Each Inteligateway communicates with the Ibis.io cloud service every few seconds to send data reports from sockets, and to receive requests to control sockets and queries for the health of the mesh network at an installation. If the Inteligateway is not able to make a connection to Ibis.io temporarily, data is simply stored on the gateway and the connections are retried periodically.
The gateway can store data from a full complement of sockets (100 per gateway) for about 8 hours, and for a long period if there are fewer sockets connected to a gateway.
When the gateway re-establishes contact with Ibis.io, the cached data from sockets is sent and then is available in reports and time-series graphs of power consumption.
