Tags are individual data points that are communicated between a physical device and your dashboard. Tags are unique to each device on the Devices table.
When selecting a device from the Devices table, the Tags table changes to show only that device’s tags.
Tag Name: A descriptive nickname or word associated with an MQTT topic to make it easier to find and work with.
Description: Description of the Tag.
Topic: The MQTT topic assigned to the tag. The topic name needs to match the topic name in the device sending data.
Log: A green check indicates that the tag is logging historical data to the database.
Value: This is the current value in the topic, if data is current in the topic you can view it here.
Alarms: Add, delete Alarm conditions.
Edit: Allows you to make edits to the tags name, description, scope, topic, format and data path. Change access to log data and read/write or Read only.
Delete: Removes a tag from the device
Note: The device must be set-up in the Devices table before you can add a tag to the device.
