Snap One Announces Several Upgrades to OvrC Platform

Demonstrating its commitment to providing integrators with a reliable, secure and robust remote management and monitoring (RMM) system, Snap One announced several improvements and upgrades to the OvrC platform.

Outlining the updates to its popular remote monitoring and management platform, the company says the newly improved OvrC solution offers improved monitoring accuracy and notifications, as well as Pakedge BakPak migration into OvrC to streamline and simplify system integration.

“The latest OvrC update brings improved notification accuracy, more actionable information, and better, faster UI navigation.” says Evan Marty, product manager, Snap One.

“Snap One Partners will find troubleshooting installations is easier than ever thanks to new capabilities and improved workflows.”

Leveraging the power of the OvrC cloud, the notification engine can better detect truly disconnected devices, resulting in an 80% reduction in email alerts to Partners. With the new protocols, a device is now listed as “Disconnected” only when OvrC cloud servers and the OvrC Pro Scanner show the device as disconnected. This more rigorous verification process increases the accuracy of alerts, while the event type (“connect”, “disconnect”, “limited”) is conveniently listed at the very top of the email.

The Future of Digital Lighting & Control

As a custom integrator, lighting is in demand. Effective communication, education and showcasing the value proposition of LED light fixtures in conjunction with integrative control systems are the keys to overcoming challenges and closing sales in this specialized market. Join us as we discuss the future of digital lighting and control with David Warfel from Light Can Help You and Patrick Laidlaw and Mark Moody from AiSPIRE. Register Now! 

The ‘limited’ type is a new designation that denotes products that connect to OvrC servers that are disconnected from the OvrC cloud but still active on the local network, after which Partners can access the local UI to resolve issues. A WattBox device is also now listed as “limited” if a port is shut down due to over current events that can occur during installation.

To enhance visibility into device issues and expedite action, the OvrC UI now groups events by device, allowing users to immediately gauge customer impact and issue duration. The UI also features a new ‘reference ID’ listing for each service interruption that can be marked ‘seen’ to differentiate new notifications from older events. Additionally, a new full-width contact info page allows for one-click phone calls to customers from within the OvrC interface, while each project can utilize unique searchable Job Codes and local time zones to further simplify client management.

“We are always listening to our Partners’ needs and suggestions, and they help inform the next generation of OvrC capabilities,” notes Marty.

“By simplifying Wi-Fi network setup, ensuring notifications are only triggered for critical issues, and improving workflow and user outreach within the OvrC interface, we’ve made remote management and monitoring more powerful and easier than ever before.”

Snap One has recently introduced OvrC Pro capabilities to Control4 EA and CA controllers with the release of OS 3.2.2, enabling any Control4 system to be fully monitored and managed through OvrC. 

“When we combine OvrC and Control4, we deliver a new level of insight into the project,” he adds.

“Control4 has fantastic visibility into devices connected to the control system, but with OvrC we provide additional visibility into every device connected to the network.”

Additionally, another recent introduction to OvrC is Wi-Fi Management, which Snap One describes as a fast network setup tool that enables installers to update settings on multiple access points with a single click. Offering a consolidated interface view that displays commonly used settings such as channel, power levels and roaming status, system configuration and troubleshooting can now be managed in a matter of minutes.
