Triton’s smart environmental sensors can now be fully integrated with your Genea Security platform. From smoke/vape detection metrics to behavioral anomaly detection (like shooting, loitering, etc), Triton sensors provide vital environmental data now fully viewable and manageable within your Genea dashboard.

Why Integrate Triton Sensors with Genea?

Triton sensors detect a wide range of environmental and safety-related events, including Smoke detection, CO2 spikes, noise disturbances, loitering, or even phrases like “Help Me” or “Shooter.” This integration enables:

  • Real-time sensor health tracking

  • Instant event logging with timestamps

  • Custom trigger alerts

  • Sensor to camera mapping

  • All from your Genea dashboard

Setting Up Your Genea + Triton Sensor Integration

1. Installing Triton Sensors

  1. Navigate to the 'Integrations' tab in your Genea admin dashboard.

  2. Scroll down and find the 'IOT Sensors' integrations, and click 'Install' under the Triton integration.
    ​

  3. After successful installation, a step-by-step guide will be displayed, which can be followed. You can also keep reading this article to learn the next steps.

    ​

2. Configuring a Triton Sensor

  1. Go to the company's dashboard, and in "Hardware" left pane, drop down click on "Sensors".
    ​

  2. To Add a new Sensor, Click on Add Sensor and fill in the required details:

    1. Fill out:

      • Vendor: Triton

      • Name, IP Address, MAC Address

      • (Optional) Description

    2. After saving, a unique Auth Key will be shown.
      ⚠️ Copy and store it safely — it will not be shown again.

    You can also find it temporarily on the sensor’s detail screen after creation.

3. Setting up Triton's Dashboard

3.1 Platform Integration Setup

  1. Access the Triton Dashboard on your local browser

  2. Go to Platform Integration

  3. Set the following and click on save:

Enable HTTP Settings:         ON
Server:                       https://api-sensor.sequr.io/v1/triton/event
Method:                       POST
Content-Type:                 application/json
Auth Method:                  Basic Auth
Auth Key:                     [Paste Auth Key from Genea]
Auth Value:                   [Paste Auth Value from Genea]
Set String:                   ON
Reset String:                 ON

Also make sure this is the payload for Set/Reset - 

{
  "uuid": "%DEVICE@UUID%",
  "ip": "%SYSTEM@IP%",
  "mac": "%SYSTEM@MAC%",
  "date": "%SYSTEM@DATE%",
  "time": "%SYSTEM@TIME%",
  "trigger": "%EID@TRIGGER%",
  "allData": "%DATA@ALL%"
}

3.2 Heartbeat Setup
The Heartbeat is a regular signal sent from the Triton sensor to Genea every few minutes. It confirms the sensor is active and online.

If this is not set correctly:

  • The sensor may appear offline in Genea even if it's working

  • You might see a status mismatch

  • Alerts could be missed or delayed

💡 Recommended interval: 1 minute for accurate real-time tracking.
​

On your Triton Sensor Dashboard:

  1. Navigate to the Platform Integration section

  2. Scroll to Heartbeat Settings

  3. Fill in the following and click on Save:

Enable Heartbeat:       ON
Protocol:               HTTP
Server:                 https://api-sensor.sequr.io/v1/triton/event
Method:                 POST
Content-Type:           application/json
Auth Method:            Basic Auth
Auth Key:               [Paste from Genea]
Auth Value:             [Paste from Genea]
Interval:               1 minute

Also make sure this is the Payload

{
  "uuid": "%DEVICE@UUID%",
  "ip": "%SYSTEM@IP%",
  "mac": "%SYSTEM@MAC%",
  "date": "%SYSTEM@DATE%",
  "time": "%SYSTEM@TIME%",
  "allData": "%DATA@ALL%"
}

3.3 Configure Event Settings (Event Trigger Setup)
Triton supports 26+ event types, including:

  • Vape Detection

  • Gunshot

  • Loitering

  • Air Quality: CO2, PM2.5, TVOC, AQI

  • Keyword detection: "Help Me", "Shooter", "Emergency", etc.

To configure: Go to Event → Event Settings in the Triton dashboard

Genea currently supports 26 distinct event types that can be transformed into event logs and alarms. These events are identified by specific Event Identifiers, which are case-sensitive and (❗️Important) must exactly match the values listed below. Genea processes event logs and alarms based on the Event Identifier provided.

3.4 Configure Action Settings

To enable reception of real-time event data in Genea Cloud, configure the action settings as follows:

  • Navigate to the Actions section in the triton sensor Dashboard.

  • Go to Action Settings.

  • For each Event Identifier you wish to monitor:

  • Ensure the both Set and Reset events are enable for HTTP.

  • Click Save to apply your settings.

Post this the configured Triton sensor will start showing online in the genea portal.

Go to the genea portal and after selecting your location, Click on Sensors in Hardware section.

You can also start reading the data which was configured earlier on Triton's dashboard and for which http set and reset was turned ON.

4. Mapping Sensors to Floor Plans

4.1 Why Floor Mapping

Visually mapping your Triton sensors allows you to monitor their exact locations within your facility. This makes it easier to trace events, understand coverage, and respond quickly to incidents.

Once mapped, sensors will:

  • Appear on your real-time floor plan view

  • Show up on custom dashboards

  • Be linked with event pop-ups (e.g., “Vaping Detected in Lobby – Sensor A”)

4.2 Setting up Floor Mapping

  1. Navigate to the Floor Plans tab in the Genea dashboard

  2. Select the Floor from the menu.

  3. Click on Add Device in the top left corner (pencil icon)

    • Go to sensors List

  4. On the floor plan canvas:

    • Select the correct Location (e.g., Main Entrance, Conference Room)

    • Drag the sensor icon to the exact position it is installed in real life

  5. Click on the sensor to view it's status, data and event logs

Your sensor is now mapped and will show its status (online/offline) and live event markers directly on the floor plan.

5. Viewing Logs and Creating Alarms

5.1. View Event Logs

All sensor generated events are automatically captured in your Genea Activity Log, helping you track what happened, when, and where.

Each event includes:

  • Timestamp - Exact date and time of the event

  • Sensor Name - So you know which device detected it

  • Event Type & Value - For example: Vape = 2, CO2 = 1024 ppm

  • Payload Snapshot (allData) - Complete data object with all environmental metrics at the time of the event

You can use filters to:

  • Search for a specific event type (e.g., PM2.5, Aggression)

    For more filters and export logs go to Activity Section in the left panel of the dashboard

    • Filter by location, sensor, or time period in the Activity section from the left panel.

    • Export logs for audits or diagnostics

This log is especially useful when reviewing historical incidents or matching sensor data with video footage.

5.2 Enable Alarms for Key Events

You can configure browser web push notifications for high priority events, so your team is notified the moment something important happens.

  1. Go to Global Overview under Alarm Management section of left pane go to settings

  2. Click on Sensor Events

  3. Toggle alerts ON for the events you care about most:

    • Vaping Detected

    • Keyword: “Help Me”, “Shooter”, or “Emergency”

    • Aggression

    • Loitering

    • AQI or CO2 crossing a safe threshold

  4. To learn more on Alarm Management

Alerts are triggered based on the triggered events you configured in the Triton dashboard.

Troubleshooting

If something doesn’t look right, like the sensor appears offline or you're not seeing events, here are quick things to check:

Sensor shows as offline?

  • Make sure Heartbeat is enabled in the Triton dashboard

  • Set interval to 1 minute

  • Double check your Auth Key and Endpoint URL

  • Confirm your network isn’t blocking outbound traffic

Not receiving events in Genea?

  • Ensure HTTP Set and Reset are enabled for each event in Triton

  • Use the correct payload format (with trigger field)

  • Check if the Event Identifier is spelled exactly (case-sensitive)
