Tags and custom fields<\/p>\n

IoT sensor tags and custom fields: find any sensor, fast<\/h1>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Why attributes matter<\/h2>

The data a sensor sends is only half of what you need to run a fleet.<\/p>

Any number of attributes<\/h3>

Describe each sensor with the attributes that matter to your operation.<\/p><\/div>

Search by placement<\/h3>

Find all sensors in a building, floor, room or site.<\/p><\/div>

Search by function<\/h3>

Find every temperature, leak or energy sensor in one go.<\/p><\/div>

Built for large systems<\/h3>

The bigger the installation, the more you gain from structured devices.<\/p><\/div>

Works with bulk actions<\/h3>

Find the right group, then act on all of them at once.<\/p><\/div>

Context stays with the device<\/h3>

Information that sensors never send is stored where you need it.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

Examples of attributes<\/h2>

What you might store on a device.<\/p>

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>
What are tags and custom fields?<\/summary>

They are attributes you add to a device, so you can describe it and find it by things like placement or function.<\/p><\/details>

How many attributes can I add?<\/summary>

As many as you need.<\/p><\/details>

Why use them?<\/summary>

In a large system you need to find the right sensors quickly. Attributes let you search by placement, function or any property you define.<\/p><\/details>

Can I combine them with bulk actions?<\/summary>

Yes. Find a group of sensors by their attributes, then act on them together.<\/p><\/details>

Is it useful for small installations?<\/summary>

It helps at any size, and becomes more valuable as the number of sensors grows.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/section>\n
