. Now follow the same procedure described in
Chapter “18.1 Initialization in a wireless LAN”
starting from point 6.
6. Open the DEVA System Manager:
on the browser address-bar write
http://localhost:8080
7. Log in the DEVA System Manager: the
administrator account has the following default
credentials:
username: admin
password: admin
Once logged in, the DEVA System Manager
shows the latest saved network conguration:
since you are going to initialize your network, no
one DEVA is listed.
8. Click the button Discovery on the Toolbar : the
DEVA System Manager will star t seeking and
connecting new devices on the network.
Now you can star t setting DEVA.

of the system are available just through the DEVA
dashboard.
The DSM offers a user friendly interface for
setting time schedules for actions, event triggers and
full access to DEVA features (ref. Chapter “5 DEVA
in a glance”).
19 Setting users permissions
By assign roles to registered users, it is possible
to control what users can do through the DEVA
System Manager.
Each registered user belongs to just one role.

27 Advanced network settings
You can manage your network directly from the
PDD or through any external client (e.g. a laptop or
an iPad) connected to the network of DEVA since
the PDD implements a web server providing remote
access to the DEVA System Manager.
In order to remotely manage the DEVA you need
to connect the client to the PDD: as well as you
connect to a website on internet through a web
client, you need to know the PDD IP address. The
IP address of the PDD can be discovered by means
of the Network Manager installed on the operating
system.
27.1 Setting PDD network parameters
At the end of the initialization procedure the
DEVA System Manager has discovered the DEVA
within the network.
By means of the Dynamic Host Conguration
Protocol – DHCP –, each DEVA and the PDD own
a unique dynamic IP address: this conguration
allows an easy network initialization, since minimizes
conguration errors and IP address conicts.
Static IP addressing can be restricted to a subset
of devices: you can mix static and dynamic clients on
the same network as long as you avoid using static
IP addresses within the numeric range where the
router/DHCP-server is likely to issue its addresses.
Refer to your router/DHCP server user manual
for dynamic addressing conguration.
27.1.1 Setting PDD’s static IP
In order to set a static IP address on your PDD
you have to deal with the network manager provided
by the GNU/Linux operating system.
1. Press on the network icon on the top panel
and select Edit Connections... on the pop-up
menu.
2. The Network Connections windows opens:
into the Wired tab select Eth0 and press on
the Edit button (ref. FIGURE 35).
3. A new dialog window will appear where you
can set the main parameters of the wired
connection: select the IPv4 tab in order to
set a static IP address for the PDD wired
connection.
FIGURE 35: Edit Eth0 properties.
FIGURE 36: Select IPv4 manual conguration and
set static IP address.
Page 27
Setting DEVA | 27
4. Select Manual on the addressing Method
dropdown menu.
5. Manually insert:

IP subnet
(e.g. 192.168.10.10)
f
Netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
f
Gateway: same as the IP address (e.g.
192.168.10.10)
Be aware to select a static IP address within the
router/DHCP-server IP subnet, otherwise you
could loose the link with the DEVA connected to
the PDD network.

27.3 Conguring a WiFi mesh network
You can congure the DEVA to establish a WiFi
mesh network. One of the DEVA in the mesh acts
as gateway, i.e. it routes data between networks, and
is networked to the same subnet to which the PDD
belongs; all other DE VA in the mesh are WiFi nodes.
27.3.1 Setting DEVA as Gateway
The DEVA gateway establish the WiFi mesh
network and allows the PDD to connect to the
mesh. The DEVA gateway shall be connected to the
wired LAN to which the PDD belongs.
In order for the nodes to recognize the mesh, the
WiFi network SSID must be set.

27.4 Revert to DEVA default network settings
The Hard-reset (ref. Chapter “29.2 Hard-
reset”) of the DEVA allows to restore the default
network settings. The position of the Wi-Fi default
setting selector located on the DEVA dashboard (ref.
FIGURE 45) denes the network conguration the
DEVA will revert to.
27.4.1 Wi-Fi intrastructure mode
In a wireless network environment, DEVA is set
by default to connect to a Wi-Fi network as a client,
i.e. in infrastructure mode. An external access point
(AP) is required for infrastructure mode wireless
networking. Infrastructure mode networks offer
the advantage of scalability and centralized security
management.
To join the Wi-Fi network, the AP and all wireless
clients must be congured to use the same SSID:
DEVA SSID is set by default to POWERSOFT (ref.
Chapter “17.1 DEVA in a wireless LAN”).
f Wireless Infrastructure mode default settings:
SSID: POWERSOFT
Default AP password: powersoft
IP addressing: DHCP
27.4.2 Wi-Fi access point mode
By means of the Wi-Fi default setting selector
located on the DEVA dashboard (ref. FIGURE 45)
it is possible to switch the default Wi-Fi network
mode to Access Point mode.
DEVA is capable to behave as an AP and host
up to 5 clients such as the PDD or other DEVA. By
default the DEVA AP SSID is composed by the word
deva-ap and the hex MAC address of the DEVA,
e.g. d eva-ap-008421001C6A .
Wireless Access Point mode is available only
when wireless infrastructure mode is disabled.
DEVA Wi-Fi is IEEE 802.11n compliant and can
operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
f Wireless Access Point mode default setting:
SSID: deva-<devaMAC>
*
Default AP password: powersoft
IP addressing: static 192.168.0.1
DHCP: active
* <devaM AC> is the hexadecimal MAC address
of the device.
A label with the DEVA’s MAC address is attached
on the internal side of the battery compartment
cover.

Reset and reboot
Very seldom you may need to restart the DEVA.
Most of the problems related to schedules and
event management can be solved through the DEVA
System Manager.
DEVA provides reboot and reset procedures:
the reboot procedure is meant to be useful during

playlists), events and data (e.g. audio les) are kept
and restored after rebooting.
On the System view you will see that the DEVA
loses the connection with the PDD while booting
and hooks again at the end of the process.
29 DEVA reset
DEVA implements two reset procedures: soft-
and hard-reset. The soft-reset restores the device
to the factory network preset; the hard-reset brings
the DEVA to its factory settings by restoring the
factory rmware and the factory network preset.
Both reset procedures preserve the data stored
into the DEVA. At the end of the reset procedure the
DEVA loses the connection with the PDD and shall
be initialized (refer to Chapter “18 Initialization”).
29.1 Soft-reset

A Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD
The Powersoft DEVA Director – PDD – is a
personal computer implementing a custom GNU/
Linux based operating system: the PDD provides
a client-server environment that allows the user to
easily manage the network of DEVA.
Both the DEVA and the PDD must be connected
to the same network; this means that all devices have
to be either hosted by the same Wi-Fi access point
or wired and sharing the same subnet and IP range.
The web server built in the PDD provides access
to the DEVA System Manager both via the PDD
itself and any external web client.
Once congured, DEVA is meant to work stand
alone, even if the connection with the PDD falls.
In systems with more than one DEVA the PDD is
essential to synchronize the audio playback.
A.1 Minimum system requirements for PDD
PDD can be installed on a personal computer
with the following minimum characteristics:
f Intel i3 processor;
f 4 GB RAM;
f 100 GB hard drive.
The pc would be formatted and inizialized with
the PDD OS.
Powersoft provides an optional pre-congured
PDD laptop ready to work.
B DEVA System Manager – DSM
DEVA System Manager is the web application
running on the PDD that provides control,
monitoring and conguration of the network of
DEVA.
DEVA System Manager is scalable: it lets you
control a single Powersoft DEVA or congure a very
large network of multiple devices.
DEVA System Manager is a client that can be
accessed directly from the web browser on the
PDD and any registered client (e.g. a laptop or an
iPad) on the same network of the PDD.
