Opito design, build, install and run connected sensors across New Zealand — from road-corridor traffic to council water networks.

Mooven's Smart VMS offering is integrated with Opito, enabling you to set up and control Opito portable signs from within Mooven.

Step-by-step instructions are provided below for connecting to and setting up Opito VMS boards.

Before you can connect to your Opito board, you will require an API key from Opito in order to add it to your connection settings within Mooven.

An API key is a long, random, and meaningless-looking string of letters, numbers, and sometimes symbols. It acts like a digital ID badge or a secret password that an application uses to talk to a server.

Within Mooven, navigate to the monitoring site that will be used to control your VMS sign. From here, select 'SmartVMS' in the top navigation.

Click on the Connections button and select the Opito option from the tabs.

Here you will be able to enter your Opito API Key.

Once you've entered your key be sure to test the connection by clicking on the Test connection button.

If successful, close the modal. You'll now be able to access all the Opito boards that have been allocated to you by Opito.

Click on the Opito smart VMS board.

From here, you will be prompted to give your board a name and Board manufacturer.

Select Opito from the drowndown.

If you have been allocated boards by Opito, you'll then be asked to select from the available boards.

You'll also be prompted to select the format of the board.

Check the specifications of your board as to whether it can accept 12 Characters per line across 3 lines, or the standard 8 characters per line across 3 lines.

You've now connected to your Opito board. Next you'll need to set up messaging. See the guides below for how to configure your messaging.
