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 need an account in on d.nwave.io using PIN-code which was provided to you. This account must be created by an active site user and the registration must be completed. After that, you can use the same credentials in the app.

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 must be performed after sensor installation and fixing with the parking space is free . The sensors of vehicles. A smartphone or tablet must have internet connection and be in Bluetooth (5m / 15 ft) range from the calibrated sensor.
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.
Important Note: If you are testing occupancy status change with a sensor not firmly fixed to the surface please make sure that the sensor remains stationary and is not moved or rotated during or after calibration. Repeated calibration is required after sensor movement or rotation.

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).
