# Learn how to set up the Domotz Cisco Meraki integration

## Domotz Cisco Meraki Integration

Remotely monitor your Cisco Meraki devices including firewalls, network switches, and access points, get device status alerts, and access enhanced network management features for certain Meraki devices.

## Prerequisites

Before you can utilize the Meraki integration and view the devices in the network topology, Domotz must first discover all the Meraki devices you intend to monitor, either at Layer 2 or Layer 3.

## How to set up the Domotz Cisco Meraki Integration

If you have Cisco Meraki devices in the network, you can connect Domotz to the Meraki Cloud in order to get additional info and features inside Domotz.

There are some of the additional info/features that you'll get once the Meraki Cloud is connected:

- Software reboots
- PoE switches power control
- Device model, firmware and serial number

To activate this integration you will need the following mandatory field values:

- Meraki API key - you can find how to generate your Meraki API Key [here.](https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/The_Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API)
- Meraki Organization Name - to get your Organization Name you can see [here](https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Meraki_Dashboard_Organizational_Structure) or [here](https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Organizations_and_Networks/Renaming_a_Network_or_Organization).

After getting these two field values you can connect to your Meraki Account from Domotz.
