Sensors is the view which contains all sensors currently installed in the system. Here you can add new sensors, edit existing sensors, modify sensor group belongings, readout sensors or remove sensors.

Infrastructure is where you will find your infrastructural devices for example M-Bus masters or Wireless M-Bus receivers. Here you can check the status or change the settings of such devices.

Integration is where you can setup and manage data exports to external systems, for example: Modbus TCP/RTU, MBus over IP, FTP or HTTPS exports.

System is where you handle all system settings. This includes IP address settings, security settings, user settings, software updates etc.

Selecting or unselecting by using [Ctrl] key - Select random sensors by holding the [Ctrl] key while selecting sensors. The [Ctrl] key can also be used to unselect sensors.

Sorting and grouping in tables#

Sorting the tables

The table in the sensor view can be sorted on any column by pressing the column name. Every click toggles between no sorting, Ascending, Descending.

Group sensors by column

The sensor in the list can be grouped by column. To enable grouping, pull the column header to the empty field above the column header. To remove grouping, simply press the X after the grouped column.


Groups#

Groups are a central concept in the MIVO Connect. One sensor can exist in several groups and a group can have several sensors. Groups are used in data exports to decide the sensors that should be exported. Groups are also an easy way to organize sensors.

Adding or Removing a group can be done on the Sensors view in the information pane on the right side of the window.

Note

The Information pane can be expanded or hidden by pressing the paperclip. Paperclip

Note

To add or remove groups on multiple nodes use the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys on your keyboard to mark several sensors at once.
