By integrating Cisco Meraki with UMA you are provided with the perfect blend of technology that's enabled for the future of work.
UMA are a Cisco Solutions Plus Partner and design workplace technology solutions that integrate seamlessly with Cisco workplace solutions.
UMA's integration with Cisco Meraki lets you leverage the latest technologies to optimise your office environment.
Additionally, you can view analytics data on a dashboard or map of your office, enabling you to make informed decisions on how to best allocate resources.
Tracking meeting room utilisation and air quality of your office space can help you understand the usage patterns of your employees in the workplace and allow you to make informed decisions on how to optimise the office environment.
This can save time, money and energy by analysing how to best allocate resources, as well as improve air quality and circulation. Additionally, monitoring air quality will help you ensure your office remains up to date with the latest health and safety regulations.
To get started, you’ll need an UMA administrator account with at least one resource (assigned to a building/floor) and a Cisco Meraki account with API access permissions to MT sensor devices.
Navigate to your profile within the Meraki Dashboard.
Scroll down to ‘API access’ and create a new API key.
Copy the API key and navigate to the UMA integrations page.
Click connect on the Cisco Meraki integration card and paste your API key into the field.
Select either ‘Rest of world’ or ‘China' for your location and choose an organisation to connect to.
The integration should connect and you should now able to import your Meraki devices into UMA.
To stream live data into UMA from your Meraki devices you will now need to configure UMA's MQTT broker in your Meraki network.
