Pairing a Device to an AssetUpdated 2 months ago

Assets vs. Devices
An asset is the physical item you are protecting, whereas a device is an ASSURIoT tracker.
For example:
  • Your car is an asset
  • The tracker you hide in your car is a device

Two Ways to Register a Device to Your Account

Before you can use your ASSURIoT tracker/device, you'll need to register your unique device ID to your account. There are 2 ways to do this:

  • From the "Devices" tab
    1. Select the "Devices" tab. It is the circular 2-device iconat the bottom of the screen.
    2. Click "Add" in the top-right of the screen.
  • From the "Add an Asset" page
    1. Follow the instructions for Adding an Asset
    2. Click "Add ASSURIoT Tracker"
    3. When selecting a device, click "Add New Device"

Registering Your Device

Step 1: Scan QR Code / Enter Device ID

After reaching the "Add a Device" screen using one of the methods above, follow the on-screen instructions to scan your device's QR code.

Your device may have 2 QR codes. Make sure you scan the larger QR code on the top-left of your device.A phone is shown scaning the larger QR code on the top-left of the device

If you have any issues scanning the QR code, then you can enter the device ID manually. The ID is the 14-digit number located on the bottom-left of the device.

Step 2: Add Device Info

You'll be given the option to add a device name and description. Most people name their device based on the asset they'll be attaching it to.

Step 3: Attach to an Asset

Before clicking "Save," you can pair your new device to an asset by clicking "Attach to Asset" in the top-left.

If you've already created an asset without pairing a device, it will show up on the list here. Otherwise, you can click "Add new asset" to create a new asset.

Pairing an Existing Device to an Asset

  1. Select the "Assets" tab by clicking the circular asset iconat the bottom of the screen
  2. Click on the asset you want to pair your device to on either the map or the asset list
  3. Scroll down on the asset card and click "Add Monitoring Device"
  4. Select your device
  5. Click "Attach Device"
