Managing Devices

The Devices section of the Andel Cloud portal gives you a central view of all the smart devices connected to your selected scheme. From here, you can view live status, assign zones, update settings, and perform maintenance actions like renaming or deleting devices.

Device Table Overview

Each row in the device list displays:

• Device Name - user-friendly name set during device onboarding (editable)

• Device ID - internal unique ID used to track each device

• Location - assigned zone or area

• Input devices - type of sensor

• Output devices - type of output (not currently used)

These can be filtered to quickly find devices by their name or location.

Device Details View

To find more device information, click on the row of the device then click the "View Details" button at the top of the table.

From here you can update the device settings and view all of the device parameters.

Clicking on a blue link, such as the number of archived events, will take you to the relevant page with the results automatically filtered to just the device you were viewing the details for.

At the top of the page are the device live details:

• Device Cloud ID - internal unique ID used to track each device

• Location - full breadcrumb of the location showing exactly where it is

• Tenants - the assigned tenants that can access this device

• Input Device - type of sensor

• Output Device - type of output (not currently used)

• Alarm Groups - number of alarm groups the device is part of

• Events - number of live and past (archived) events

• Firmware Version - the current version of the software on this device

• Hardware Version - the version of the physical hardware

• Device Timestamp - the time last reported by the device, usually the time of the last uplink

• Updated At - the time any details about the device were last changed, including the last uplink

• Created At - the time the device was first added to this scheme

Below this is the Reported State section:

• Sensor State - "Off" means no leak detected, "On" means there is a leak

• Sensor Resistance - the measured resistance from the leak sensor input

• WiFi SSID - the name of the connected WiFi network

• WiFi RSSI - the signal strength of the connected WiFi network; above -60dBm is good, between -60dBm and -70dBm is OK, and below -70dBm is poor. It is possible for the device to make a connection with an RSSI as low as -90dBm, but this will be very unreliable.

• Battery Charging - whether or not the battery is being charged, only applies to certain devices

• Battery Percentage - estimate of remaining battery life, batteries need recharging or replacing below 20%

Changing Device Settings

By clicking the "Edit Attributes" button at the top of the device page, you can edit the following parameters:

• Device Name - the friendly name used to identify exactly where the device is within its zone

• Device Location - assigned zone within the scheme
