Starting a Device

Once you’ve created a device and made sure it’s on the same network as Koios, try to test the device to ensure connectivity. If the device is testing successfully, use the status bar or detail dropdown to pull up the control popup and enable the device. At this point, the device will attempt to connect inside of the Data Collector service, and if there is a failure, the device will continue to attempt to reconnect while giving you error messages to review on the device detail page.

Seeing the success message in the status banner? Awesome! Now it’s time to start adding tags. We will review how to do that in the next section.
