Location map

The Location Map allows you to visually monitor your sensors by placing them on a floor plan, building layout, or any other map image. This feature provides a quick and intuitive way to assess sensor status, identify alarm conditions, and understand the physical layout of your installation.

The Location Map is accessible to all users who have access to a given location, but only Administrators and Managers can upload maps or modify sensor placement.

Uploading and Managing Maps

Each location can have one map assigned to it. To upload or manage a map:

  1. Open the Dashboard tab.

  2. Select the desired location in the left-side location tree.

  3. Click the Location Map button.

  4. Click Edit to access map options:

    • Upload map (PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, max 4 MB)

    • Replace existing map

    • Remove map

    • Add or remove sensors

Large or high-resolution images may take several minutes to upload and process. For best results, use clear, high-contrast floor plans.

Placing and Managing Sensors on the Map

Once the map is uploaded, sensors assigned to the selected location can be placed on it.

To add sensors:

  1. Click Edit

  2. Select Add sensors

  3. Choose sensors from the list

  4. Drag them to the correct location on the map

  5. Click Save

To adjust or remove sensors:

  • Select Edit sensors

  • Drag sensors to reposition them

  • Click Remove to delete a sensor from the map (this does not remove it from the organisation)

Viewing Sensor Status on the Map

The Location Map provides real-time visibility of sensor conditions. Each sensor is represented by an icon whose color indicates status:

  • Green – Sensor operating normally

  • Red – Active alarm

  • Yellow – Low battery

  • Gray – Lost sensor / no communication

Hover over or click a sensor to display:

  • Current measurement

  • Sensor name and serial number

  • Last communication time

  • Alarm details (if applicable)

This makes the map a powerful tool for maintenance teams, allowing quick identification of problem areas.

Customising Map Display

You can tailor which sensor details are shown on the map. Click Edit, then select which information to display:

  • Sensor name

  • Serial number

  • Status

  • Current measurement

If all options are disabled, sensors are displayed as status-colored dots only—useful for dense sensor networks or cluttered maps.
