Introduction
Device Management app is used to calibrate, reboot, and update Nwave devices via BLE. Some of these operations are used in the Splace and Replace 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 which operations and on which devices each user(client can have multiple users with different permissions to different projects) can perform. Generally, you need to be not farther than 10 meters from a device to interact with it in the app.
Installation
At the moment, only Android version is available. You can download it at Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.nwave.devicemanagement).
Login
To log in to 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
List of devices on which you can perform different actions
Button to scan nearby BLE devices, only Nwave devices will be shown
Button to add devices by their serial number.
Button to scan QR code to add a device to the list
Button to enter box number to add all sensors from the box to the list
Button to Open options menu
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 sensors 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 green after successful command completion)
Calibration
Calibration of parking sensors should be done when the parking space is free. The 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 Calibrate in the pop-up menu.
Firmware update
Menu item to select firmware
Switch to enable/disable Update mode(bulk update)
Step-by-step instructions to update a single device
Select the firmware file by clicking Options (stack menu) -> Select Firmware
Tap on the selected device’s record
Choose Update Firmware item in the pop-up menu
Step-by-step instructions to perform a bulk update
Select the firmware file by clicking Options (stack menu) -> Select Firmware
Set the Updater Mode: Options -> Updater mode
Add multiple devices by scanning BLE devices, entering box numbers or serial numbers
When a device has been updated its record becomes green. In case of firmware loading error tap on the device’s record and select “Retry”.
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).
