75
76
77 == **2.3 Get Devices** ==
78
79 Reach out to your local representative to acquire the necessary devices for your food safety solution. These devices include:
80
81 1. **End Nodes**: For temperature and humidity monitoring.
82 1. **Gateway**: For data transmission.
83
84 Ensure that all devices are pre-registered on **ThingsEye.io** before use.

101
102 == **2.5 Add Devices to the Branch** ==
103
104 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.
105
106 [[image:1739501688622-807.jpeg]]
107
108 Care should be taken when adding devices:
109
110 1. **Device Name**: Must be the Device EUI of the device.
111 1. **Label**: Optional, and can be used as a differentiator. Only the label will be displayed on the dashboard.
112
113 [[image:1739501688623-799.jpeg]]
114
115 After filling in the device name and label, click ‘Next’ to adjust the location of the device on the map.

124 == **2.6 Connect the Gateway** ==
125
126 1. Connect the gateway to your router using an Ethernet cable.
127 1. Power on the gateway and allow it to obtain an IP address from the router. Ensure the gateway has a stable internet connection.

132 == **2.7 Connected Devices** ==
133
134 Once the gateway is connected, scan the code to register the device to the server. After registration, all registered end nodes will automatically connect to the network. You can verify their status on the platform.

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