The Node+ Application is now integrated directly with the iForm application for iOS. This allows for the capture of climate and thermal temperature data. The article below will walk through how to setup the application for the Node clima and the Node therma modules. 

DOWNLOAD A SAMPLE FORM PACKAGE BELOW to get get started quickly:

Node Clima and Therma

To add this functionality to an existing form, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: Download the iForm app and the Node+ to your iOS Device. App. 

Download iForm

Download Node + *REQUIRED

Step 2: Open the FormBuilder. Create a new widget with the input type 3rd Party.

Step 3: Enter the URL scheme into the iOS URL scheme in FormBuilder

Clima: vi-node-capture-clima://capture-readings

Therma: vi-node-capture-therma://capture-readings

Step 4: Configure the Name/Value Pairs (app_name and callback_url)

App Name: Name of the App you would like to call back to

app_name=iForm   

Callback Url: URL Scheme of the iForm App to call back to

callback_url=iform-third-party%3A%2F%2F

Full string:

app_name=iForm&callback_url=iform-third-party%3A%2F%2F

Step 5: Configure the rest of Name/Value Pairs

Clima:

When using the Clima Sensor the following Name/Value Pairs can be configured:

Unit Temp: Configure the Unite of Temperature

unitTemp (defaults to celsius)

Fahrenheit: unitTemp=0

Celsius: unitTemp=1

Unit Pressure: Configure the Unit of Pressure

unitPressure (defaults to kiloPascals)

KiloPascal: unitPressure=0

Atmosphere: unitPressure=1

Millibar: unitPressure=2

Inches: unitPressure=3

Unit Lumen: Configure the Unit of Light Measure

unitIllum (defaults to lux)

Lux: unitIllum=0

Footcandle: unitIllum=1

Final Name Value Pair Clima: app_name=iForm&callback_url=iform-third-party%3A%2F%2F&unitTemp=0&unitPressure=2&unitIllum=0

Therma:

Unit Temp: Configure the Unite of Temperature

unitTemp (defaults to celsius)

Fahrenheit: unitTemp=0

Celsius: unitTemp=1

Final Nam Value Pair Therma: app_name=iForm&callback_url=iform-third-party%3A%2F%2F&unitTemp=0

USING the Form

Step 1: Load and View Form

Step 2: Tap on Capture Climate (Node) and Choose Capture.

Step 3: Tap Send to iForm and Data is returned into the iForm App

Step 4: Tap on Therma Reading (Node)

Step 5: Tap on Capture to store 1 to many readings

Step 6: Tap Send to iForm and data is returned to the iForm Application.
