Collect data and control your buildings in just a few minutes

SynapseCore HBC-10 Box

This pre-wired enclosure is a complete, ready-to-use solution combining BMS, IoT gateway, 4G router, and electrical protections in a compact and robust cabinet, fully pre-configured by Ewattch.

Designed for immediate commissioning, this “all-in-one” enclosure installs quickly, with no complex wiring or prior configuration required. It ensures optimal connectivity and security from the moment it is powered on.

With its open architecture, multi-protocol compatibility, and native integration with EwattchCloud, it easily integrates into any type of infrastructure and ensures smooth, centralized management of connected equipment.

Features
  • Fast Installation & Plug & Play

Fully pre-wired and factory-tested enclosure: mount it, connect it, and it operates immediately.

  • Ewattch Pre-configuration

Each enclosure is delivered pre-configured for your project: router, SynapseCore gateway, and scenarios are already set up for ultra-fast commissioning.

  • 4G Backup Connectivity

The integrated 4G connection is designed to facilitate startup when the local network is not yet available, or to ensure temporary access in case of network outage.

  • Complete Electrical Protection

The enclosure integrates protection devices to secure power supply and communications, ensuring reliability and longevity of connected equipment.

  • EwattchCloud Compatibility

High-performance SaaS supervision, advanced analytics, and real-time control accessible from anywhere via the EwattchCloud platform.

  • Multi-protocol Compatibility

Native support for LoRaWAN, Modbus TCP, BACnet, KNX, and third-party APIs, enabling simple and flexible integration into your existing systems.

Network Infrastructure

Network Configuration

Firewall
  • Allow: gateway MAC or IP addresses to access outbound ports 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), and 123 (NTP) to the server www.ewattchcloud.fr, and port 53 to the configured DNS servers.
  • SynapseCore: allow MAC or IP addresses to access outbound ports 51820 and 51821 (TCP and UDP) to wg.vpn.ewattch.cloud.
  • Whitelist: add www.ewattchcloud.fr and wg.vpn.ewattch.cloud to the firewall whitelist.
  • RAK: if present on the network, allow MAC or IP addresses to communicate with Ewattch gateways via ports 1780 and 1782 (TCP and UDP).
Addressing
  • WAN Port: By default, the WAN port is set to DHCP. Verify that the gateways correctly retrieve network parameters (gateway, DNS). If switching to a static IP, set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) if required.
  • LAN Port: The SynapseCore LAN port has a fixed IP address of 192.168.25.1/24 and acts as a DHCP server.
DNS
  • DNS Access: gateways must be able to access DNS (Domain Name Service), either via the gateway (DNS relay) or directly (example: 8.8.8.8 on port 53).
  • Domain: gateways must be able to access the domain www.ewattchcloud.fr.
Proxy
  • HTTP Proxy: if a proxy is used, it will not be configured automatically. Configuration must be performed directly on the gateways.
  • Authentication: authenticated proxies are not supported.
