Field notes
The described agent sends a 19-byte heartbeat containing device health metrics, while the dashboard offers 24 hours of history per device. Fleet commands can be staged as canaries and batched, with the page saying execution stops if too many commands fail. The displayed fleet is explicitly sample data; its locations, readings, and online states are examples rather than verified customer devices.
