This plug-in enables nymea to control the Dynatrace Ufo. The Dynatrace UFO is a sophisticated status light by Dynatrace.

This nymea integration supports auto discovering UFOs in the network and set them up as a color light in nymea. Each ring can as well as the top logo can be controlled individually and morph and rotate effects can be enabled.

Usage#

  • Plug it in!

  • Press the little black dot on the top. The UFO starts blinking blue and now offers a WiFi hotspot with the name “ufo”

  • Connect to that hotspot, browse to http://192.168.4.1

  • Through the Web UI connect to your own WiFi. You can also do it via the REST API: http://192.168.4.1/api?ssid=<ssid>&pwd=<pwd>

  • Remember: WPA2 works well where Enterprise WPA2 is currently not supported

  • While it reboots itself it will blink yellow. Once it has its assigned IP Address it will start visualizing its IP Address through a special „blink code“ as explained in the Quick Start Guide!

  • Remember: the UFO will also try to register its hostname as „ufo“ with your DHCP server. If that works you can simply browse to http://ufo
