Registration

When installing the physical Aerosense system onto one or more turbines (typically the turbines in a particular wind farm), you need to register the installation in the aerosense database.

For experimental and test purposes, there will generally be only one turbine (and therefore one gateway) per deployment.

Either way, once you’ve installed and configured the gateway, you need to register the installation.

Tip

Make sure you’ve chosen a sensible value for the installation_reference value in your configuration file. This should be unique to your installation (an error will occur in registration if it’s been used before), and this will be what you use to refer to later when you want to filter results in dashboard and aerosense-tools.

To register, do:

gateway create-installation --config-file $GATEWAY_CONFIG_FILE

And follow the instructions. After this, the gateway should be ready for use.
