WiFi Push Notification 1-Input with Wi-Fi Interface

Wi-Fi Push Notification

"Read outputs over your WiFi Network"

NexGen WiFi Interface

The WiFi Push Notification board communicates with N-Button Software through your existing wireless network, eliminating the need to run Ethernet cables between the board and your computer.

Once connected to your WiFi network, the board communicates using an assigned IP address, allowing N-Button Software to monitor inputs and send notifications from anywhere on your local network.

The NexGen WiFi interface supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless networks along with WPA/WPA2 security and WPA2-Enterprise authentication.

NexGen WiFi Communications Module

This board is equipped with the NexGen WiFi communications module, providing reliable wireless communication between the Push Notification board and N-Button Software.

Configuration is performed using the built-in Soft AP web interface, allowing setup from a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer with WiFi capability.

Once configured, the board automatically reconnects to the wireless network whenever power is restored.

---

Network Configuration

The NexGen WiFi module supports both DHCP and Static IP addressing for easy integration into existing network environments.

Advanced configuration options including communication ports and network settings are available through the integrated Soft AP web interface.

The Push Notification Board

"Convert dry contact outputs into real-time alerts."

The Push Notification Board

Push Notification boards are designed to monitor dry contact closure inputs and automatically trigger text and/or email notifications when an input changes state.

The board communicates with N-Button Software through the selected USB, Ethernet or WiFi interface where notifications can be configured for one or multiple recipients.

In most applications, all that's required is a simple dry contact closure output from the equipment or device being monitored.

---

Dry Contact Inputs

Inputs on Push Notification boards are compatible with dry contact closure devices such as:

• Pushbuttons
• Toggle switches
• Float switches
• Relay outputs
• Alarm contacts
• Sensors and monitoring devices

When a contact closure is detected, N-Button Software can automatically send text and/or email notifications based on the configured input.

---

Simple Input Wiring

The board includes screw terminal input connections for easy installation and field wiring.

Inputs are designed for dry contact closure only and may be connected to virtually any device capable of providing a no-voltage contact output.

---

5-Yeary Warranty & Guarantee

Every ProXR Lite controller is covered by:

• 5-Year Functional Warranty
• 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you're not satisfied, send it back for a refund within 30 days. (Damage caused after delivery isn't covered.)

Essential Power Requirements

Clean, regulated power is critical.
A stable 12VDC supply ensures both the relay coils and onboard firmware operate correctly. Unstable or noisy power can cause improper reading or communication issues.

We recommend the PWR12-US (120VAC → 12VDC @ 1.25A) or our international supply with interchangeable adapters.

Developer/API

Direct Query Command Set

For custom software applications, Push Notification boards may also be monitored directly through software commands instead of N-Button Software.

• Decimal Values: 254 (Command) 150-157 (Parameter - Channel 1-8)
• Hex Values: 0xFE (Command) 0x96 - 0x9D (Parameter - Channel 1-8)
• Receive Byte: Decimal: 0-255, Hex: 0x00-0xFF

Inputs return values from 0-255 depending on input state. In contact closure applications, values above 200 are typically treated as an active input condition.

Push Notification with N-Button

"Turn equipment status signals into notifications with N-Button."

N-Button Software

N-Button Pro/Lite Software is the monitoring and notification platform used with Push Notification boards.

Using a simple point-and-click interface, N-Button allows you to monitor dry contact inputs, configure text and email notifications, create visual status indicators and automate actions based on equipment status changes.

Each monitored input can have its own custom notification message, recipient list, visual indicator and automation rules, making the software ideal for equipment alarms, security monitoring, process alerts and unattended systems.

---

Scan Channels

Scan Channels are the core of the Push Notification monitoring system.

A Scan Channel continuously monitors an input on the Push Notification board and determines whether the dry contact circuit is open or closed.

When the input changes state, the Scan Channel processes the event and can trigger text notifications, email alerts, visual indicators and automation actions within N-Button Software.

A separate Scan Channel is typically created for each input on the board, allowing every monitored device or alarm condition to have its own notification settings and visual status indicator.

---

Monitor Inputs From Your Desktop

When a Scan Channel is created, N-Button will place place a visual status widget directly on the desktop of your computer. The widget continuously reflects the current state of the monitored dry contact input using user-defined colors for both the open and closed conditions.

This provides a simple real-time visual indication for monitoring doors, gates, alarm contacts, equipment status signals, tank levels and other connected sensors.

Desktop monitoring can be used by itself for visual status indication or combined with text and email notifications for complete alarm monitoring and response.

---

Gmail & Email Setup

N-Button Software sends notifications using standard email accounts such as Gmail and other SMTP-compatible providers.

Email notifications are sent directly to the recipient's email address. SMS notifications are typically sent using an Email-to-SMS Gateway Address provided by the recipient's mobile carrier. Instead of entering only a phone number, SMS recipients are configured using the carrier's Email-to-SMS Gateway Address, which converts the email into a text message delivered to the mobile device.

A single notification can be sent to multiple email addresses, SMS recipients or a combination of both.

For Gmail accounts, Google App Passwords are required when 2-Step Verification is enabled. Step-by-step setup information is included in the detailed setup guides below.

---

Send SMS, Email or Both

N-Button Software can send text notifications, email alerts or both simultaneously when a monitored input changes state.

Custom subjects and messages may be configured for each input so recipients know exactly which alarm, sensor or piece of equipment triggered the notification.

---

---

Automation & Relay Control

Control Actions from Inputs

N-Button Software can also trigger actions based on input status changes.

Using Automation Rules, Push Notification board inputs can control relays on compatible relay boards to activate warning lights, buzzers, sirens, fans or other connected equipment automatically.

For example, when an alarm contact closes, N-Button can simultaneously:

• Send text and email notifications
• Display a visual alarm on-screen
• Activate a warning light or buzzer
• Control relays on additional boards

NextGen Push Setup

"Add board to network, setup ScanChannel, start monitoring"

NextGen WiFi Setup

The NexGen WiFi module includes a built-in web interface that makes connecting the Push Notification board to your wireless network straightforward.

Some initial configuration is required, but most users are up and running in just a few minutes using a phone, tablet or computer.

---

Simple Guided Configuration

When powered on in configuration mode, the NexGen module creates its own temporary WiFi network. Simply connect to the module, open the built-in configuration page and enter your WiFi network information.

During setup you will:

• Connect the module to your WiFi network
• Choose DHCP or a Static IP Address
• Enable N-Button communications
• Save your settings and restart the module

Once connected to your network, N-Button Software can automatically discover the board and begin monitoring inputs.

---

N-Button Communication Setup

After the board is connected to your WiFi network, it must be added to N-Button Software using Device Manager.

N-Button will automatically discover compatible Push Notification boards on your network, allowing you to quickly add the device and begin monitoring inputs.

Once the board has been added, create a Scan Channel for each input you wish to monitor. Scan Channels continuously monitor input status and can trigger notifications, visual indicators and automation actions whenever an input changes state.
