Manage device settings, metadata, and authentication details. Configure tags, avatars, and identifiers, and handle device deletion.

Device Settings

Update device details and manage metadata, tags, and unique IDs. Some settings may be restricted based on your role or integration type.

The Device Settings page allows you to update a device’s general details—such as its name, metadata, tags, and description—and provides unique identifiers for API interactions.

How to Access Device Settings

1

Go to the Device Detail Page

Locate and select the device you want to configure.

2

Select the Settings Tab

In the top navigation (next to Overview), click Settings.

General

Some settings (e.g., Delete Device) may be restricted based on your role or integration type. If you require access, check your permissions or contact your project administrator.

Unique IDs

Used when interacting with the Qubitro API (read-only).

• Device ID: A unique identifier that may vary based on the data source. Some integrations (e.g., cellular) may display SIM IDs.

• Device Token: Used for authentication.

  • MQTT: Acts as the password.

  • HTTP: Used as the Authorization value in requests.

Metadata

Metadata allows manually adding non-dynamic information such as:

• SKU Number

• Serial Number

• Customer Name

Metadata is automatically displayed on the Device Overview page and is accessible via API for programmatic use.

Tags

Organize and categorize your device for improved navigation and search.

• You can assign up to three tags per device.

If the tag limit is reached, you must remove an existing tag before adding a new one.

Device Avatar

Click the avatar to upload a custom image to visually distinguish your device.

Device Details

Customize device information:

• Device Name (max 32 characters)

• Device Brand (max 32 characters)

• Device Model (max 32 characters)

Created At

Displays the exact date and time when the device was added to Qubitro.

The Created At date is displayed in the time zone selected in your account settings.

Delete Device

Permanently remove the device and all associated data.

Deleting a device is irreversible and will permanently remove all data, including time series data, blob data (if any), functions, and widgets from dashboards that use this device’s data. Additionally, any associated resources like add-ons (e.g., storage views data) will also be deleted.
