In this groov workshop
00:06
I'll show you how to get started with
your new groov box.
00:10
I've already unpacked the box including this quick
start guide
00:14
which we'll follow in this video.
00:15
As step one mentions I'll need a
computer with a modern web browser
00:19
and also an Opto 22 PAC running modern
firmware
00:23
or an OPC UA server like KEPServerEX
00:27
from Kepware shown in other videos in
later steps we'll need this
00:31
activation key and the serial number and
default hostname shown here
00:37
first connect ETH 0
00:40
to a network that has DHCP and DNS
00:44
like the one in this building then
connect power
00:47
now I'll press this button firmly until
we see green LED's
00:52
your link activity light should be
blinking too
00:55
next we'll use a modern browser to
activate and set up a box
01:00
I'm using Firefox navigate to
01:08
I'll login with my email address and my MyOpto 22 password
01:14
click Go enter the activation key
01:18
and click Go and my groov is now
activated
01:22
I'll click down here on enter serial
number
01:26
which is the first step in getting my
license file
01:29
here's where I typed that six digit
number from the bottom of the box
01:33
and one more time to verify then click
submit
01:38
now I can click here and get license
file
01:41
to download that file somewhere I can
find later since our groov box has been
01:47
we have downloaded the license file
we're ready to connect using just a
01:53
we're going to apply a license file
create some accounts
01:56
and start building pages I just knew
that default hostname
02:00
found on the bottom of the box here in
the address line in my browser
02:08
and the s is important here because
we're making a secure connection to the
02:16
type ://opto dash and
the rest of your particular default
02:23
I'll get the security warning
02:26
which may look different in your browser
I'll accept the security warnings to
02:32
next I'll see this welcome to groov page
02:35
if you're not getting here your network
set up may be different
02:40
check the groov box users guide on our
CD
02:44
or our website also remember product
support is free
02:48
now we're going to create two user
name password combinations
02:52
the first is for groov admin used to
administer the physical groov box
02:58
from admin you can do things like change
network settings
03:02
and apply updates the second user name
and password
03:06
will be one of many you have as part of
your groov project
03:09
these log ins let you decide who has what access to the different pages
03:13
you'll build in your project let's go
ahead and create this initial groov box
03:18
admin account confirm any additional
security warnings
03:23
I'll type my username/password
03:27
and confirm the password again don't
forget this user name and password
03:33
if you do you'll have to reset the box
back to factory defaults
03:37
next click Create groov admin account
03:43
okay so we've created our groov admin
account now we're ready to start
03:47
administering this box
03:48
starting with installing that license
file we downloaded earlier
03:52
without the license file you can still
use groov in trial mode
03:56
I'll install that license file
04:00
and now we're ready to start building
our project starting with the first user
04:05
I'll type the username password password
again
04:09
then create groov build account now
I'm here in groov build
04:15
this is your development environment
down here
04:19
we'll add our pages which will show up here
and in this canvas area
04:23
there's the desktop and tablet tab with
this handheld have
04:27
where we can arrange gadgets for the
smaller handheld devices
04:31
like a smartphone down here we select
gadgets to put on each page
04:36
either by choosing the gadget first or
starting from the tag
04:40
with this tab let's get some tags to
display
04:43
these can come from an Opto 22 PAC
04:46
or just about anywhere via an OPC UA server
04:50
we recommend Kepware's for accessing
non Opto 22 PACs
04:54
I'm using their free KEPServerEX trial
04:58
downloaded through groov.com I'll show you the OPC UA option
05:03
first select configure
05:07
devices and tags from either here or
here
05:11
click add OPC UA server
05:14
give it a name then the name or IP address
of your server
05:19
: and port number click add server
05:22
to connect directly from groov to a PAC
05:26
click add Opto 22 controller type the
controllers
05:30
address and browse to that controllers ID
B.txt file
05:35
this text file is generated by PAC
Control when you compile or download your
05:41
and the same folder as the strategy
itself I'll browse to a copy of that
05:46
then click import and close
05:50
now I'll have lots of tags to choose from
but before I connect these tags to
05:55
I need a place to put them so I'll create my
first page
05:59
click add page here on the left
06:02
I'll name this first one home click OK
06:06
now I'm ready to add a gadget I can do
this from the bottom right here in groov
06:13
either starting by selecting a tag or
from this gadget tab
06:17
then I can either double-click the
gadget I want
06:20
or click and hold to drag and drop it
onto the page
06:24
now since I haven't yet selected a tag
06:27
I'll go up here in the top right to my
gadget properties
06:31
and choose from my PAC strategy tags
I'll select my store temperature here
06:37
then adjust the min and max properties
06:42
for those round gauge add an optional
redline time zone
06:46
for when it gets too hot I'll make the
start value
06:50
eighty degrees and the end value ninety and change the color to red
06:55
now let's check it out I'll switch to groov view
06:59
by choosing file save all and switch to groov view
07:02
it's just that easy I'm looking at my
store temperature
07:05
to switch back to groov build
I'll click on this gear here
07:09
in the top right corner notice here at
the top
07:15
I'm in the desktop and tablet tab
07:18
on this handheld tab a slightly
different handheld version of this
07:22
automatically built for me check this
out
07:26
if I add another gadget on this desktop
version of the page
07:29
then click on the handheld tab
07:32
I have all the same gadgets but I can
now arrange them how I want
07:37
for handheld devices see how nicely that
scales
07:41
that's why we say groov is made for
mobile
07:45
