72
73
74 ==== **2.3 Get Devices** ====
75
76 Reach out to your local representative to acquire the necessary devices for your food safety solution. These devices include:
77
78 1. **End Nodes**: For temperature and humidity monitoring.
79 1. **Gateway**: For data transmission.
80
81 Ensure that all devices are pre-registered on **ThingsEye.io** before use.

97
98
99 ==== **2.5 Add Devices to the Branch** ====
100
101 Once the branch is created, you can add devices to it. Optionally, you can drag and drop devices onto the correct positions on the uploaded map for precise placement.
102
103 [[image:1739501688622-807.jpeg]]
104
105 Care should be taken when adding devices:
106
107 1. **Device Name**: Must be the Device EUI of the device.
108 1. **Label**: Optional, and can be used as a differentiator. Only the label will be displayed on the dashboard.
109
110 [[image:1739501688623-799.jpeg]]
111
112 After filling in the device name and label, click ‘Next’ to adjust the location of the device on the map.

161 **Notes:**
162
163 1. Temperature thresholds are in °C.
164 1. Voltage thresholds below 2.7V typically indicate low battery on the device.
165 1. Device inactivity warnings are in milliseconds (ms).
