Device Property Details

*The Device Property Details screen is accessed by selecting and clicking a device on the Advanced Device screen. This screen allows the editing of device property, setting of property alert levels and sending of a property control value where allowed.

The Device Property Detail screen in VIEW mode shows all properties of the device that have the SYNC toggle set to ON only. To see all the properties of the device EDIT mode should be selected by clicking the EDIT button.

This screen shows the current values of the properties, if a property is controllable, if the property has an alert level set and the current status of the properties.

If a device property is controllable selecting the property then scrolling to the bottom of the screen will allow setting of the property value.

To Set or Edit alert levels refer to the Edit Alert Levels topic.

Edit Device

The EDIT DEVICE button allows editing of device level settings for the current device.

Ctrl : If this toggle is off no properties on this device can be controlled. This would normally be off for a vessel that only requires monitoring.
Notification : If toggle is off notification for this device will not be sent to the user. Notification toggle is set at per user level.

These properties can also be controlled from the toggles on the main Device Property Detail screen, along with the Sync property:

Sync : if this toggle is off no device or property values or settings for this device will be synced to the cloud.

*Manually added MODBUS and KNX devices can also have the gateway and device addresses changed with this option. When changing these care must be taken to ensure any property or feedback addresses are still correct on the device properties.
