Yup it's true.....our project requirements require us to Install our My Building software product at your facility. What's My Building you say? Check out these helpful articles to learn more about it:

Often, we are supplying My Building software on computer that is shipped to your job and installed either in our rack or you're equipment rack. We buy our computers form Superlogics and image them in our Tualatin, OR, facility. Most of the time they are shipped pre-configured ready to go but sometimes we also configure them onsite. If you'd prefer to install on your hardware, or, on a VM, we can make this shift. Please work through the appropriate channels and so long as the change made before we start work, we can make the change at no charge. Setting up a VM will require remote access to the computer so our devops engineers can get in and get the work done. Alternatively, we'll give you setup instructions and you can do it on your own. Our field tech will need it setup and ready to go when they get on site.

System Architecture
There are only a few decision points here, we just need to know what direction you want to go.


What we need from you:
  • System Architecture Option
  • FQDN - full qualified domain name of the server, ex: myBuidling.LevitonControls.lan
  • Preferred domain name of the lighting network, if you don't tell us, it will be LevitonControls.lan
  • For access to server, should it be https or http? If https:
    • Are Lets Encrypt certificates suitable? If so, the machine will need
      • Public DNS resolvable host name
      • Accessibility from the internet for domain ownership validation
      • If not, certificates will need to be provided
    • What email address should be used for the Lets Encrypt certificate?
    • What should auto-renewal time be? We default to 3am
  • SMTP Server - we use SMTP to send email notifications.
    • SMTP Server Name
    • SMTP Port
    • Username/password for authentication
    • From Email Address
    • From Name
  • Platform Admin account holders - the My Building software has a security role titled "Platform Admin" for which the unique permissions are to import/export projects, add/remove firmware, etc. Who should hold this role? Recommend an IT team member and a maintenance lead.
