Assets
The KentixONE app automatically creates all necessary asset templates and assets (CAC), which are accessible via the configured endpoints. The following asset templates are created:
KentixONE Alarm Manager (KAM): a central monitoring and control system that integrates and manages various security components such as intrusion detection systems, fire alarm systems, and access control systems in a building.
KentixONE Multi Sensor (KMS): a versatile sensor that can measure various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and vibrations, enabling comprehensive monitoring and early detection of potential dangers in buildings.
KentixONE Access Manager (KXP): an access control system that makes it possible to efficiently control and monitor access to buildings and rooms by managing permissions, schedules, and logs.
Doorlock (DL): an electronic door lock that is used in conjunction with the Kentix Access Manager to control access to rooms or buildings.

Configuration
More information on configuring apps can be found ↗ here.
The KentixONE app is configured by setting up one or more Kentix devices as endpoints. It is possible to operate the devices in satellite or management mode. In satellite mode, the devices are available via the alarm manager. Devices in management mode can be accessed directly.
Each endpoint requires the following data:
address
IP address or hostname of the KentixONE device.
apiKey
KentixONE API key.
enable
Flag to enable or disable fetching from this device.
refreshInterval
Interval in seconds for collecting data from the device.
requestTimeout
Timeout in seconds.
assetFilter
Filter for CAC with regular expressions for parameter values. The expressions in the inner lists are logically AND-linked, and the lists themselves are OR-linked.
active
Is set to "true" by the app when it is running, and to "false" when the app is stopped.
projectIDs
List of project IDs for which assets are automatically created (CAC)
Endpoints can be created in Eliona using this structure under Apps > KentixONE > Setting . To do this, the endpoint /configs with the method PUT must be selected.
