Maps

Asset Maps: choose how each device appears on the map

One of the standout features of this release: you can now customize how your devices appear on the map.

Custom icons and background colors

Both can be conditional, based on real-time data, property values or device status.

Labels

Add labels to each device on the map.

Details on click

Detailed information appears when you click on an icon.
Street map of Collado Villalba with one device marker: a wave icon followed by a level of 4 % and a battery of 50 %
An Asset Map marker: a custom icon with the device's level and battery as labels.

This customization gives a more intuitive and visually appealing way to monitor your assets, making it easier to quickly identify and understand the status and properties of each device. By supporting conditional icons and background colors based on real-time data, property values or device status, Asset Maps offer a highly dynamic and responsive tool for asset management.

Dashboards

The Assets Table widget, for reports and analysis

Another major addition: a dashboard widget that displays device information in a tabular format.

Export to PDF or CSV

Export the table data to PDF or CSV files.

Filter and sort columns

Narrow the table down and order it by any column.

Merge asset information

Combine several pieces of information from each asset, such as device state, buckets or properties.

The Assets Table widget: a range filter on a column, and the CSV and PDF export buttons.

Merging device state, buckets and properties in one table makes this widget a comprehensive tool for data analysis and reporting. Whether you need to generate detailed reports or simply want a clearer view of your device data, the Assets Table widget is a versatile and user-friendly solution.

Products

Products that react to device events

We are deeply committed to integrating a wide range of devices through versatile product configurations, and this release brings significant improvements to them.

Device events as sources

Initial support for device events as sources for product resources like properties, buckets and endpoints.

Multiple data sources on properties

Product properties can be updated from different events and resources.

Device events let you set up reactions to device connections and other triggers, making your IoT system more responsive and adaptive. Multiple data sources give your products the flexibility to handle complex scenarios and diverse use cases with ease.

Console

A new icon for the latest updates
