Tags and custom fields
IoT sensor tags and custom fields: find any sensor, fast
Add as many attributes as you need to each device, such as placement or function, and then search the system database by them. It is especially valuable in large installations.

Why attributes matter
The data a sensor sends is only half of what you need to run a fleet.
Any number of attributes
Describe each sensor with the attributes that matter to your operation.
Search by placement
Find all sensors in a building, floor, room or site.
Search by function
Find every temperature, leak or energy sensor in one go.
Built for large systems
The bigger the installation, the more you gain from structured devices.
Works with bulk actions
Find the right group, then act on all of them at once.
Context stays with the device
Information that sensors never send is stored where you need it.
Examples of attributes
What you might store on a device.
| Example attribute | What it lets you do | |
|---|---|---|
| Placement | Building, floor and room | Find every sensor in one location |
| Function | Temperature, leakage or energy | Group sensors by what they do |
| Responsibility | Owner, customer or contact person | Know who to call when something happens |
| Installation | Installer, installation date or serial number | Keep installation facts together with the device |
These are examples. You decide which attributes your organisation needs.

What are tags and custom fields?
They are attributes you add to a device, so you can describe it and find it by things like placement or function.
How many attributes can I add?
As many as you need.
Why use them?
In a large system you need to find the right sensors quickly. Attributes let you search by placement, function or any property you define.
Can I combine them with bulk actions?
Yes. Find a group of sensors by their attributes, then act on them together.
Is it useful for small installations?
It helps at any size, and becomes more valuable as the number of sensors grows.
