What are Devices?
Devices are physical hardware endpoints that run PhyOS and connect to the Phygrid platform. They execute Installations and serve as the delivery point for digital content and applications in physical spaces.
Why are Devices important?
Devices provide several key benefits for your platform deployment:
- 🖥️ Content Delivery: Automatically receive and run assigned Installations with seamless updates
- 🔧 Remote Management: Configure, monitor, reboot, and update devices from the central console
- 📍 Space Integration: Belong to specific Spaces for organizational and content targeting purposes
- 📊 Operational Insights: Provide analytics, monitoring data, and status information for platform optimization
