Working with Groups

Groups feature in Heliotics CORE simplifies managing sensors by organizing them into logical categories

Locating Sensors by Group in the Dashboard

  • Navigate to the Dashboard and use the Group Filter to quickly find sensors belonging to a specific group
  • This feature is particularly helpful for maintaining an organized overview of your sensors by project, type of use, or other operational categories, streamlining overall monitoring efforts

Organizing Sensors

For efficient organization create groups that align with your operational needs:

  • By Location: For example, "Warehouse A" or "Greenhouse B"
  • By Use Case: Organize sensors into categories like "Energy Monitoring" or "Agriculture"
  • By Device Type: Group similar devices, such as "Temperature Sensors" or "Humidity Monitors"

Logical grouping makes it easier to track and manage sensors in large or complex deployments
