8  Navigating Layer N Cloud 

The Layer N Cloud is the bridge between Layer N Smart Sensing devices and getting your data when you need it on any 

device with a web browser. The Layer N Cloud delivers state and status monitoring, data logging, visualization, and 

analytics. Accounts can be created and accessed by visiting: 

http://cloud.omega.com

  

Once you have access to your account and have completed your initial device pairing, you will be presented with your 

connected devices on the Layer N Cloud interface. 

8.1 

Devices 

After signing in, the

 Devices

 tab immediately presents the readings of all registered Layer N Gateways and their 

connected sensing devices. From here, you may access your gateway details, add additional gateways to your cloud 

account, monitor device health, and access specific sensor analytics.
