How to pair a Bluetooth tag with CHESTER
Pair up to 8 Bluetooth Tags with your CHESTER platform using the HARDWARIO Manager app terminal.
Steps
- 1 Take CHESTER and connect using the HARDWARIO Manager app.
- 2 If this is your first time, watch the video in the card where the whole procedure is shown.
- 3 Once connected, go to Terminal.
- 4 Type the command config show to check that your settings are correct.
- 5 In the output, find the tag config enabled.
- 6 If it is set to true, you can skip the following steps.
- 7 If it is set to false, type tag config enabled true, then config save, and then device restart.
- 8 CHESTER will restart and disconnect you, so reconnect.
- 9 Scan the QR code, click on the device, and go to Console.
- 10 You can pair up to 8 tags with CHESTER.
- 11 To see the paired tags, type tag list.
- 12 You will see the list of enrolled tags, which will be empty at first.
- 13 Take the tag you want to pair and place it next to CHESTER.
- 14 In the console, type tag enroll. CHESTER will start auto-discovery for 10 seconds.
- 15 If it finds the tag, it will display its MAC address; make sure it matches (you can find it on the tag).
- 16 If pairing was successful, you can skip the next steps.
- 17 If CHESTER does not find the tag, try tag enroll twice.
- 18 If pairing still does not work, you must manually save the MAC address.
- 19 Do this using the command tag config devices add MAC_address, which you can find on the tag or in the QR code.
- 20 After entering it, the tag will automatically be added to the first free slot.
- 21 You can add more tags this way (up to 8).
- 22 If you enter a wrong address, you can remove it using tag config devices remove MAC_address.
- 23 Save the final configuration using config save.
- 24 To check, reconnect to CHESTER and in the console type tag list.
- 25 It should show the list of your paired tags.
- 26 To test reading, type tag read. CHESTER will read the current values from the tags.
- 27 That's it. Now you can install the tags where you need them.
