All devices such as sensors, gateways, switches in the system are either commissioned or uncommissioned. A device“from the factory” starts in the uncommissioned state. As a part of the installation, it is commissioned. When commissioned, it will be placed on a floor, and an icon for the device will be shown on the floor plan.
The floor plan displays the location of devices such as sensors, gateways, plugloads, switches on the floor with icons to locate them. Note that the gateway and all sensors bound to that gateway must be on the same floor. The icons for sensors change color depending on the attribute being shown.
This article describes the Floor Plan view in which you can set the size of icons or perform tasks that affect the visual appearance of the Floor plan. For information about the device icons and their statuses, refer to the articles Device Icons and Connectivity Status Icons.
Note: Users are recommended to maintaining a resolution of 10000 x 5000 for the old user interface floorplan images. The old user interface relies on an outdated open layer library, which imposes a limitation on resolution; specifically, the height should not exceed 5000.
