Devices

General

Devices belong to workspaces and have many tags. Devices can be part of one or more workspaces.

A device can have various entities like tags, events and rules. More on this later.

It's important to know that devices are known in the platform based on their serial number. So changing this number will interrupt new data from being received.

Creation

Devices are not created by users. They are created via incoming data via for example the Sensori FTP agent or by user created Sources like for example A OpenWeather Fetch API.

Workspaces

Many functions of a device are linked to the workspace(s) its in.

See this page for more on devices and workspace.

Rules

A device can have rules. An example of this is the Connection interval checker rule. This rule checks if a device connects i.e. every 60 minutes. If it doesn't an event will be created. Device rules are created in a workspace.

See this page for more on device rules

State

A device can have one state. This state is normally 'normal', but if something happens to itself or one of its tags this state could change. The following are the possible states;

• Normal

• Warning

• Danger

• Failure
