Internet of Things (IoT)¶
NightPOS Internet of Things (IoT) allows to connect physical devices such as barcode scanners, receipt printers, payment terminals, measurement tools, etc. to an NightPOS database using an IoT system.
The following IoT systems are supported:
IoT box: micro-computer, plug-and-play device (i.e., the NightPOS IoT program is pre-installed);
Windows virtual IoT: NightPOS IoT program for Windows that can be installed on a Windows computer.
Note
MRP devices, including cameras and measurement tools, are not compatible with the Windows virtual IoT.
Multiple IoT systems can be used at the same time.
It is also possible to create a Windows Virtual Machine on a MacOS/Linux computer. However, this option is not supported by NightPOS, and no troubleshooting assistance will be provided.
IoT box subscription¶
An IoT box subscription is required for production use of IoT systems and generating the HTTPS certificate. It is created automatically when an IoT system is connected to the database. If you have issues related to your subscription, contact the database’s account manager or NightPOS partner for assistance.
