Add TA652FH-W to ThingsBoard

Tip

This section applies to the situation where you add TA652FH-W to ThingsBoard Server.
If you are adding the first Avantec HVAC device to ThingsBoard Server, please refer to Get Started.

Step 2. Import Detail Dashboard of TA652FH-W

See Import TA652FH-W Detail Dashboard.

Step 3. Import List Dashboard of TA652FH-W

See Import TA652FH-W List Dashboard.

Step 4. Provision TA652FH-W device

Step 4.1 Add device

Devices –> + –> Add new device –> Popup Dialog –> Input Name, Label & Description, select device profile –> Add.

Field	Value
Name*	My device name, e.g. TA652FH-W-TB, A8:48:FA:57:D5:20
Device profile*	TA652FH-W Thermostat
Label	My device label, e.g. Avantec Manufacturing Plant
Description	My device description, e.g. A Thermostat for floor-heating

Note

Please add the following Shared attributes of TA652FH-W:

Add shared attributes of TA652FH-W
Key*	Value Type*	Value*	Memo
uploadFreq	Integer	300	5*60. Telemetry per uploadFreq seconds
uploadThreshold	Double	1.5	1.5°C. If the temprature (Telemetry data) change exceeds it, upload immediately!
syncTimeFreq	Integer	86400	24*3600. Sync time per syncTimeFreq seconds
timezone	Integer	480	Please replace with your value. The time offset from UTC, minutes. For example Hongkong is UTC+8:00 time zone, this offset is 480 minutes (8*60)
timeNTPServer	String	pool.ntp.org	SNTP Server URL, e.g. pool.ntp.org, 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, uk.pool.ntp.org, hk.pool.ntp.org, time.nist.gov, …

You may also use:

Bulk provisioning to provision multiple devices from a CSV file using UI.
Device provisioning to allow device firmware to automatically provision the device, so you don’t need to configure each device manually.
REST API to provision devices and other entities programmatically.

Step 5. Connect TA652FH-W device

One of the most important ThingsBoard features is the ability to assign Dashboards to Customers. You may assign different devices to different customers. Then, you may create a Dashboard(s) and assign it to multiple customers. Each customer user will see his own devices and will not be able to see devices or any other data that belongs to a different customer.

Refer to Step 7.1 Create customers, Step 7.4 Create customer user & Step 7.5 Activate customer user.
