What is a site in Ubiqod?
On the Ubiqod platform, a site represents a physical location — such as a building, public area, or facility — used to group and organize trackers.
Using sites is optional. If you're already using your own asset or location management system, or if your tracker is mobile, you may not need this feature.
Creating a site
To create a site, go to the Sites menu and click + CREATE.
Using the web interface
-
Enter a site label (e.g., “ACME HQ”).
-
In the EDIT tab, choose how to define the location:
-
By address: Fill out the address fields and click CREATE.
-
By GPS coordinates: Enter latitude and longitude, then click CREATE.
-
Using imports
You can also import multiple sites at once from the IMPORT tab. A sample file is provided to help format your data correctly.
After creation, use the refresh button in the site list and click your new site to verify the map position.
Site options
Once a site is created, additional settings are available:
Geofencing distance
You can define a distance (in meters) from the site’s location to enable geofencing features in QR code interfaces.
Contacts
Each site can include two optional contacts (e.g., Customer and Manager). These can help trigger actions like sending an email when a button is pressed on a Smilio A device.
Network check (Sigfox only)
You can check if Sigfox network coverage is available at the site. This is relevant for IoT devices using Sigfox. For LoRaWAN connectivity checks, contact Taqt support.
External references
Use this field to store references from your existing system. These references can be transmitted via webhook during tracker interactions.
FAQ
Do I have to use sites?
No. Sites are optional, though recommended for managing large fleets or using geolocation features.
