  • Add all device owners as Viewer in Device Group if device owner is not in Group
  • Prevent the same group name within the same parent group
  • When delete group, also delete all it's child groups which has no devices or scheduling task

One device belongs to only one device group. One user could belongs to multiple device groups.

As below figure, you could manage group users in Device Group List: grp-user-1.png

Or you could manage group users in the Device Group: grp-user-2.png

🔹 Device List and Filter

Click one Device Group and a side page will appear to show related information. Default page is device list in the group. group-3-n.png

There are several ways to filter devices in Device List and these filters could be combined together.

  1. Device Name: Please input partial device name and press enter. Devices which contains the search key word will be displayed. grp-filter-1.png

  2. Device Status: User could use Device Connection(Online, Offline) or Device Mode(Construction, Operation) to filter devices. grp-filter-2.png

  3. Device Model name: User could select desired Device Model name(ex: ADAM-6256, WISE-4012) to filter devices. grp-filter-3.png

🔹 Multiple Devices Operation

User could select multiple devices to perform the same operation. For example, use could select devices and change their Device Mode by click "..." button and select Change Device Mode as below figure: group-4.png

🔹 Group Monitor

In Monitor tab, overview information for this Device Group is displayed. It includes: device amount, device module types, device connection status, device operation status, amount of current/history parameter events. grp-monitor-1-n.png

🔹 Group Events

In Event tab, there are Connection Event and Parameter Event for devices in the device group.

  • Connection Event: If device does not transmit MQTT messages more than 5 minutes, an offline event is raised. In Connection Tab, events of multiple devices are displayed. grp-event-1-n.png
  • Parameter Event: If user has set Alarm rule for the parameter, a parameter event is raised when alarm condition is met. grp-event-2-n.png User could click check box before Event time to select multiple events and click Edit to perform actions. Please refer to Chapter: "Parameter Event" for details. grp-event-3-n.png

🔹 Group Scheduling

Scheduling is a set of commands that can be performed by devices at specified time. Each command can be set in specified order/sequence. One device group could contains multiple Schedulings. grp-pb-10-n.png

There are two types to trigger a Scheduling:

  • Periodical time: Execute Scheduling periodically
  • Specified time: Execute Scheduling only one time

Scheduling supports following commands:

  • Platform OS Reboot
  • Platform OS Shutdown
  • iBMC Reboot
  • iBMC Force Shutdown
  • iBMC Turn ON
  • iBMC Turn Off

As the below figure, one Scheduling contains following items:

  • Device -- Devices which execute commands
  • Commmand -- Commands which execute in devices
  • Step -- Contains commands and devices -- System will execute commands sequentially according to Step number. User could choose:
    • Sync: waits for all commands to finished in current Step before execute next Step.
    • Non Sync: "not" waits for all commands to finished int current Step before execute next Step.
  • Command Set: -- Contains multiple Steps
