71 ----
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 * **End Nodes**: For temperature and humidity monitoring.
79 * **Gateway**: For data transmission.
80
81 Ensure that all devices are pre-registered on **ThingsEye.io** before use.

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 * **Device Name**: Must be the Device EUI of the device.
108 * **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.

121 == **2.6 Connect the Gateway** ==
122
123 * Connect the gateway to your router using an Ethernet cable.
124 * Power on the gateway and allow it to obtain an IP address from the router. Ensure the gateway has a stable internet connection.
125

127
128
129 == **2.7 Connected Devices** ==
130
131 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.

135
136 == **2.8 Verify Dashboard** ==
137
138 Log in to the **ThingsEye.io** dashboard to confirm that all devices are online and transmitting data correctly.

144 == **2.9 Placement of Sensors** ==
145
146 * Place the temperature sensor probe in the center of the refrigerator's interior.
147 * Avoid direct contact with the refrigerator walls to ensure accurate temperature measurements.
148

157
158
159 **Notes:**
160
161 * Temperature thresholds are in °C.
162 * Voltage thresholds below 2.7V typically indicate low battery on the device.
163 * Device inactivity warnings are in milliseconds (ms).
