# Site Sensor
## Assembly, provisioning, and field installation workflow for Sitemetric site sensors
# Master equipment list needed for site sensor assembly.
LIST FOR SITE SENSORS.xlsx
# Workflow for Building SS:
- Add components to the box.
- Activate Holo SIM (if applicable)
- Plug-in battery, plug in USB-C (other end into RPI)
- SSH into RPI
- TTY into RPI (screen -x main)
- Scan QR on RPI to put in “Provisioning Mode”
- Scan the QR code on box
- Get the 200 approved message
- RST button on parent board
- Move to the USB charge hub to fully charge
The site sensor is now added to VA89875636 Sitemetric Inventory
Once the Site sensor is added to the inventory, you must charge the battery sufficiently. Due to this critical step, we need a 1-2 day lead time to allow batteries to charge fully before sending out.
We will send the Site sensors all plugged in, and “on”. So all that the field technician will need is to install the sensor at the zone, and then use the app to register the equipment.
The devices will also take some time to update the FW, and for it to do some checks on its own.
# Workflow For Field Technician:
The installs here \***NEED**\* to be pre-determined. What we mean by this is simple; the zones need to be decided before the equipment is deployed. IE: Main gate, Trailer City, Data Hall 1, Electrical Room 1, etc etc. What we cannot do, is make a zone on the fly in the field.
> 💡 WE WILL NOT BE SENDING ANY DETECTION EQUIPMENT WITHOUT A PRE-DETERMINED ZONE CREATED. THIS WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH CONFUSION TO DO WITHOUT.
All this being considered above; the workflow will go like this:
- Request site sensors (with zones pre-made in legacy admin). This will require coordination with support on getting zones added at the time of the request
- Site sensors will be ready the next day for the field technician; the follow-up will a picture or post on the respective slack channel (subject to change on notifying)
- Field tech will take site sensors (in bulk) to the site, and install them at each zone that was pre-determined. The app will be used on the installation and it is very easy to figure out. It is all drop-down lists on selections, so just depending on where you are IE main gate you will choose that on the drop-down.
That’s it, there is nothing else to the field tech portion on installs
