HARDWARIO Manager
CHESTER is managed from the HARDWARIO Manager mobile app over Bluetooth Low Energy. Connect the phone to a device and you can read its state, edit its configuration, drive its shell, update its firmware, and reboot it.
The app is documented in full under APPS:
- HARDWARIO Manager — what the app does, and how to install it
- CHESTER over Bluetooth — the CHESTER section
- Connect and pair — scanning the device QR code, the passkey, and pairing
- Device info — serial number, firmware, uptime, and the device controls
- Configuration — the guided and full configuration views
- Terminal — the device shell over Bluetooth
- Tools — firmware update, reboot, factory reset
- BLE tags — bind external BLE sensor tags to slots
- Troubleshooting — connection, pairing and update problems
Which version this describes
These pages describe the current HARDWARIO Manager app. If the phone has an older version installed, its CHESTER screens will differ from what is described there.
Firmware Update
Firmware is flashed over Bluetooth from a QR code carrying the firmware link. See Firmware update for the procedure, the update stages, and what happens when an update fails.
You can find pre-built binaries for catalog applications; a custom build arrives as a link by e-mail.
