NETIO Cloud is a power monitoring and control portal for NETIO compatible smart power distribution devices that allows remote monitoring, control and reboots. From a single webpage on the NETIO Cloud portal (https://cloud.netio-products.com) multiple electrical power outlets can be controlled in a secure and reliable https environment. NETIO Cloud is compatible with the following NETIO all Netio Smart Power products (See related products tab) and provides 50k Welcome Credits for a device when it is added to a Netio Cloud account. Welcome Credits typically cover 1years of usage and additional credits can be purchased in 100k bundles as required.

How does NETIO Cloud work?
NETIO Cloud is based on accounts called Organizations and Users.
Netio User Level
Each user has an account with unique login credentials
Every user has to be a member of one or more organisation(s) with the appropriate rights to add and manage devices
When a new user is registered, NETIO Cloud creates their private organisation, and they become the sole admin for that administration
Every user can be invited to other organisations
The Mobile App NETIO Mobile 2 provides access to all organisations the user is invited to, enabling them to manage devices within those organisations, based on their assigned roles
Organisation Level
Devices can only be added to an organisation (company)
Each device can be associated with only one NETIO Cloud organisation
Credits are calculated solely for organisations and not for individual users
NETIO Cloud conveniently displays all PDU outputs on a single dashboard and the NETIO Cloud web GUI is optimised for mobile phones, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices
Users can control each output from all devices from an organisation’s dashboard (using NETIO Cloud web) and they can switch them On/Off or restart them (power-cycle)
The total Power Consumption (kWh) for all powered metered outputs is diplayed – please note that the indication of actual load in amperes (A) may be available only with specific subscription plans
NETIO Cloud generates Daily Billing Report (credit usage) for every organisation
Each device can be named and assigned to a specific group or sub-group
Admin can configure the User Roles to determine access rights for individual outputs or PDU devices
The PDU Connection Alarm can be enabled for each device, triggering email notifications when the device loses or re-establishes connection
Open API of NETIO Cloud
NETIO products connect to the NETIO Cloud service via the public internet. The service allows control of the connected products over the Web. NETIO Cloud can also serve as an unified interface for all devices linked to the same user account. With the Open API, you can control all devices connected to the same user account.
NETIO Cloud Pricing
NETIO Cloud uses a credit system and charges against the credit daily based on the number of devices, users and subscription plan
Subscription plans differ in price and supported features as shown in the table below
New Netio devices have a 50k Welcome Credit when connected to NETIO Cloud
Customers can purchase new User Credits in 100k batches
NETIO Credit is registered at the Organisation level only and credit transfer between users and organisations is not possible
The NETIO Cloud service stops working when the Credit amount drops to 0 credits but the service notifies the user several times by e-mail (with a too low credit warning) and NETIO Cloud also provides a pop-up notification to prompt users to add more credit depending on the subscription plan
With low credits users can still control connected devices but cannot pair a new device and the User will temporarily credit a negative Credit value which will deduct when a new Credit package is purchased
