Docklify IoT: turn the module on and find your way around

IoT is an add-on module that starts switched off. An organization admin turns it on once, then the whole team manages sensors, gateways and lights from one place.

Docklify IoT is the management home for the connected devices in your warehouses: LoRa temperature and humidity sensors, gateways, put-to-light units, door contacts, loop and photo sensors, and BLE tags and scanners. It manages the devices themselves — registry, onboarding, health, groups and bindings. Business results stay where the work happens (yard views in Yardor, zone curves in WMS); everyday operators do not need to open IoT.

Turn IoT on (admin, once)#

1. Open Admin → Organization settings → App enablement.
2. Find IoT in the list and switch it on.
3. Open the app switcher: IoT now appears, and its home is the Device registry.

The five pages#

• Device registry — every registered device, plus read-only references to Vision cameras and Device Hubs (those are managed in their own apps). Open a device for its health, telemetry and bindings. Its Basics card also shows, read-only, which warehouse it belongs to, where it is currently bound, and which hub it connects through when it has one.
• Onboarding wizard — register a new device in four steps and mark it accepted.
• Health board — live online / degraded / offline picture for everything, and your health-threshold settings.
• Groups & bindings — organize devices into a group tree and see where each device is bound.
• Adapter catalog — which device adapters the platform has commissioned, and whether each is on for your organization. Commissioning itself is done by the platform team.

Device pictures: illustrations and your own photos#

Every device in the registry shows a picture, so you can recognize types at a glance. By default it is a type illustration — a generic picture of that kind of device, drawn by the platform. It is not a photo of your actual device, and the device page says so under the picture. On the device page the picture itself also carries a small label — “Illustration” for the default picture, “Actual photo” for yours — and after you remove a photo the page confirms it is gone, so the returning illustration is never mistaken for an old photo coming back.

1. To use a real photo instead: open the device, choose Upload photo, and pick a picture of that actual device (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB). The registry list and the device page now show your photo.
2. Choose Replace photo to swap it, or Remove photo to go back to the type illustration. On a retired device the picture stays and its photo can still be removed, but no new photo can be uploaded.
