Suggested Sensor Naming Conventions
We recommend that you give each sensor a number. For example, if you have 10 sensors, you should number them 1-10.
You should also write the number on the physical device using a permanent marker or a label. Be careful not to obstruct the LEDs on the device when labelling.
In addition to a number, you should add the following information: what the equipment is used for + equipment + location
Examples:
-
Walk-in Fridge
-
Walk-in fridge
-
Dessert fridge in storeroom
-
Dairy fridge in kitchen
