IoT Device Management
Manage device provisioning, user permissions, location tracking, customer creation and more from a centralized platform
About IoT Device Management
IoT device management involves centralized control over all aspects of connected devices, encompassing sensors, meters, PLCs etc. The Device Management Dashboard offers robust functionalities tailored for efficient management of IoT devices and user roles. Administrators can oversee total customers, customer users, and device counts in a read-only mode, alongside viewing device locations on a map. Key functionalities include creating and editing customer profiles, modifying device labels, changing ownership between customers, and updating device coordinates for accurate mapping. User management capabilities empower admins to create, edit, and delete viewer users, manage their usernames, and send activation links for account resets. Viewer users, managed through the settings page, gain access to essential functionalities based on admin-defined permissions. The dashboard ensures data security with role-based authentication, while compliance with IoT data regulations safeguards customer and device information. For support and further assistance, users can refer to the provided contact details or FAQs for troubleshooting common issues.
IoT Device Management solutions provide the foundation for efficient, secure, and scalable management of IoT ecosystems. They empower businesses to optimize device utilization, enhance operational agility, and maintain high standards of security and compliance across their IoT deployments.

Fundamentals of IoT Device Management
IoT device management involves several key steps to ensure the smooth operation of your IoT devices.
Adding and Deleting Devices | This involves registering devices with their unique identifiers and credentials. Once registered, these devices can communicate with the IoT platform and send data. Conversely, if a device is no longer needed or is being replaced, it can be deleted from the system. |
Creating Customers | Users can create customer profiles, enabling the assignment and management of devices specifically for each customer. This includes assigning user roles and permissions tailored to the customer's needs. |

settings. Viewer Users: Users can create, update, and delete viewer profiles. Viewer users have restricted access, typically limited to monitoring and basic interactions with devices. |
Changing Device Ownership | Device ownership can be transferred from one user or customer to another, ensuring proper management and accountability. |
Updating Firmware | IoT devices often need firmware updates to add new features, fix bugs, or patch security vulnerabilities. With the IoT device management app, these updates can be pushed to devices remotely using over-the-air (OTA) mechanisms. |
Monitoring Connection Status | This involves checking whether the devices are online or offline and whether they are functioning properly. Alerts can be set up to notify relevant personnel if a device goes offline or starts malfunctioning. |
Managing Device Credentials | Credentials need to be managed to ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the platform. This involves tasks such as issuing new certificates for new devices, revoking certificates for decommissioned devices, and periodically rotating certificates for security. |
Assigning Devices to Customers | Devices can be assigned to customers or end-users who do not have administrative access to the IoT platform. This allows customers to view data from their devices and manage certain operational aspects. |
Browsing Device Attributes, Telemetry, Alarms, and Events | Administrators can browse various aspects of a device, such as its attributes, telemetry data, alarms, and events, to monitor and analyze performance. |
Managing Device Relations | In complex IoT deployments, different devices might interact with each other and other assets in various ways. These relationships between devices and assets can be managed through the IoT platform. |
Reset Password Links | Administrators can generate and manage reset password links for users to ensure secure access management. |
