The Added BLE devices section of the Administrator panel contains a list of all BLE devices currently added to the platform. This section provides an overview of these devices along with the following information for each:
-
Name (sortable): custom name of the BLE device.
-
Vendor: official manufacturer name.
-
Model: model name or code specified by the manufacturer.
-
Model ID (sortable): product type identifier associated with its series (product code, controller model, etc.).
-
Device ID (sortable): unique serial number or UUID of the specific hardware instance.
-
Users count (sortable): number of users associated with the BLE device via digital keys.
-
Access point (sortable): name of the access point linked to the BLE device. Selecting it opens the access point details. If no link exists, a dash "-" is displayed.
-
Access point location (sortable): name of the current location of the access point linked to the BLE device. Selecting it opens the list of access points for that location. If no link exists, a dash "-" appears.
-
Created at (sortable): device registration timestamp in the system. The format is DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS.
Each row ends with the vertical ellipsis icon to open the context menu for managing the specific BLE device. You can select a management option:
-
Rename
-
Delete
Selecting a row opens the BLE device details.
Add a new device
You can add a new device to the platform only if you have an available license with the matching licensing parameter.
To add a new device, select Add device.
Complete the opened setup form for a BLE device:
-
Device name: enter a custom device name.
-
Vendor: select the vendor from the available list.
-
Model: select the device model from the available list, which updates based on the selected vendor.
-
SID: device ID, which is a unique identifier of a specific device instance, often acting as a security key (Secure ID), found on the device label or in the initial setup software (examples: serial number, Device UUID, Lock ID [SID] for Openy)
-
PID: model ID, which is a product type identifier associated with the device model or series used for classification, found in the technical specification, article, or full product name (examples: controller model, Product Code, Lock Name [PID] for Openy).
-
Master: enter the security key manually. Supplied with the BLE device.
-
Location (setting): binds the BLE device to an access point. Disabled by default. Enabling it displays additional fields:
-
Location (text field): select the location to add the BLE device.
-
Access point (text field): select the access point to link the BLE device.
-
Once you enter all parameters, select Add.
Once added, the system registers the BLE device, links it to the selected access point, and marks one license for a BLE controller as used. A notification appears stating that the BLE device is added successfully, and the system redirects you to the BLE device card.
You can also add a new BLE device and link it directly to an access point:
Platform tree > Location with access points > Access control > Access point details > Devices tab
Search and filter
Typing a value in the Search field filters by:
-
BLE device name
-
Model ID
-
Device ID
-
Access point name
-
Access point location
The list supports filtering by:
-
Vendor
-
Model
-
Device creation time range
Rename a BLE device
To rename a BLE device, select the vertical ellipsis icon in the BLE device row and choose Rename. In the open form, enter a new BLE device name and select Save.
The rename function is also available in the BLE device card.
Renaming a BLE device creates a Renaming BLE device event that can be tracked in Devices > BLE devices > Added > BLE device card > User actions tab.
Delete a BLE device
To delete a BLE device, select the vertical ellipsis icon in the BLE device row and choose Delete. In the open form, confirm the action.
Deleting a BLE device:
-
Deletes all permanent and temporary keys added to the BLE device.
-
Releases licenses with the BLE device and BLE keys licensing parameters.
-
Creates a BLE device deleted event in Devices > BLE devices > Added > BLE device card > User actions tab.
The delete function is also available in the BLE device card.
