Software Configuration

Legacy software configuration guide for Thingsee One - connect to self-hosted servers after cloud discontinuation.

Legacy Documentation

Thingsee One and its associated software tools have been discontinued. This documentation is maintained for reference purposes only. No further software updates will be released.

This guide covers how to continue using your Thingsee One device with a self-hosted HTTP server after the official Thingsee Cloud has been discontinued.

Overview

Even though the official Thingsee One Cloud platform is no longer available, you can still use your device by:

Connecting it to your own HTTP server
Manually editing the configuration files on the device
Creating custom profiles for your use case

Connect Thingsee One to a Self-Hosted HTTP Server

Take a backup of your device configuration files before making any changes! These changes will break the connection to the original Thingsee Cloud (which is no longer operational anyway).

Prerequisites

Thingsee One device
USB cable to access device storage
Your own HTTP server to receive data
Text editor for JSON files

Step 1: Edit CLOUD.JSN

Connect your Thingsee One via USB and edit the CLOUD.JSN file:

{
  "connectors": [
    {
      "connectorId": 123456789,
      "connectorName": "My HTTP server",
      "deviceAuthUuid": "YOURSERIALHERE"
    }
  ],
  "connections": [
    {
      "wifiConnections": [
        {
          "ssid": "MySSID",
          "encryption": "wpa2",
          "password": "My password here",
          "connectionId": 1
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Configuration options:

Field	Description
`deviceAuthUuid`	Match this to your Thingsee One QR code/serial number. Find it in `DEVICE.JSN` under `device → serial`
`connectorId`	Any numeric value (e.g., `54143252`) - useful when managing multiple devices
`ssid`	Your WiFi network name
`password`	Your WiFi password

Step 2: Edit PROFILE.JSN

The profile controls what data is collected and when it’s sent to your server. You need to add/edit the cloud object under actions:

"cloud": {
  "sendEvent": true,
  "host": "your.domain.com",
  "api": "tsone"
}

Example Profiles

GPS Tracker Profile

This profile sends environment values every 12 hours and GPS info whenever there is an impact event.

Sensor IDs Reference

Sensor ID	Description
`0x00010100`	GPS Latitude
`0x00010200`	GPS Longitude
`0x00010400`	GPS Altitude
`0x00030200`	Battery Level
`0x00050400`	Impact/Bump Detection
`0x00060100`	Temperature
`0x00060200`	Humidity
`0x00060400`	Pressure

Interval Reference

Milliseconds	Duration
`60000`	1 minute
`300000`	5 minutes
`3600000`	1 hour
`43200000`	12 hours
`86400000`	24 hours

Server-Side Implementation

Your HTTP server will receive POST requests with JSON payloads containing sensor data. A minimal server implementation should:

Accept POST requests at the configured endpoint
Parse the JSON payload
Store or process the sensor data
Return a 200 OK response

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Device not connecting	Verify WiFi credentials in `CLOUD.JSN`
No data received	Check that `host` is correct in profile and server is accessible
Invalid JSON errors	Validate your JSON files with a JSON validator before saving
Device not updating	Restart the device after changing configuration files

Important Notes

Always backup configuration files before making changes
The device uses 2G cellular as fallback if WiFi is unavailable
Battery life depends heavily on reporting interval configuration
The api field should remain "tsone" for compatibility with standard parsers
