Devices

Devices are the units that send data to Busroot over MQTT, such as machine connectors and energy meters. Each device has a Device ID and an Access Token, which it uses to log in to the Busroot MQTT broker. Go to Admin > Devices. Only Admins can see this page.

Only Busroot can create these credentials. You can't choose or type them yourself. A device must be registered here before it can connect and send data.

The Devices list

The list shows the Device ID, Type, Description and Created At date of every registered device.

Add a device

Select Add New, then confirm. Busroot creates a device with a unique Device ID and Access Token. The Device ID is your account ID, then a /, then a value unique to the device.

View a device's credentials

Select View on a device to see its Device ID and Access Token. Enter these on the device itself. For how devices use them to connect, see MQTT. To change the Wi-Fi on a machine connector, see Machine connectors.

Edit a device

Select Edit to set its Type and Description.

Setting	Values	Default	Effect
Type	Unknown, or a device type from the list	Unknown	The kind of device. Set it after the device is installed.
Description	Text	Empty	A note, for example where the device is installed.

Delete a device

When a device should no longer send data to Busroot, Delete it. Its credentials stop working, so it can't connect to the MQTT broker again.
