Tap on or search for the site you wish to access.
As Assets and Gateways are added to your site, they will appear on the site details page.
Add an asset
From the Site Details screen, select the plus sign, then tap add asset.
Name the Asset.
Select the appropriate environment.

Edit a sensor
You can edit a sensor at any time by browsing Assets and then selecting a sensor.
Select the pencil icon to start editing the sensor. From here, you can:
Rename the Sensor by entering a new name and selecting SAVE.
Unassign the sensor so you can use it with a different asset or a different site within your hierarchy.
Unassigning a sensor stops data from reporting to SmartSense (this can be useful if a sensor is damaged or lost).
Unassigning a sensor will automatically close any alarms that were associated with the sensor.
Unassigning does not delete a sensor, allowing you to still view the sensor from the Asset page.
Delete the sensor from your account.
Deleting a sensor removes the sensor from the asset AND deletes all data that was previously reported.
The deleted sensor can be reassigned as if it is a new sensor without any data history.
View sensor details
To view sensor readings and other details such as sensor ID, select the sensor from the Asset Details page.
A sensor with a GREEN icon (online) is communicating to SmartSense as expected
A sensor with a RED icon (offline) indicates that at least one reporting interval has been missed
