SNMP Compatibility

Openviro is designed to work with the ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB, and can deliver both Temperature Relative Humidity data to a compatible NMS or SNMP querry.

.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.4.0 = Front Temp

.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.2.4.0 = Front RH%

.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.2.1.4.0 = Rear Temp

.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.2.2.4.0 = Rear RH%

The Openviro platform is currently built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040. The hardware is of our own design, but Openviro Firmware is an open-source project, and will be made available in the coming weeks. We will also be offering up the Case Designs for the temperature probes, so you can print or modify them yourself to fit your needs.

Current firmware for Openviro can be found here: https://bit.ly/4eL2v62

Google Drive is a temporary parking spot until we release the code as open-source.

Firmware Flashing

To upgrade or reflash the Openviro Axe PoE, power off the device entirely, making sure none of the three power sources are connected (PoE, DC Barrel, USB-C).

While holding the “BOOT” button on the front of the unit, plug in the USB-C port to a PC. Openviro will show up on your PC as a USB Flash Drive.

Copy the (openviro).uf2 firmware file onto the drive. Openviro will automatically disconnect and reboot using the new firmware.
