# Device Management

Device management in Luxonis Hub is the part of the platform that lets you inspect device state, perform supported device
operations, and open remote workflows after a device has been adopted into Hub.

## Why it matters

Once a device is connected, Hub gives you a shared place to understand whether it is online, what software it is running, which
applications are installed, and whether remote access or supported update actions are available. That is the practical
control-plane layer most teams need before they can operate a real fleet.

## Mental model

Think of device management in Hub as three layers:

 * 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

From the [Devices](https://hub.luxonis.com/control/devices) page, you can monitor all adopted devices in one place and open the
detail view for a specific device.

From the device detail view, you can inspect:

 * 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

The Device Overview page is the main operational summary for one device.

From there, you can typically:

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

> **Connect a device first**
