Intro

Editing sensors is a feature most often used after cloning a sensor or when the user wants to adjust some values like scale and offset.

Go to the home view by clicking in the ubiworx logo or the icon.
In the Dashboard view click on the gateway you want to update the sensor.
Once the view loads, click the Edit button in the sensors side navigation menu under the Configuration section.
Select the sensor you want to edit from the dropdown menu.
Amend the required fields.
Save changes:

Using the button, the changes are saved on the ubiworx broker and will be synced the next time the device reconnects.
Using the button, the changes are saved on the ubiworx broker and a sync request is sent to the gateway.
