Devices

The Devices page lists all IoT devices registered in your space. Each device corresponds to a physical CHESTER (or other HARDWARIO device) and has its own identity, status, and configuration.

Adding a Device

Video Tutorial

Watch How to add CHESTER to Cloud for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Click + NEW DEVICE in the top-right corner. You can provision a device in two ways:

Scan QR Code

Click SCAN DEVICE to open the camera scanner. Point it at the QR code on the device label. The scanner fills in the Serial Number (HSN) and Claim Token automatically.

Manual Entry

Fill in the fields manually:

Field	Description
Name	Human-readable name, e.g. warehouse-sensor-01
Serial Number (HSN)	HARDWARIO Serial Number printed on the device label
Claim Token	Unique per-device token — visible on the QR code or via info show over J-Link RTT

tip

Create at least one Tag and assign it to the device and a Connector. Tags are what route the device's uplink messages to your integration.

Device List

The device list shows a summary for each device:

• Name and optional comment
• Last Seen — timestamp of the last uplink
• Firmware — application name and version
• Tags — assigned tags shown as color-coded chips

Click a device row to open its detail page.

Device Detail

Overview

Shows the full device profile, populated automatically from session messages:

Field	Description
Name	Editable human-readable name
Comment	Optional free-text note
Serial Number	HARDWARIO Serial Number (HSN)
Last Seen	Timestamp of the last received message
Product	Hardware vendor and product name (e.g. CHESTER-M)
HW Variant / Revision	Hardware variant string and PCB revision (e.g. R3.4)
Firmware	Application bundle ID, name and version
LTE Firmware	Modem firmware version
IMEI / ICCID / IMSI	LTE modem identifiers
BLE Passkey	Bluetooth passkey for local BLE configuration

Tags

Assign or remove tags on the device. Tags determine which connectors receive this device's messages — a device and a connector must share at least one tag for messages to be forwarded.

Labels

Labels are key-value pairs attached to a device. They are included in every connector callback payload so your backend can react differently per device.

Example use cases:

• location: prague-warehouse-a
• customer: acme-corp
• floor: 3

Messages

Shows the message history for this specific device. See Messages for details.

Firmware

Shows firmware update history and allows scheduling a FOTA update. See FOTA.

Downlink

Schedule downlink commands to be delivered on the device's next connection. See Downlink.
