View
In here the options such as "Security, Device details, Telemetry, Logs, Settings, Files, Deployement History" that provide more detailed information and functionalities related to the selected device.
Security
The "Security" allows you to access and manage the security settings and permissions associated with the device. You can configure authentication, authorization, and other security-related aspects to ensure the device's data and functionalities are protected. In the security settings of the device, you will find a field to specify the authentication type. This field allows you to define the method of authentication used to secure the device. In the case you mentioned, you would select the "Symmetric Key" authentication type.
It's for the security mechanism where both the device and the server share a common secret key. This key is used to authenticate the device and establish a secure connection between the device and the server. By specifying the symmetric key in the authentication field, you ensure that only devices with the correct key can establish a connection and communicate with the server.
Using primary key and secondary key authentication adds an extra layer of security as it requires knowledge of the shared key to access and communicate with the device. This prevents unauthorized users from misusing or gaining access to the device's functionalities or data.By inputting the symmetric key in the authentication field, you establish a secure and private communication channel between the device and the server, ensuring that no outside users can use or misuse the device without the knowledge of the shared key.
Device Details
These device details help provide a comprehensive overview of the selected device, including information about its hardware, software, physical location, and GPS data if applicable. It allows users to understand the technical specifications, location, and firmware-related information of the device within the OneSense platform.
Telemetry
In the telemetry column, you will find the added parameters of the device along with their respective units of measurement. These parameters represent the specific data points or measurements that the device is capturing and transmitting.
By monitoring the telemetry status, you can understand the device's health and performance. The telemetry data provides insights into the device's operation, measurements, and environmental conditions. It helps you assess the device's functionality, detect any abnormalities or anomalies, and ensure that it is operating within the expected range.
For example, if the device is monitoring temperature, the telemetry column may display the parameter "Temperature" with the unit "°C" (Celsius). By reviewing the telemetry status for temperature, you can determine if the temperature readings are within the desired range or if any deviations or issues need attention.
Settings
Within the settings dropdown, you will find the device name, description, and values. Device Name refers to the name or identifier assigned to the device.
It helps in identifying the device among others and provides a unique reference for management purposes.
In the Description field provides additional information about the device, such as its purpose, specifications, or any other relevant details that provide context and clarity. And the Values section displays the current settings or configurations of the device. It includes the specific values assigned to various parameters or properties associated with the device.
Files
Here you will find options to view the file name, file type, and actions related to the files associated with the device.
File Name displays the names of the files that are associated with the device. It helps you easily identify and locate specific files.
File Type provides information about the type or format of each file. It indicates whether the file is a document, image, spreadsheet, or any other supported file format. And Actions contains options or actions related to the files. These actions may include viewing the file, downloading it, and deleting it.
Edit
Here you have the ability to modify various aspects of the device details. This includes security, device details, telemetry, config, node, settings, and files.
To add new properties, Click on the "Add Properties" button within the Telemetry section. Once you have filled in the required Telemetry property and it's corresponding unit, click on the "Save" button to save the added property.
The new property will be added to the device's telemetry data, allowing you to track and monitor this additional information. Remember to save the changes after adding the new properties to ensure that they are successfully incorporated into the device's telemetry data.
To remove an added parameter from the telemetry data, Look for a cross button or delete icon associated with that specific parameter.Click on the cross button or delete icon corresponding to the parameter you wish to remove. By clicking on the cross button or delete icon, you can remove the unwanted parameter from the telemetry data. This helps in decluttering and managing the data by removing any unnecessary or obsolete parameters.
Create New Devices
Click on the "+ Create New Devices" button located at the top of the window. This action will open the new device creation form.
Select the microcontroller or hardware platform used for the new device.
- Enter a unique "Device ID" to identify the new device.
- Specify the "Location" where the device is installed or deployed.
- Select a device profile that defines the parameters and units to be monitored by the device.
- Optionally, add new properties and their units to the device profile.
- Enter the name, description, and corresponding values for the device's settings as needed.
- Upload any relevant files or documentation related to the new device.
Once you have filled in all the necessary details for the new device, review the information to ensure its accuracy. Click the "Save" button, usually located at the bottom to create the new device and save its details in the OneSense platform.
Now you can successfully create a new device and activated, and store its information in the system. The new device will now be available for monitoring, management, and data collection within the OneSense platform.
To View the Device Dashboard
Click on the particular device listed under the "Device Name" column that you want to view the dashboard details for.
Once you click on the device, the platform will display the Device Dashboard details, including telemetry data and the device's location and images.
Click on "Avg" on the aggrigation side, choose the time period you want to view the telemetry and other details for. For example, you can select a specific time range, such as an hour.
You will be able to view the average telemetry values and other relevant details for the chosen time hour.
