Model Settings

Model Settings

Each model within the application can be configured to enable or disable instance specific settings for monitoring and control modules. When enabled, these settings allow users to add unique datapoints, commands, overview dashboard, and alarm rules to each instance created from that model. It’s important to note that these settings affect only the specific model and not the application as a whole.

Learn more about model templates and instance specific monitoring and control modules.

For example, Consider three models: Home Gateway, Smart Sensors, and Lights. If the instance specific command setting is enabled for the Home Gateway model, only instances derived from this model can have instance specific commands added. To have instance specific commands for Smart Sensors and Lights, these settings must be enabled individually for each model.

Settings Available for Configuration

Note: All the options except forced onboarding will be disabled by default for every model.
  • Instance Specific Alarm Rule: Enable this to add alarm rules specific to instances of a particular model.

  • Instance Specific Datapoint: Enable this to add datapoints specific to instances of a particular model.

  • Instance Specific Command: Enable this to add commands specific to instances of a particular model.

  • Instance Specific Overview Dashboard: Enable this to create overview dashboards specific to instances of a particular model.

  • Force Onboarding Assistant (available only for device models): Enable this to make the onboarding assistant available for every instance based on that model, enhancing the setup process. Onboarding assistant can be disabled for a model once you are comfortable with adding and connecting the device to the Zoho IOT application and receiving data.
