K4NOC

The K4 Network Operations Center (K4NOC - pronounced "kay four knock") allows community staff to identify and troubleshoot smart home device issues to ensure reliable and efficient operation.

Alarms are generated for offline devices, low wifi signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), low device battery, limited controller memory, and more.

What do you get with K4NOC?

  • Real-time alarms indicating the affected device and severity of the alarm (critical or warning)
  • Community Wi-Fi health reporting including historical SNR values on a room-by-room basis
  • Increased efficiency by having full control of device maintenance
  • Ability to test and fix devices right from the app with built-in troubleshooting tips
  • History of device status for full understanding of device or network performance over time
  • Ability to access the app on mobile (iOS and Android) as well as web at www.ops.k4connect.com

Alarms are automatically resolved if the device self-heals or if the triggering value returns to an acceptable range. All alarm history including auto-resolved alarms is tracked on the alarm detail page.

What can you do with K4NOC?

  • Filter alarms to view only the most relevant information
  • Update the status of alarms including Acknowledged, Snoozed, and Disabled
  • View alarm detail and history for a specific room including historical Wi-Fi SNR values
  • Find custom recommended troubleshooting steps depending on the alarm being viewed
  • Document troubleshooting steps taken and make other custom notes that are visible to other community staff in the room's alarm history
