Sensors Integration - Q-SYS

Q-SYS is an advanced control system that can manage everything from speakers, screens, and projectors to blinds, ventilation, and door locks – fully automated through sensors or panels such as the Humly Room Display. 

Humly is a Certified Technology Partner with Q-SYS. This is a part of evolving Humly Sense, the sensor integration platform that connects third-party sensors.  

Humly devices and software can now also be integrated directly through drag-and-drop in Q-SYS Designer, using a dedicated plugin that simplifies installation and configuration.

Introduction

In this guide, we will walk you through how to download and install Humly Plug-in to Q-SYS Designer, configure it with Humly Control Panel, and integrate it with the resources inside Humly Control Panel

Features and Use Cases

  • Two-way communication: Sensors can trigger actions, and panels can control other devices. 
  • Automations: For example, start a projector, adjust lighting, lower blinds when the meeting starts or is checked in.
  • Flexible integration: Supports third-party sensors and adapts to various environments like meeting rooms, universities, museums, and arenas.
  • Access control: enables door unlocking based on bookings or check-ins
  • Investment: requires a Q-SYS processor, network switch, and sensors.

Important: Integrating Humly and Q-SYS must be carried out by a certified Q-SYS technical engineer and cannot be performed directly by the end customer.

In this section, we will show you how to download and install the Humly plug-in in Q-SYS Designer, configure your Humly Control Panel credentials, and assign resources to the plug-in.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Go to the Q-SYS Library.

  • Sign in and Search for “Humly.

  • Add the Humly plug-in and check out.

Once the Humly plug-in has been added to your library, you are ready to download and install it in Q-SYS Designer.

Q-SYS Designer - Humly Plug-in configuration

Ensure you are using the latest version of Q-SYS Designer

  • Open Q-SYS Designer 

  • From the Tools menu, select Asset Installer. The new Humly plug-in should now be visible and available for installation.
  • Click install, and ensure the plug-in installation is completed
  • Now the plug-in is installed and ready to be configured. Search for Humly in the component section, drag and drop the plug-in to your design page.
  • Start the emulator, and double click on the plug-in, you should see the setup page
  • In the setup, you have to configure the below values:
    • Cloud ID or the FQDN of your Humly Control Panel
      for example: 12345, or your-hcp.domain.com
    • Username: The user name of a Humly Control Panel Global Admin
    • Password: The Password of the selected global admin account
      Once the previous three values are entered correctly, you should see the connection status change to green and OK.
  • Once the status is green and connected, you can select the resource that you want to configure the plug-in to use. You can achieve that by selecting the resource from the structure (Country>City>Building>Floor>Room)


  • Once the resource is configured, Q-SYS plug-in should be able to fetch the meeting and room status from Humly Control Panel
  • From the enviroment tab, you can select which data you want to push from Q-SYS to Humly Control Panel resource, these data should be fetched from the sensors based on the actual design.
  • It is possible to duplicate the configuration for each resource you want to configure
