Get started with UMA's Cisco integration's with the following guides:
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.

UMA can access various room analytics data from Meraki’s API including the following:
Temperature
Humidity
Live Occupancy
Air Quality (TVOC)
PM
Sound Level
Ambient Noise
Energy
This data can be presented in multiple ways within UMA to help employees and administrators understand the state of a particular room or space.
By integrating Cisco Webex 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.

To get started, you’ll need a UMA administrator account with at least one bookable resource (assigned to a building/floor) and a Cisco Webex Control Hub administrator account with at least one device.
Navigate to ‘Workspaces’ and ‘Integrations’ in Webex Control Hub.
Find the ‘UMA Workspace’ integration and follow the steps to activate the integration.
The ‘UMA Workspace’ integration requires the following permissions:
Once consented to on the Webex side, you’ll be redirected to UMA, where you’ll need to log in with your administrator account to activate the integration. Once activated, Webex and UMA will show as connected.
Now in UMA, navigate to ‘Manage’ and ‘Devices’ and click ‘Add a Device’ and find and select the Cisco Webex auto scan button.
Your Webex devices should now import into UMA and be manageable from there.
To import any Cisco Webex Navigators, you will need to navigate to the codec that the Navigator is connected to and find its peripherals and hit ‘Auto Scan’.
To display UMA’s room booking PWA on the Webex Room Navigator, follow the below steps:
In Webex Control Hub, navigate to the device you want to assign the PWA to and click on ‘Navigator-persistent web app’.
From the ‘Services’ menu, select ‘UMA Workspace’ and hit save. On the Navigator, you should now see a pairing screen with a code.
In UMA, navigate to ‘Manage’ and ‘Devices’ and click ‘Add a Device’ and find and select the ‘UMA Booking Application’. Add this device using the code displayed on the screen from the previous step. Optional - you can assign the Navigator peripheral as the parent device for this application.
Once this device is added and paired, you should now see an option to continue setting up the Navigator on the display itself. Continue through the steps and set a PIN code for the device.
To display real time occupancy and environmental data on the Navigator, toggle these on as part of the set up or any time later from the admin settings of the UMA booking application.
UMA can access various room analytics data from Webex Control Hubs xAPI including the following:
Temperature
Humidity
Live Occupancy
Air Quality (TVOC)
Sound Level
Ambient Noise
This data can be presented in multiple ways within UMA to help employees and administrators understand the state of a particular room or space.
Optionally, you can allow any applicable Cisco Webex device to auto book or cancel a meeting using the built in occupancy sensor.
UMA’s chatbot in Webex Teams allows quick resource scheduling by asking the UMA bot to quickly book a meeting room or desk.
To get started, navigate to the Webex App Hub, search for UMA and log in and add the bot to enable meeting room and desk booking directly from Webex Teams.
