Managing a controller
Give a controller a name, type and group, restart it, update it or delete it.
Last updated on
On a controller's page you change its details and carry out maintenance. Settings such as ACL, network and updates are covered separately in Controller settings.
Before you start:
- The controller is approved, see Connecting a controller.
Changing the name, type and group
Open the controller
Go to ControllersOverview and click the controller.
Adjust the form
Under Controller settings you choose the Name, the Type (Shower, Access or Charge point) and the Group.
Click Save
Tillor reports Controller updated and sends the settings to the controller.
Restarting a controller
If a controller is not responding properly, restart it from Tillor.
Open the actions menu (the three dots) and choose Reboot controller.
The screen shows Restarting and the controller then reconnects.
The actions menu also has View logs in Grafana. This opens the controller's logs in another program, intended for support. On the controller page itself, the recent logs are in the Console card.
Updating to a new version
If there is an arrow pointing up next to the version number, a newer (software) is available. Hover over it to see the version (Update available) and click it to start the update. Tillor reports OTA update started. When controllers update themselves, you can read about it in Firmware updates.
Deleting a controller
In the actions menu choose Delete controller and confirm under Delete controller. The controller disappears from your list. Afterwards it can request adoption again.
What happens next?
- After a restart the controller reconnects to Tillor. This takes a moment.
- After updating, the controller restarts by itself. Leave the power on while the screen shows Update with a percentage.
- A deleted controller no longer grants access.
