Licensing
Reflow Site licenses work on a single Niagara 4 Host ID - including JACEs or other embedded hardware and supervisor hosts.
A device represents a piece of equipment in your station that will be visualized in Reflow. For example each VAV, Air Handler, meter, door lock, etc. will count as a device toward the license total.
Requirements
System Requirements
Reflow requires Niagara 4.6 or later running on a Web Supervisor or JACE 8000 (or equivalent) hardware
Reflow's module size is approximately 9 MB. It is recommended to have 25 MB of free space on your station's file system before installation, and keeping at least 10 MB of file space free during usage. This free space is used to store configuration data.
Reflow does not require additional memory or CPU upgrades and its impact on station memory, heap size, and CPU usage should be negligible. Please note that if your station is already at maximum memory or CPU capacity, adding any module, including Reflow, may be detrimental to your system.
Web Browser Support
Reflow supports all modern "evergreen" web browsers including the latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Specific browser version support includes the release up to two versions back from the time the Reflow version was released
Reflow does not support Internet Explorer
Security Considerations
Reflow inherits the Niagara security model. You can control access to Reflow in the same way you can control access to any component in your station.
Users/categories who do not have access to specific station components, points, devices, graphics, etc. will still not have access to these items in Reflow.
Reflow uses Niagara's built-in Web Service to serve all files and web requests. If HTTPS is enabled on the Web Service, requests will be served over HTTPS. If the WebService is disabled, Reflow will also be disabled.
Weather Data
Reflow uses AerisWeather for weather data including current conditions, forecasts, and live precipitation maps.
The Reflow module on the station will never directly connect to the weather data provider. This connection is made in the end user's web browser and will have no impact on station performance. An internet connection from your station is not required to use these features, however end users who wish to see this data must have an active internet connection and be authorized to connect via HTTPS to weather.niagaramodules.com from their local network.
The Reflow weather data provider caches weather station data for current conditions and forecasts for up to 15 minutes. Weather map images are cached for up to 30 minutes.
