Device Management
Overview
The Device Management module is one of the core functional modules of the data platform, providing centralized management and monitoring of connected devices. Users can access this module via the menu bar or the home page quick entry to perform operations such as device query, detail viewing, basic information modification, tag management, and alarm configuration.
The module supports device management for various access methods including LoRaWAN, MQTT, API, and Bluetooth, and provides complete device lifecycle management functions, including device addition, detail viewing, time-series data query, and device deletion, enabling comprehensive operational monitoring of IoT devices.
To ensure the following operational process proceeds normally, please confirm that you have Project Administrator permissions.

tipLoRaWAN is a common access method for IoT devices. The system supports standard ChirpStackV3 or V4 formats, as well as custom data formats. On this page, you can view which MQTT server, which topic, and which data format this device uses for pushing data, etc.
- MQTT Access Information
tipThe MQTT method can access both IoT and non-IoT devices. On this page, you can view which MQTT server, which topic, and which data format this device uses for pushing data, etc.
- OpenAPI Access Information
tipThe OpenAPI method can access both IoT and non-IoT devices. On this page, you can view which token this device uses for pushing device data, etc.
- Bluetooth Access Information
tipThe Bluetooth method can access all devices supporting Bluetooth connection. On this page, you can view which App pushes data for this device.
Device Alarm History
Device alarm history allows you to view all alarm messages for this device, as well as message sending status, etc.
- View Message List
