Location pin color

The color of the location pin shows the status of the location. The color is determined by the Location Status items, which are a set of metrics tracked by the firmware.

Location pin with a blue center

A location pin has a blue center if the device has an Automation input configured that evaluates either a threshold or an on/off state, and is then received by Digi Axess from the device. The input configuration is user-defined.

When you hover over a location pin on the map, a dialog that shows information about the location displays: the latitude and longitude of the location, and the location name and status.
