71
72
73 == **2.3 Get Devices** ==
74
75 Reach out to your local representative to acquire the necessary devices for your food safety solution. These devices include:
76
77 1. **End Nodes**: For temperature and humidity monitoring.
78 1. **Gateway**: For data transmission.
79
80 Ensure that all devices are pre-registered on **ThingsEye.io** before use.

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

120 == **2.6 Connect the Gateway** ==
121
122 1. Connect the gateway to your router using an Ethernet cable.
123 1. Power on the gateway and allow it to obtain an IP address from the router. Ensure the gateway has a stable internet connection.

158 **Notes:**
159
160 1. Temperature thresholds are in °C.
161 1. Voltage thresholds below 2.7V typically indicate low battery on the device.
162 1. Device inactivity warnings are in milliseconds (ms).
