General

Device EUI

The device EUI is used to uniquely identify the device. You can also find the device EUI on the label on the back of the device.

Activation Date

The date the device was registered on the system.

Last Connection

Indicates when the device last connected to the Avelon server.

LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN Network Provider

Indicates which LoRaWAN network provider the device is currently registered with. To learn how to change your network provider, see LoRaWAN network provider.

Application EUI

The EUI of the application on the LoRaWAN server to which this device is assigned. Only available if the device is self-managed.

Application Key

The key of the application on the LoRaWAN server to which this device is assigned. Only available if the device is self-managed.

Application ID

The ID of the application on the LoRaWAN server to which this device is assigned.

Allow access to this device in the public web app without login

If you want to use the QR code on the device to quickly access its measurements, keep this option enabled. However, this will make the device accessible on iot.avelon.cloud to anyone who has access to the QR code. If you deactivate the option, the device and its measurements can only be accessed when you’re logged in. You can change this setting at any time.

Location

Address

The location address of the device. If you fill in this field, the device will be displayed on the map widget and in the map navigation.

GPS

If the address input above is insufficient, you can also specify the location of the device using GPS coordinates.

Device access

Here you configure which user groups are allowed to access the device and its data points. If users should see data points or their recordings or live values, they need to have access to the respective device on which these data points are located.

To add a user group, click on Add User Group and select a user group from the list. All users in that user group will get access to the device. To remove a user group, click on Remove next to the corresponding user group.

Granting access to a device also enables access to the device via our public API.

Note that users with the action right “Show all devices” can see all devices of the client, regardless of their respective user groups.

Alerting

Enable Watchdog

Activate the watchdog to be notified if the device does not report in for a longer period of time. This allows you to react in time in the event of a device defect or insufficient transmission power. Select the desired alarm chain from the dropdown.

Warning

Watchdog alarm tickets cannot be closed until the device sends an acknowledgment that the alarm is gone and that the connection with the server is reestablished. As a result, when trying to close a ticket prior to device acknowledgment, the following error message is displayed: “This ticket cannot be closed. The alarm must be acknowledged by the device first”.

Enable Battery Alarm

Activate the battery alarm to be notified if the battery falls below a certain threshold. Select the desired alarm chain from the dropdown.

Gateways

The LoRaWAN gateways with which the sensor was recently in contact are displayed on the map. For a gateway to be displayed correctly, the operator of the gateway must have stored the correct GPS coordinates on the device.
