Scan device

To add a new IoT device to the application, you need to scan the QR code on the label of the device. Go to the main menu and tap on Scan Device. The camera on your computer will automatically turn on. Place the device with the front label in front of the camera, so it can be scanned. If successful, the device will now appear in the device list and start displaying measurements.

If you tap on any of the tiles, the data history from the last week will be displayed in form of a chart.
