Add/Edit Device

This documentation outlines the steps required to add a new sensor to the system using the Sensor Dashboard Admin interface. The process includes scanning the device, configuring its settings, and activating it to begin transmitting data.

---

1. Accessing the Sensor Dashboard Admin

Navigate to the Sensor Dashboard Admin. This is the main interface for managing devices and configuring system settings for temperature monitoring.

---

2. Attaching a Device

a. Scanning the Device DevEUI

• Click the QR button beside the input field.

• Use the camera interface to scan the QR code of the sensor.

• This will auto-fill the DevEUI field with the unique identifier of the device.

b. Labeling the Sensor

• Enter a Label in the provided field.

• This label typically represents the name of the fridge, freezer, or storage unit (e.g., "Walk-in Freezer – Main Kitchen").

c. Selecting the Profile

• The Profile is auto-selected based on the device (e.g., Dragino LHT65).

d. Choosing an Alert Template

• Select a predefined Alert Template from the dropdown:

  • Cold Storage

  • Cold Storage (Probe)

  • Cold Storage (Both)

  • Frozen Storage

  • Frozen Storage (Probe)

  • Frozen Storage (Both)

The selected template will apply relevant alert thresholds and compliance values.

e. Attaching the Device

• Click the green Attach button.

• The sensor is now linked to the dashboard.

3. Activating the Device

a. Physical Activation

• Press the sensor’s physical button fully down and hold it for a few seconds.

• When the LED begins flashing green, release the button.

• This action sends a join request to the gateway and server.

The device is now activated and will begin transmitting telemetry data.

4. Tagging the Sensor

Tags categorize the type of storage:

• Cold Storage

• Frozen Storage

• Hot Holding

Importance of Tags:

Tags are used to generate graphs and differentiate sensor data by application type. Always assign the correct tag after attaching the device.

---

5. Sensor Card and Telemetry

Once activated:

• A sensor card appears on the dashboard.

• After a few minutes, the telemetry data begins displaying.

• The system auto-updates graphs and dashboards with incoming data.

---

6. Sensor Provisioning Notes

• Each sensor comes with a unique DevEUI.

• Provisioned sensors have pre-uploaded configuration data including keys and profiles.

• Users only need to scan and assign the DevEUI during setup.

---

This process ensures each sensor is correctly assigned, activated, and ready to monitor temperature conditions in accordance with compliance requirements.
