Kio Setup Manager provides guided installation workflows for Kontakt.io Infrastructure device models (stationary devices). Each workflow guides you through connecting to the device, assigning it to a location in Smart Location, and confirming it is reporting to Kio Cloud. Workflows do vary by the device models. Installation cannot be completed from the Kio Cloud web portal, all device installations must be completed on-site with the Kio Setup Manager.
Installation types
Two installation types are available (which may vary by the device model):
End-to-end installation covers every step for a new device: Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi configuration (for gateways), operation mode selection (for Portal Beams), location assignment in Smart Location, and final verification. Use this for all new device deployments.
Location assignment only assigns a pre-configured device to a room in Smart Location without repeating the full setup. Use this when a device has already been configured and only needs its physical location assigned. For example, when relocating a device to a new location.
Supported device installation workflows
| Device | What the workflow covers |
|---|---|
| Portal Light | Wi-Fi network setup, location assignment |
| Portal Beam | Operation mode selection (Room Occupancy, Seat Occupancy, Footfall, or IR), configuration, location assignment |
| Beam Mini | IR mode configuration, location assignment |
| Anchor Beacon | Location assignment |
| Dispenser Beacon | Configuration (iOS only) |
| Temp Monitor Pro | Location assignment, installation type selection, probe serial number, Storage Unit and Threshold Setting assignment |
| Temp Monitor Lite | Location assignment, Storage Unit or Room selection, Threshold Setting assignment |
Prerequisites for all installations
Before starting any installation workflow, the following must be complete in Kio Cloud:
- Kontakt.io Order ID claimed in Device Management
- Smart Location is complete — campus, building, floor, and rooms are created
- You are signed in to Kio Setup Manager with the Device Management role assigned.
For Temperature Monitor installations, also require:
- Device Management Temp Monitor Installer role assigned (iOS Kio Setup Manger)
- Setup Manager (mobile) Temp Monitor Installer roles assigned (Android Kio Setup Manager)
- Departments created in Smart Location with rooms assigned
- Storage Units created in Temperature Monitoring (for Storage Unit monitoring)
- Threshold Settings created in Temperature Monitoring
What happens during installation
Kio Setup Manager guides you through each step and confirms completion before moving to the next. If a step fails (for example if a Portal Light cannot connect to Wi-Fi) the workflow shows an error and offers guidance before you continue.
Keep your mobile device near the device throughout the installation. Most steps require an active Bluetooth connection to configure a device.
