Link an indoor heat meter to RestShade
Mint a site ingest key, configure a typical Wi-Fi logger or gateway, and land locked readings on today's indoor log.
California indoor heat expects temperature or heat index measured at the workplace, not a ZIP forecast. RestShade lets an indoor site accept HTTPS posts from a meter or gateway. You create a site key, paste it into the device as a Bearer token, and each successful push becomes a Meter reading on today's log with filled values locked. Supervisors still complete duties and sign-off.
Takeaways
- Create ingest keys only on active indoor sites.
- Configure POST, Authorization Bearer, and JSON on the device.
- Confirm a Meter row on today's log before relying on the schedule.
- Revoke a key when a logger leaves the job.

Frequently asked questions
- Can outdoor sites use ingest keys? No. Outdoor sites keep weather and AirNow pull. Ingest keys are for indoor measurement records.
- Does the meter sign the log? No. It only adds a locked reading. A supervisor still completes duties and sign-off.
- What if I lose the secret? Revoke the old key on the site and create a new one. Paste the new secret into the device. RestShade never stores the raw secret after create.
