iNET is E-Lite's cloud management system for street lighting. Gateways and
control nodes report to it; it provisions devices, monitors them, controls the lights —
on, off, dimmed, by hand or on a schedule — collects operational data and raises fault
alarms.
A faithful model of the iNET console, rebuilt screen by screen from the live
platform. Choose a task and watch it done on the console's own screens — pause at any
step, step back or forward, or change the speed.
A dead lamp is found by a resident days later, and a battery on its way out is
found when the street goes dark.
With iNET
Both become a line in a list, with the location already on it.
What it does
Six things an operator does every week.
Every one of them is on the console above — each card opens the guided demo
that shows it.
Assets
Every light, on the map
Create, import and edit device attributes — fixture coordinates and type, fixture wattage before and after retrofit, lamp type. iNET performs GIS‑to‑GPS matching to correlate fixture IDs with physical devices, so device IDs need not be recorded during installation.
Control
Map and floor plan
A map-based interface for status, health and overrides, extended to floor plans for indoor structures such as parking garages. Faulty devices are located from the same view that reported them.
Schedules
Groups and priority
Assets group logically for event scheduling, and a group can hold several schedules at once — regular and special events kept apart, with the engine resolving the day from event priority rather than from the operator remembering.
Data
Collected several times a day
Light level, energy use and faults, with per-point monitoring levels for voltage, current and power factor when a circuit needs investigating.
Alarms
Failure finds you
Built-in alarms per asset class, configurable to e-mail and SMS. The system watches for lamp failure, night outages and day burners, and the logs export as CSV.
Reporting
Asset, selection or city
Energy reports compare performance across lighting assets; data logs trend light level, wattage and schedules over a period. Everything exports to CSV or PDF.
Security and platform
Who may see it, and what it runs on.
Security
Every interface to iNET uses SSL with AES encryption. Access is role-based and can be restricted at different levels of a geozone hierarchy, password policy follows industrial standards, and a timeout after repeated failed logins closes the obvious attack.
Platform
Multi-tenant and built on current web technology, so it ports across platforms and web interfaces. Supported on Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
The lights behind the platform.
Talos, Solara and Omni Pro — the solar street lights that report to iNET, with and
without CCTV.
