Nodes
ESP RainMaker manages devices in the form of Nodes. In the node management interface, users can view relevant information and connection status fo node devices.
Node Summary
Users can view the device information bound to the cloud in the initial interface of node management. Including node ID, device name, firmware version, device type (such as light bulb, switch), sub-category, firmware name. Users can directly search for the device information they want to view by entering the node ID.
In addition to the above, the node summary page also shows the following below:
| Node Summary Widget |
|---|
 |
- Active nodes: Devices that connected at least once within the selected time window.
- Inactive nodes: Devices that never connected during the selected time window.
- Not Activated nodes: Devices that are yet to be onboarded.
| Custom data details of node |
|---|

- By default, the widget shows data for the past month. Users can also select a custom start date to view data from a specific period as shown in the image above.
Filtering
Users can apply filters to search nodes using the Advance Filters Option. The Filters Node popup now includes two categories of filters: Common filters and User specific Filters.
Common Filters
Users can filter nodes based on the Node Status or based on Type or by Model.
User Specific Filters
The User-specific filter category now includes a filter by username section where a text box is provided to enter the username for filtering the nodes.
Switching between the filter categories will clear the filter options of the other category.
Node Details

Users are able to get additional and more detailed information about the node by clicking on any of the nodes from the Nodes page.

- Create a Group
Function bar on the right > Node Group > create group > fill in group information > create group
| In the Group Information Filling Interface, users can use Group Filters to directly save devices with specific attributes into a new Group or create without this to enable manual adding of devices |
