There is a new Version of the OPUS20 app in the AppStore today. We improved the OPUS20 app to operate more robustly in complex networks:
We recommend this minor update for usage in unstable or WAN networks where network errors can occur. Just download the latest version of the OPUS20 app and install it on your I-BOX
Today we released an app update for the OPUS20 app – Version 1.1.0. This update works also in networks where network problems occur frequently. In the configuration settings the deactivation of the device after 5 consecutive connection errors (default behavior) can be switched off. To operate the Lufft I-BOX in harsh network environments we recommend to use this new option.
To update an existing OPUS20 app, please download the app, get an activation key and install it in the apps menue.
Sensors translate environmental values into data. The result is called measurement value. But measurement value have to fulfil certain purposes an thus undergo a complex transformation process: scaling, checking, comparing, transforming, storing, reporting,…
We compare 3 methods how this transformation processcan be organized. As an example we take the temperature documentation of a climate chamber in a database.
Method 1: USB data logger with pc software
Method 2: individual application written for database integration
Method 3: Integration using the Lufft I-BOX
| Methode 1: USB data logger with pc software |
Methode 2: Indiv. application |
Methode 3: Integration using Lufft I-BOX |

| Required devices |
data logger pc software application |
data logger database server software application (e.g. script) an a server |
Sensor (with Ethernet) Lufft I-BOX database server |
| Configuration | refer to data logger and aoftware manual |
software development |
App configuration |
| Pros | convenient method | highly configurable |
Plug-And-Play. Cost effective. Flexible. |
| Cons | PC is not made for server applications (restart, failover, etc.). Capabilities are lmitied, see data logger and software manual. |
Software development and maintenance is depending on the availability of the developer. The solution is hard to reuse. |

The Lufft I-BOX delvers a new way to integration sensors in processes. The best method for an integration scenario depends on the given technical and business requirements.
Checkout the Lufft I-BOX and the Apps on how to build your integration scenario.
The latest App in the App-Store allows to measure date and time units (seconds, minuts, …). This App helps to simplify post processing with OUT-Apps by delivering measured values that are easy to determine in test cases. Or just play with this App as an IN-App if there is no read IN-device connected to your Lufft I-BOX.
The timegen IN-App is provided for free. More info and the download can be found here.
There’s a new App in the App-Store: 7-Digit Display. Using this App a measured value is dsplayed in a web browser with the outline of a seven digit display mounted on a acrylic glass plate.
The app is provided free of charge and can be downloaded here.
There are many scenarios where either metadata or measured data must be available in Microsoft Office (e.g. Word or Excel). We provide some examples how to get data out of the Lufft L-BOX – with and without programming skills. Please see our updated pages
for first experiences on data wrangling with your Lufft I-BOX.
The Lufft I-BOX App-Store is now open. In the Lufft I-BOX App-Store you can find apps to enhance the new Lufft I-BOX measuring gateway on demand. There are free and paid apps available in different categories. Today we start with a small set of apps. New apps will be released in the next weeks.
The Lufft I-BOX App-Store will help the Lufft I-BOX to grow in new application scenarios and to make measuring tasks a lot more easy. Using apps, the integration of measuring devices will no longer be a software development job but gets a simple one-klick task.
G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH and Ondics GmbH are operating the Lufft I-BOX App-Store as a joint venture. The payment management is delivered by Ondics GmbH. The payment methods supported are Paypal, Credit Cards and the german Lastschrift.
