How Do I View the Energy of my Devices?

Monitoring the energy levels of your Silvanet devices ensures your wildfire detection network stays fully operational. Within the Silvanet Cloud Platform, you can view the energy status of each Border Gateway, Mesh Gateway, and Sensor, helping you quickly identify devices that may require attention.

Where to Find Energy Information

In the Site Management view, every connected device displays its energy level, measured from its solar-powered supercapacitor.
This shows how well each device is storing and maintaining solar energy throughout the day.

Each device can show one of the following statuses:

• Active: The device is communicating normally and sending data as expected.

• Pending: The device has experienced minor delays in sending data, but essential functions, such as fire detection, remain operational.

• Inactive: The device has not communicated for an extended period and may require attention.

Device Icon	Energy	Status	Message	Description
			-	Sensor that reached >85% of energy in the last 24h
			Charging is not optimal.	Sensor that didn’t reach >85% of energy in the last 24h
			Charging issues.	Sensor that didn’t reach >85% of energy in the last 24h. Last message between 6-24h
			Device not reachable.	Sensor that didn’t reach >85% of energy in the last 72h. Last message more than 24h.  Indicates a critical power issue that requires investigation.

Viewing the Energy Graph

To view detailed energy data for any device:

1. Go to the Device column in the Site Management view.

2. Click the arrow next to the device icon.

3. A data graph will open, which includes the Energy graph along with other device metrics.

4. Use the date selector to view energy levels over specific time periods.

This view helps you monitor energy trends, identify charging patterns, and verify if devices are receiving enough sunlight.

Energy Status Conditions 

Silvanet provides alerts when devices are not charging optimally. Key conditions include:

• Charging is not optimal:
  The device has not charged as expected for 24 hours. Sensor did not reach >85% energy in the last 24 hours. Refer to the troubleshooting guide.

• Charging issues:
  The device has not charged as expected for 72 hours. Sensor did not reach >85% energy in the last 72 hours. Refer to the troubleshooting guide.

Why Energy Monitoring Matters

Silvanet devices use solar-powered supercapacitors instead of traditional batteries. Monitoring energy levels helps you ensure devices remain self-sufficient, sustainable, and always ready to detect wildfires early, even in shaded or remote environments.

Addressing charging issues promptly prevents communication interruptions and ensures your Silvanet network continues to operate at full capacity.
