Silvanet Site Management app

Plan Site deployments and monitor sensor data using the Silvanet Site Management app.

Overview

The Site Management app runs in a browser (Google Chrome recommended) to build Packets and monitor the deployed devices. When one or more sensors detect a fire, the Site Management app displays Fire Alerts for users to take decisive action to put out fires. It provides different views to access Site information:

Info

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.

Tip

Selecting Collapse minimizes the side menu. Selecting the right arrows maximizes the side menu.

Sites View

Sites view displays all Sites in your organization. Selecting a Site opens the Site in its own view - the Site Dashboard.

Open a Site by selecting a Site name or using the ellipsis menu, then selecting Open.

Site Dashboard

The Site Dashboard is the main access to a Site including the size of the covered area. It provides details for all deployed devices, status of each device and an embedded Map view. The Gateway and Sensor tabs list the devices installed in the Site.

Selecting a device displays the current readings from a sensor: Air Pressure (hPa), Temperature (°C), Humidity (%), Air Quality and the current Energy Level of the sensor superconductors (%).

Edit Device Information

Device information can be updated from the Sites view by selecting the Edit icon next to a sensor in the Sensors tab.

Note

Only the fields in the Metadata and Location tabs are editable.

Metadata tab:

Device name: Device ID which is a user-readable version of the sensor ID.
Notes (editable): If a note was added during deployment, it appears here. Otherwise, a note can be added by making the field editable (Pencil icon).

Location tab:

Latitude (editable) and Longitude (editable): GPS coordinates as set during deployment. If the device has been moved, the GPS coordinates can be updated in these fields.

Technical Information tab:

Technical Info: Settings obtained from the device including sensor ID, EUI, LoRaWAN version, device address, firmware version and ML Model version.

Sensor data (Site view only)

Photo tab:

If a photo was added during deployment, it is displayed here.

Map View

Selecting Map view uses Google Maps to display a Site. Status icons display at a glance the status of each device in a Site. If a client manages several sites, a user can quickly find the Sites based on a map location. Displaying a site shows at a glance the status of each deployed device.

Selecting a status icon displays a device's latest status, including GPS location and current energy level.

Selecting the Fire icon displays the Fire Risk overlay for a selected area sourced from Google Maps which shows areas of higher levels of fire risk.

Devices View

The Device view provides a quick search function to find specific sensors or gateways. Sort by Device name, Site or Device Type. Choose from 10, 25 or 50 devices to display per page.

Three icons in the side bar display additional details about a device:

Checkmark: Indicates the device has been deployed.
Pencil icon: Allows you to edit metadata about a device, including changing a device's name and adding notes. It also allows you to manually update a device's location if it has been relocated. It's QR Code and technical information is also provided.
Map icon: Opens a Map view showing the device in its current location.

Edit device information

Access to Edit Device Information is also available in the Device view. Selecting the Pencil icon next to a sensor or gateway opens the Device edit dialog.
