Register Wildfire Sensors

Learn how to register the Silvanet Wildfire Sensor with the Silvanet Cloud before mounting the device on a tree.

Each Silvanet Wildfire Sensor has a unique Device ID (also referred to as Serial ID) provided as a unique text string as well as a QR Code printed on a label attached to the device.

Before mounting the Sensor, use the Deployment app to scan the device's QR Code. Afterwards, the Silvanet device is registered with the Silvanet Cloud. This provides the location of the device to the Silvanet Cloud. Afterwards, the registered device appears in the Site details section of the Site Management app.

Relocating a Wildfire Sensor

If a Wildfire Sensor has been relocated, update the latitude and longitude of the device in the Device overview section of the Site Management app.
