Introduction

Device Management app is used to calibrate, reboot, and update Nwave devices via BLE. Some of these operations are used in the Splace Splace2 and Replace Replacing applications which allow you to manage installations (deployment) and replacements. The application requires an internet connection to make this process secure. User management configuration allows limiting limitation of which operations and on which devices each every user (client can have multiple users with different permissions to for different projects) can perform. Generally, you need to be not farther than 10 meters from to a device to interact with it in by the app.

Installation

At the moment, only Android version platform is available. You can download it at from Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.nwave.devicemanagement).

Login

To log in to into the app you must first create an account in d.nwave.io using PIN-code which was provided to you. After that, you can use the same credentials in the app.

Application view

...

  1. List of devices on with which you can perform different actions.

  2. Button to scan nearby BLE devices , (only Nwave devices will be shown).

  3. Button to add devices by their serial number.

  4. Button to scan QR code to add for adding a device to the list.

  5. Button to enter box number to add for adding all sensors from the box to the list.

  6. Button to Open options menu.

  7. Pop-up menu with available actions for the selected device (click on device record to open the menu).

The application allows you to perform different actions to with sensors which were added to the list (6). You can add sensors to the list by scanning nearby BLE devices (2), by scanning QR code on the device (4), by manually entering the device’s serial number (3), by entering box number (especially suitable for in-box firmware update).

Device record on the list shows you:

  • serial number;

  • type of device;

  • firmware name/ version;

  • status of the last operation (the record becoming becomes green after successful command completion).

Calibration

Calibration of parking sensors should be done when the parking space is free. The sensors Sensors perform continuous self-calibration and after some time will become fully calibrated even if the calibration was performed on an occupied sensor.

To initiate calibration just add a sensor to the list, click on the sensor’s record and press click on Calibrate in on the pop-up menu.

Firmware update

...

  1. Menu item to select firmware.

  2. Switch to enable/disable Update mode (bulk update).

Step-by-step

...

instruction to update a single device

  1. Select the firmware file by clicking click on Options (stack menu) -> Select Firmware.

  2. Tap Click on the selected device’s device record.

  3. Choose Update Firmware item in on the pop-up menu.

Step-by-step

...

instruction to perform a bulk update

  1. Select the firmware file by clicking click on Options (stack menu) -> Select Firmware.

  2. Set the Updater Mode: Options -> Updater mode.

  3. Add multiple devices by scanning BLE devices, entering box numbers or its serial numbers.

When a device has been updated its record becomes green. In case of firmware loading error tap click on the device’s device record and select “Retry”.

for For optimal loading speed the box and the phone need to be at least 50ft away from the main pallet or sensor storage (minimizes Bluetooth interference).

Note for bulk update of sensors inside boxes: If you have many sensors nearby (greater than 100) it is better to update boxes one-by-one at least 15m (50ft) away from the rest of the sensors (including updated sensors).
