Open the page palamoa.de in your web browser.

You need to create an account via the button Register, in order to access the web interface.

If you have already created an account but are currently not logged in, you can do so by using the Log In button.

Here you can select the dashboard you want to access.

After creating an account, you will see the blank dashboard.
Click the button Add Device, in order to configure a new device.

The header will display a new device without a name or sensor.

Click Unnamed Device.

An input field that lets you configure the device opens.
Enter a name for the device.

Click the tab API-Key.

Configuring Palamoa in the Querx web interface (from firmware version 6)

Now open the configuration page Interfaces / Actions of the Querx web interface in a new Browser window or tab. Select HTTP Push 1 as action type and Time interval 2 as event type. Now create a new action by pressing the button Add 3.

First, select the name of the template from the list, in this case palamoa.tpl 2. After the selection, some input fields will change. URL and HTTP method will get the value from the template. In the field API-Key or Variable 1 3 enter the API-Key displayed by Palamoa.

The Update rate field 4 determines how often Querx should send the current measurement value to Palamoa. Select in which interval (in minutes) the value should be updated. Enable the action with a click on Enable 1.

To evaluate the configuration, click on the Test button 5. Querx will then immediately send the current measurement values to Palamoa. When the data has been accepted by the other side, the button turns green.

Configuring Palamoa in the Querx web interface (from firmware version 4.4.18)

Should your Querx not run firmware version 6 or higher, but at a minimum of version 4.4.18, please proceed as follows:

Open the Querx web interface in a new browser window or tab and navigate to the page HTTP Push in the configuration area. Enter URL displayed by Palamoa in the previous step into the corresponding input field. Fill in the other input fields as displayed in the screenshot and click Save.

Querx will now send a set of data to Palamoa once every minute. If you set the Update rate to "0", Querx will send a set of data as soon as the data changes.

If "palamoa.tpl" does not show up in the selection menu then you are using an older firmware version. In this case you can alternatively use "push.tpl". If you use "push.tpl" however, the automatic setup won't work and you will have to set up the sensors manually.

If the configuration of Querx was successful, a dialog that lets Palamoa configure Querx automatically should appear after Querx has sent its first data set. If you click "Yes", Querx will be set up automatically and you can skip the section "Configuring sensors manually".

You can also select the automatic setup from the device's configuration menu at any later time.

A first set of data sent by Querx should appear in the dark field after about a minute.
Once the data is displayed, click Add Sensor, in order to enter a sensor.
Type the sensor’s name into the input field.
Palamoa is highly flexible, making it able to read various data formats. We need to tell the cloud where the corresponding data is located within the data set. We do this by clicking on the input field Value, thus activating it. We then need to click the temperature value within the data set.
Repeat this procedure for the unit by clicking the input field Unit and then selecting °C in the data set.
Palamoa now knows where to find the data that is required to display the temperature.

When configuring a Querx TH or THP sensor, you can add further sensors. You can close the window once all sensors are configured.

Back on the dashboard, the device appears with the configured sensors.
In the current version it might be necessary to refresh the page for the changes to be displayed correctly.

Pull a text widget from the widget list into the dashboard area, using your cursor.

Connect the widget and the sensor.
Use your cursor to pull the device’s sensor onto the widget.

The device’s name, along with the sensor’s name and the most recent value appears in the widget. Congratulations, you have configured your first Palamoa dashboard.

You can now add further devices, sensors and widgets in the same way, in order to further extend your dashboard.

A Palamoa app that lets you easily monitor your data from your Android smartphone is also available. You can find it here in the Google Play Store. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.palamoa_android).

Instead of having to enter your data manually, you can alternatively choose to log in using a QR code. To do this, simply open the QR Code Scanner in the Palamoa app.

On the Palamoa dashboard on the web, click the smartphone icon (in the menu bar at the top) and scan the displayed QR code using the Palamoa Android app.

You are now logged into your account on your smartphone and can monitor your values at any time.
