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.
