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- Outdated app version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:
- Confirm network connectivity.
- Confirm the Group Key is correct.
- Restart the app.
- Check for a newer version.
- Review logs or error messages.
- Contact the platform side or service provider for assistance.
