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 certain 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:
ftime schedule for actions:
fLight – switch the light on or off.
