How To Plot Your Devices On The Map In Your RoomAlert.com Account

In your Room Alert Account, you can plot your Room Alert Monitors on a map for visual inventory, and immediately know what locations have alerts in progress or may require attention.

You can plot your devices by:

– Street address
– City, state, zip code or country
– Coordinates
– Any other location that can be displayed on a map

Step 1: Plot your devices

Updating your device locations is easy. To plot a device:

1. First, log in to your account at RoomAlert.com.

In order to set or edit a device’s location, you must log in as an admin-level or operator-level user. For more information, please see the “Types of user roles” section of our FAQ, How To Manage User Access To Your RoomAlert.com Account.

2. Then select Devices in the navigation bar to the left.

3. In the Devices page, select the Map tab. Here, you’ll see a map of the world and a list of all of your registered devices.

4. Put your cursor in the Location field next to the desired device.

5. Enter the location.

6. Then simply click outside of the field to commit your changes.

7. Your device will now appear on the map, as shown below:

– You may change your device’s location at any time by overwriting the information in its Location field.

– If your device isn’t plotted in the exact location on the map, try entering the address in a different format or using the coordinates.

You can find the coordinates by searching for the address in Google Maps. (The coordinates are listed in your web browser address bar.)

– If desired, you can also enter addresses in the Location field that cannot be plotted on the map, as shown below.

Step 2: View your device on the map

Your devices appear on the map as red pointers displaying status icons:

– A circle with two signal bars  indicates that the device is online and is in a clear state.

– A circle with no signal bars  indicates that the device is offline.

– A lightning bolt  indicates that the device is in an alarm state.

Filter your devices

You can filter the devices displayed on the map by connection status, device type, and alert status.

Select the X to reset your filters.
