The Network section of the device management page provides detailed information about the network status and settings of your Beekee device. This section is essential for understanding and managing how your device connects and interacts with the network.

Device Status

  • Status: Indicates whether the device is currently online or offline. Please note that the status update can take up to 5 minutes, so there might be a brief delay if you have just connected the device to the internet.

  • Get Notified When Device Goes Online/Offline: A checkbox slider allows you to receive email notifications whenever the device changes its status to online or offline. Notifications are sent to the email address associated with your account.

  • IP Location: Shows the estimated location of the device based on its IP address. The accuracy of this location may vary, especially if the device is a Hub connected through mobile connectivity, as mobile IPs often reflect the location of the service provider rather than the actual device.

  • Timezone: Displays the timezone determined by the device's IP location.

Network Info

  • External IP: This is the IP address assigned to your device by the internet service provider, visible to the outside internet. It's used for external communication.

  • Internal IP: The internal IP address is used within your local network. It's unique to your device on your local network and not visible externally.

  • MAC Address: The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to your device's network interface. It's used for network identification purposes.

WIFI

  • Wi-Fi Name: Shows the current name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network generated by the device. Click on it to change the Wi-Fi name.

  • Wi-Fi Password: Displays the current Wi-Fi password. You can click on it to set a new password for the network.
