Quick Start Guide

Follow these six steps to have your KERONE system commissioned, connected, and optimised for production.

01
Step 01

Installation & Setup

Download and install the KERONE SmartDry™ control software. Configure system parameters, establish network connectivity, and verify hardware communication with all sensors and actuators.

Code Examples

Connect to KERONE's API in your preferred language. Full SDK documentation available on request.

Python
# Connect to KERONE SmartDry™ API
import kerone_api

# Initialise client
client = kerone_api.Client(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
    endpoint='api.kerone.com'
)

# Retrieve live system status
status = client.get_status()
print(f"Temperature: {status.temp}°C")
print(f"Humidity:    {status.rh}%")
print(f"State:       {status.state}")

Basic API Connection

Connect to the KERONE API and retrieve real-time system status including temperature, humidity, and operational state.

JavaScript
const keroneAPI = require('kerone-sdk');

const client = new keroneAPI.Client({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  endpoint: 'api.kerone.com'
});

// Stream real-time sensor data
client.on('sensorUpdate', (data) => {
  console.log(`Temp: ${data.temp}°C`);
  console.log(`Power: ${data.kw} kW`);
});

Real-Time Monitoring

Subscribe to live sensor data streams via WebSocket — temperature, power consumption, and alarm events in real time.

C#
using KeroneSDK;

var client = new KeroneClient(
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    endpoint: "api.kerone.com"
);

// Set and execute a drying profile
await client.SetProfile(new DryingProfile {
    TargetTemp  = 150,
    RampRate    = 5,
    HoldMinutes = 60,
    CoolToTemp  = 40
});

Process Profile Control

Configure and execute multi-stage drying profiles programmatically — set ramp rates, soak times, and cooldown targets via the SDK.

API Reference

RESTful endpoints for system control, data retrieval, and remote configuration. All endpoints require Bearer token authentication.

GET
/api/v2/systems/{id}/status

Get System Status

Retrieve current operational state, temperature, humidity, power consumption, and active alarms for a specific system.

POST
/api/v2/systems/{id}/start

Start System

Initiate system operation with specified profile parameters. Validates system state and safety interlocks before executing startup sequence.

POST
/api/v2/systems/{id}/stop

Stop System

Execute controlled shutdown following proper cooldown procedures, alarm acknowledgement, and safe-state confirmation.

GET
/api/v2/data/sensors

Get Sensor Data

Retrieve historical sensor data — temperature, humidity, pressure, flow rate — with configurable date range, resolution, and channel filters.

PUT
/api/v2/settings/profile

Update Drying Profile

Modify active operating profile including temperature setpoints, ramp rates, hold times, and multi-zone configurations.

GET
/api/v2/alerts/active

Get Active Alerts

Retrieve all active system alarms, warnings, and critical notifications — filterable by severity, zone, and timestamp.
