viewneo Butler (IoT)

Introduction

The viewneo Butler is a device that allows events that effect the contents of digital signage monitors, such as:

• Video A is played or
• Video B has ended

with external actions, such as:

• Lamp A turns on, lamp B turns off or
• RGB lamp C switches to a different color (for example, from red to green)

can be linked.

Additionally, you can also react to external actions using Digital Signage content. For example, if a product is removed from a shelf, the sensors recognize this and send a signal to the viewneo Butler. This sends a further signal to the Digital Signage player, that changes the content which is shown. Therefore you could have the following scenario:

• Product is taken off a shelf (IoT sensor reports a signal to the Butler)
• Information about the product is displayed on a monitor.

What is the viewneo Butler?

The viewneo Butler is in an IoT hub (IoT = Internet of Things), that interacts with external devices, such as:

• Lamps
• Motors (turntable, fan)
• Sockets (ZigBee radio-controlled sockets)

By being able to control power sockets, almost any electrical device can be controlled with the viewneo Butler.
