This module enhances the Odoo Point of Sale (POS) application by enabling direct connection to electronic scales. It provides seamless integration for businesses that need to weigh products and calculate prices based on weight, without the need for additional IoT hardware.
Compatible with most electronic scales, including USB and serial port connections, supporting real-time weight reading.
- Direct Scale Connection with jIotBox: Integrates with jIotBox, bypassing the need for the IoT Box and enabling direct communication with electronic scales from Odoo POS. This ensures accurate weight readings and supports a wide range of scale models.
- Real-Time Weight Reading: Automatically captures product weights from the scale and calculates prices based on weight, streamlining the checkout process for weight-based products.
- Easy Setup: Simple configuration through POS settings, no complex hardware setup required.
POS Scale Configuration
Go to Point of Sale → Configuration → Point of Sale to access the configuration settings for your POS terminal. In the 'Connected Devices' section, check the 'IoT Box' option, then enable 'Electronic Scale' and 'Show Scale in POS' to activate scale functionality:
Scale in Action
It's crucial to ensure that the required drivers are correctly installed for optimal performance. Without the proper drivers, your electronic scale may not function as expected, leading to errors in weight readings and price calculations.
Before using this module, double-check that all scale drivers are installed and up to date. Proper driver installation helps prevent compatibility issues and ensures seamless communication between Odoo POS and your electronic scale via jIotBox.
Ensuring secure communication for jIotBox on Windows involves several critical steps, from installing package managers to setting up SSL certificates. Here's a detailed walkthrough:
- Go to the jIotBox settings.
- Look for the "Enable SSL" option within the settings.
- Check the box to activate SSL.
- Find the section to configure the IP address ("Local Ip").
- Enter the local server IP address.
- Save the changes.
If you encounter any CORS errors, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox and disabling CORS. CORS errors might occur when accessing certain resources due to security restrictions enforced by the browser.
To disable strict origin policy
in Firefox, type
about:config in the
address bar. Search for
security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
and set it to
false. This
adjustment can help when working
with local files and testing
across different origins.
To disable mixed content
warnings in Firefox, enter
about:config into
the address bar and search for
security.mixed_content.block_active_content.
Set it to false.
This change allows loading of
mixed active content, which can
help during development and
testing.
Unfortunately, we can't disable these security features in Chrome or Safari using similar methods. In these cases, it's necessary to use other approaches to resolve the issue, such as ensuring all resources are served over HTTPS or using a development proxy that handles HTTPS.
