Additionally, the integration with Utelogy offers code-free scripting tool allowing customers to build scripts to control all the devices within a specific area or a room to do overnight room readiness testing - great use case for sustainability and powering devices off when not in use or during non-business hours.
All types of NETIO power distribution units can be controlled via
- PowerBOX with wall kind of sockets
- PowerPDU with IEC C13 computer power sockets,
- PowerDIN rail version
- PowerCable 2KZ - FLAT PDUs for installation behind TV.
Every switch can
- Output On
- Output Off

UTELOGY / NETIO setup guide
1. Utelogy Customer should have U-Server installed
2. Search for NETIO devices in Utelogy’s GDL (Global Driver Library) and install
3. Configure device on U-Console – add host name or IP Address. Utelogy is using the NETIO HTTP JSON API – download the README for specific instructions and a step-by-step guide
4. From here you can configure and add individual power ports. Control functionality will now be available within U-Console
a. one of the most powerful parts is powering on/off the ports
b. they can have this functionality within U-Console
c. users have access to a web interface based control (U-Control) which can be available within a touch panel or any HTML5 supported device
5. Get metric data and information can be visible at Utelogy cloud management and analytics platform U-Manage (Examples: power, connection, IP Address, Mac Address, serial number, firmware version, power ports, voltage, total energy, frequency etc. )
