Applications

akenza consists of four interlinked applications, each covering a different part of an IoT project.

akenza is made up of four applications. They share the same devices, data, users, and permissions, so moving between them needs no export, no second login, and no duplicate configuration.

Device Management

Where you manage your setup: connectivity, devices, data flows, business logic, and users.

Dashboard Builder

Where you visualize your data. Share dashboards with people who have no akenza account, and run signage screens in your offices.

Genio

Where you talk to your IoT setup through a chat interface, in beta.

Device Setup Assistant

A specialized app for deploying devices at scale, by scanning a QR code on site.

Which application to use when

If you want to	Use
Connect a device, decode its payload, or decide where its data goes	Device Management
Roll out many devices on site and configure them as you install them	Device Setup Assistant
Build a view of your data, or share one with someone outside akenza	Dashboard Builder
Get an answer without building a view for it first	Genio

Application contexts

akenza has two working contexts, and which one you are in determines which applications are available:

• The organization context covers everything under your account, across all of its workspaces.

• The workspace context covers a single workspace, typically one project or site.

Device Management and the Device Setup Assistant are available in both contexts. The Dashboard Builder and Genio are organization-level applications, so you open them from the organization context, and a dashboard can draw on devices from any workspace you have access to.

Access and subscription

You may access all applications regardless of your subscription, but functionality is restricted to specific tiers.

Billing and subscription are handled at organization level, and workspaces inherit access to features from the organization they belong to. See Billing & Subscription for the plan your organization is on, and akenza.io/pricing for what each tier includes.

Some allowances are counted per application. Dashboards and signage screens, for example, have separate allowances in each plan. See Dashboard Types.
