The release includes 2 major features:
Notifications about base stations health status change
SPlace integration
Base Station Status Notifications
Notifications about changes of station online and health status now are available via email. You can go to the individual station page and add a responsible person. This responsible person will receive notifications to the specified email.
Responsible persons have roles which can indicate the issues this individual can resolve. Anyone with a valid email address can be added as a responsible person and notifications can be turned off. Therefore the responsible person list can include anyone who is interested in the station’s status and can assist in case of issues.
Let's consider an example of adding a Responsible Person:
Go to a station page and click on [+] button next to the ADD RESPONSIBLE PERSONS label.
If you want to add a Responsible Person who is not registered in the Nwave’s Console, fill the Responsible Person Registration form and press the ADD button.
If you want to add an existing console user as a responsible person, you can switch to the right tab and choose one of the Nwave Console Users or one of the previously added responsible persons.
When you complete these steps, your Responsible Persons will be added to the list. They will receive an email notification when the station will go offline or lose connection to the radio-receiver.
You are able to see all the responsible persons and their responsibilities in the Settings → Responsible Persons page.
SPlace integration
Now, you don't need to open a new tab and go to the web-version of the SPlace App every time you want to position devices on the map. We have added buttons on the pages:
Device Management → Zones
Device Management → Groups
Device Management → Positions
Device Management → Devices
When you click on this button, SPlace will be opened in a new window and partial data will be already filled in. For example, let’s consider device positioning:
Find an unpositioned device on the Device Management → Devices page and click on the button
A new window will be opened with the web-version of the SPlace App. If you never logged in before, please do. You can use the credentials of d.nwave.io to log in to SPlace App. If you logged in at least once, you will see the BIND DEVICE form:
Select or create a Zone, Level and a Group for a new position. Click on the BIND button to proceed.
Set location of the new position. You can move map under the yellow pin and use zoom to set the location precisely. Click on the OK button to create the new position for the device.
The position is created and the device is bound to it. Now you can click on the marker and see that the device is in the position.
Be careful
Devices in the boxes have to be activated and calibrated before using. You can do that only with the SPlace and Device Management Android apps.
The method of device positioning in the SPlace Web App should only be used with already calibrated devices. Devices which were never calibrated will not send any data until calibration is performed.
Calibration should always be performed after the device is securely mounted on the road surface.
Calibration should be repeated if a device is repositioned.
