Device Groups

Device Groups

Device Groups - allows you to manage devices based on their configuration (APN, SIM card, different data from FM), use scenario, firmware upgrade, etc.

Under Device Groups menu you can create new groups. Once a group is created you can add devices to that particular group. This can be done via Devices menu when device is selected at the bottom of the page you can select device's group by clicking Edit button .

Once a group has been created and certain number of devices have been assigned to the group, you can filter them in Devices tab → select all devices → create certain tasks for only that group.

Automatically assign firmware or configuration to a group of devices

Devices group with pre-selected FW and configuration

The following two fields are available when creating or editing a device group: "Firmware (optional)" and "Configuration (optional)".

These fields allow you to standardize the FW or configuration of a device when adding it to a group.

If FW or configuration is selected in these fields, FOTA will automatically create a task for the device to update the FW and/or configuration to the FW and/or configuration specified in the "Firmware" and "Configuration" fields when the device is added to the group

If the FW or configuration of an existing group is changed, FOTA will automatically create tasks for all devices in the group to update the FW and/or configuration

Failed tasks retry

Group tasks that fail to complete are not retried automatically. Tasks with a status of "Failed" or "Completed with error" can be retried manually. When a failed task is retried, the entire task group with statuses Failed or Completed with error will return to "Pending".

Failed to update devices

In order to retry group task go to Task Group select the task and then choose button Retry failed tasks.
