Cloud is the optional last step in the pipeline. Everything works without it — your sensors report to your hubs, and Local gives you full analysis and ownership on site. Cloud adds one thing: a private copy of your data, off-site, for when you’re not standing in the shed.
It’s still your data. “Cloud” here means a copy you control, kept somewhere you can reach from anywhere — not a SaaS account that owns your readings and rents them back to you.
How the data gets there
A hub on a remote site needs a way out. OGLAS supports several, and the right one depends on what your site has:
- Mobile / LTE — a SIM in the hub where there’s mobile coverage. Simple and cheap where it’s available.
- Wi-Fi / Ethernet — if the site already has internet from a local provider, the hub just uses it.
- Satellite — for sites with no terrestrial option at all. See the Satellite Hub.
- HaLow and other long-range links — Wi-Fi HaLow (902–928 MHz) and similar long-range options can carry data from a hard-to-reach hub to a point that does have a connection, without a telco in the field.
Whichever path you use, only what you choose to send goes up — the full-resolution record always stays local on site.
What Cloud gives you
- A full private copy — your data kept safely off-site, available now and into the future. A second home for your history, beyond the on-site backup.
- Remote access from your phone — check the site while you’re in town, on another property, or on the other side of the country. The trough that’s low, the forklift that’s idle, the battery that’s dropping — without driving back.
- Sharing, on your terms — give another person a view: a business partner, a contractor, a family member, a client. They see what you allow, and nothing more.
- Still yours, still private — no account holds your data hostage, no “premium tier” gates your history. Sharing is something you switch on, per person, per view.
A look at it
OGLASCloud is the web app behind all of this — the same data, reachable from a browser anywhere or installed on your phone.
From anywhere, on any screen
The home view is a live overview of the site, built from the cards and charts you care about:
The same dashboard travels to your phone, for when you’re away from site:
It installs like any app — one tap to your sites:
Dig into the data
Drill into any station and metric, over any time range:
Purpose-built views pull the right sensors together. Power — battery voltage, current, charge power, and daily yield from a Victron MPPT:
Weather and environment — each metric across every device that reports it:
Water and troughs over time — tank depth, trough levels, and trough locations on a map:
Vehicles and engine hours — trips, distance, fuel and maintenance, plotted on a map:
Alerts that reach you
Define threshold alerts per station and metric, repeated at most as often as you choose:
And get the push notification the moment one trips, wherever you are — here an ultrasonic level dropping below 750, delivered over LTE:
Many sites, shared on your terms
Manage every station on a site — its type, reading count, and when it was last seen:
Classify a station so its data lands in the right view:
Switch between every site you own or have been given access to:
And share on your terms — add members by email, set read-only access, and create private ingest and share links:
Local first, Cloud optional
The two halves work together:
- Local is the source of truth — full data, full analysis, on your hardware, always.
- Cloud is the off-site copy and the remote window into it — added when you want reach beyond the site, left off when you don’t.
Want a specific cloud setup — your own server, particular sharing rules, an integration with something you already run? That’s a custom build.
