Device Binding

Device binding is the process of establishing a relationship between the current device and a platform account, device group, or service provider entity.

Once binding succeeds, the platform can identify:

• Device name
• Device status
• Assigned Group
• Online status
• Available resources
• Task execution records

Online Status

After a device is onboarded, it typically shows one of the following statuses:

• Online: The device is online and can communicate with the platform.
• Offline: The device is offline or unable to connect to the platform.
• Idle: The device is online with no current task.
• Running: The device is executing a task.
• Error: The device has an anomaly that needs handling.

Status naming is subject to the current version.

Common Connection Failure Causes

Connection failures may be caused by:

• Incorrect Group Key entry
• Expired Key
• Network unavailable
• Platform service temporarily unreachable
• Outdated app version
• Insufficient local permissions
• Device already bound to another Group
• Firewall or proxy restricting communication

Troubleshooting Suggestions

Check in the following order:

1. Confirm network connectivity.
2. Confirm the Group Key is correct.
3. Restart the app.
4. Check for a newer version.
5. Review logs or error messages.
6. Contact the platform side or service provider for assistance.
