Device Activation

The following instruction and figures are based on a free demonstration app.

In order to be able to use the interface, the valid customer name and customer key must be entered first. This can be done under the service "000035E0-8EB0-4405-A6AA-800F66D02188":

Initially, the customer name must be set first. It is saved after the first successful activation and does not have to be entered again afterwards. Please ensure the correct spelling. If the customer name or customer key is entered incorrectly, the device cannot be activated. The current status of the activation can be queried via the characteristic STATE.

The customer name must be entered via the characteristic COMPANY. This is assigned to the corresponding key and must be entered correctly.

After entering the correct customer name, the state changes to WAIT_KEY:

In the above picture the customer name has already been entered and a valid customer key is expected.

The key received from Testo can now be entered.

Note

The key is confidential information. Passing on the key to third parties is prohibited. The customer must ensure that unsecured access to his key is prevented and that the key is not distributed in an uncontrolled manner.

When entering the key, please pay attention to the format, it must be entered in HEX format and must not contain any ASCII characters such as "-" or " ".

After successful activation of the device, the state is set to KEY_VALID:

Each time a hardware component is switched on again, the device must be reactivated with the known Product Activation Key. It therefore recommends adapting the software architecture of the system that the Product Activation Key is entered once at a central location (e.g. headquarters) and then saved in the corresponding Smart Devices via a secure interface.
