Editing, ending or moving Devices with Device Actions
Need to move a device to a new location? Or maybe fix some dates or adjust the orientation? You can do all of this through Device Actions.
Here’s what you can do 👇
Where to find Device Actions
Head to your Dashboard
Select the relevant Monitoring Point
Click Manage in the bottom right corner
Scroll down to the Device line
Click the Device Actions Dropdown
(Select from the dropdown what action you'd like to complete.)
Edit Monitoring Dates
Change the start time or end time of monitoring if it was added at the wrong time, or tidy things up to keep your data neat and accurate.
Currently deployed device:
- Select the date from the calendar if you want to change the start date
- If you want to change the start time, enter the time that the device was set up
- Click Save
Previously deployed device:
- Select the date from the calendar if you want to change the start date
- If you want to change the start time, enter the time that the device was set up
- To change the end date, select the new date from the calendar
- To change the end time, enter the new time
- Click Save
Edit Orientation
Orientation matters! It ensures your Direction of Arrival (DoA) data is accurate—so noise events display the correct direction on the dashboard and in media, such as photos and audio.
Option 1 – Set monitoring orientation via the media
Drag the dial so Camera 1 and Camera 2 match their real-life positions on site
Click Save
Option 2 – Use your phone’s compass
Use your phone’s compass to find the orientation in degrees by placing the base of your phone at the SiteHive logo
Enter the number into the Orientation box
Click Save
If you have not set up the orientation, you will get a warning. This is just a reminder for you to check that orientation.
