No, not exclusively. While CityProbe is a perfect match for CityFlow, our vision from the beginning was to create a platform that can visualize city data in real-time across hardware products. In addition, data from CityProbes can also be sent to 3rd party platforms.

Within the Settings panel of the platform you can define your own custom device type - name it, select which parameters it measures etc. Once this is complete you get a JSON code snippet, which shows an example of how data should be sent from the device to our platform. After that you simply configure your data collection platform to forward data to us in the specified format.

The user account fee of 7 EUR gives you access to the platform as well as an unlimited amount of shared devices. So if your organization has e.g. a CityProbe network they can give you access to all the devices free of charge. In addition, three 3rd party devices are included in the CityFlow account, meaning you can experiment with your own devices before adding your entire fleet to the platform. Once you are ready to add more devices, you simply add them at a fixed price of 3 EUR per month / device.

Making an organization is simple. You create an account and start inviting people from the Settings panel. The cost of each user is 7 EUR/month. When creating an organization, payment is done by one administrator, meaning that the users you invite don’t need to add a credit card. If you have or plan to establish a CityProbe network, you get one user account and one 3rd party device free of charge for each CityProbe that has an active subscription. In practice you just invite users and add 3rd party devices as normal, and the free users and devices will automatically be discounted from your bill
