Same SCK multiple locations

General
#1

So I’m trying to make sense of the documentation but couldn’t quite find the answer I’m looking for. I’m actually using a SCK at home in a semi-permanent setup, registered as a kit and using home wifi. Everything is working quite fine so far except a PM sensor failure, and I’d like to showcase the device to others. Is it possible to pause my “home kit” readings, create one for the showcase, then reuse the first location keeping it’s history?

BTW thanks for making the device so plug’n’play, it was a breeze on first setup. Only thing missing would be localization support for the documentation (my peers aren’t familiar with English).

Hi!

The link you refer to is for the “legacy” hardware (V1.*), but I assume you are using a SCK2.1 or 2.3?

As far as the use case you need, this would be fairly straight forward if you use a SCK2.*. The device token you get from the onboarding page can be found in the kit page (as an example):

You don’t need to write it down, but simply remember that it’s there. Now, if you create a new “demo” device via the onboarding page, you will get another token. This token will now be used to match the data coming from your device to the “demo” device, and it will “pause” the readings on the original “home” device. Once you are done with the demo, you can put the “home” token back onto the device. Here you have a guide on how to do it: Updating the SCK token - Smart Citizen Docs

Let us know if you need support with this one!

Thank you! :heart: I think localisation will happen at some point, but we’d certainly need some support for it…

Gotcha, thanks! What lost me is that the token couldn’t be found on the profile’s kits but only on the “platform” UI. Kinda disturbing choice if you think about it.

It’s ok. I kinda troubleshot the issue. The sensor was correctly powered, and detected through cli. But the reading where constantly stuck. I concluded on a hardware failure that couldn’t be resolved at home, and bought a replacement which works fine. I still have it if you have any idea to upcycle it.

My Spanish lessons are long gone, but feel free to ping me if you need to translate from English to French :+1:

Hey folks! Aha, good catch about the token being missing from the profile kits pages - I missed that on the old platform during the redesign - I will add it to the new kit UI ASAP. Thank you @AVB!

And yes, localisation help would be greatly appreciated! I need to add a “language switcher” interface at some point, but in principle all the infrastructure is there for it - you can see all the English strings in the files in this folder, so adding a translation is just a matter of copying all the files called en.yml to others called eg fr.yml, and translating the strings inside. I suspect we’ll have Spanish and Catalan translations before too long, and any other languages would be most welcome!

Thanks again for the feedback!
