Device onboarding
An Example Device is a simulated device which has a Sensor with randomly generated observations and an Actuator. It will help you to get acquainted with the functionality, let you see telemetry in ProptechOS and test actuation.
1. Start by selecting the building on the map where you want to create an Example device. Once you’ve done that, uncollapse the Twin tab, click on Rooms. You may switch to the table view for convenience.
2. Next, select the room where you want to create your example device.
3. Now it’s time to create your device. Click on the plus sign to open the “Create Device” window. “Mounted in” and “Coordinates” are already pre-filled based on your room selection.
4. Please provide a name for your new device – this will help you find it later on. You can also add a formal or technical designation for the device if you’d like, using the “Littera” field.
For this example, please select “Data Acquisition” as the device function type.
When you’re ready, click the “Create” button to submit the form and create your device.
