Silvanet Site Management app
The Site Management app is used to plan deployments and to monitor the devices in the site. It is connected to the Silvanet Cloud which receives data from the sensors via Mesh Gateways and Border Gateways. This data is then displayed in the Site Management app.

A Site is the geographical area where a network of Silvanet sensors and gateways are deployed to monitor the forest. The Site Management app (dryad.app) displays all Sites that Dryad has created and administered for you. Using your username and password, you are granted access to all Sites to which you are registered.

Sites view
The Sites view displays all Sites that a user has rights to administer and manage. Selecting the name of a Site opens the Site dashboard.
Site dashboard
The Site dashboard allows a user to drill down and view the current readings from a sensor, including Air Pressure (hPa), Temperature (°C), Humidity (%) and Air Quality. It also shows the current Energy Level of the sensor superconductors (%).
Sensor readings
Map view
The Map view provides a convenient view for selecting sites. If many sites are managed, this allows for a quick selection of the site based on a map location. Displaying a site shows at a glance the status of each deployed device.
Map view
The Map view also provides an overlay of temperatures sourced from Google Maps which shows areas of higher levels of fire risk.
Fire risk view
Device view
The Device view provides a quick search function to find specific sensors or gateways using the device ID. Searches can be filtered by device or by site.
Selecting a sensor displays in a sidebar the current data from the sensor. You can select a data time range showing values over 5, 7, 12 or a 24 hour timescale.
