Device Management
Why it matters
Mental model
- Device visibility: the device list and overview tell you which devices exist, whether they are healthy, and what they are currently running.
- Supported device actions: Hub can expose actions such as reboot or supported OTA updates where that path exists.
- Remote operations: Web Terminal and related workflows give you operational access for debugging or maintenance.
Self-hosted boundary
For self-hosted deployments, Hub does not manage the underlying host operating system. The host remains customer-managed even when Hub is used for remote access and app lifecycle workflows.
What you can inspect today

- Uptime and recent device status
- Device information such as name, ID, serial number, and installed OS version
- Connection and network details relevant to current device reachability
- Installed applications and their current states
- Supported update state where OTA actions are available for that device path
Device overview in practice

- review the current device state before making changes
- rename the device
- reboot the device
- move into app-management or remote-access workflows
