ClosedUsing Filters for Your Analysis Needs

You can modify the data shown in a set of reports based on specific filters. This enables you to visualize and analyze data to make product improvements, revenue predictions, etc. The following table provides a description of some of the common filters used in the ten Ayla Insight reports.

Search Filter Description
Software Version This is the firmware image (specific software version) associated with the devices. It is either the version of the Ayla firmware on the Wi-Fi module, or the version of the host MCU's firmware that runs on the OEM's microcontroller unit (MCU). The host MCU is the product’s MCU that communicates directly with the Ayla-enabled Wi-Fi module using the Ayla module drivers.
Date Range

This enables you to show data for a specific date or time frame.
OEM Model This is a specific product model created by the OEM to represent that the product is connected to the Ayla cloud. This is also described as the name of the device that the OEM created.
Notification Type This enables you to show device data based on a specific alert type (user-defined notification), such as SMS (short message service), email, push (set up and sent from server usually in real-time), forward, and so on. Notifications help monitor device activity.
Datapoint Name This enables you to review and analyze device data for a specific datapoint (by its name, i.e. heat_on for a heater) of a device property (i.e. fan_speed for a ceiling fan or heat_set_point for a heater).
Property Name This enables you to review and analyze device data for a specific device property. The property name usually refers to and matches the property on the device, i.e. Blue_LED.
Display Name Like the Property Name filter, this enables you to review and analyze device data for a specific device property, but this filter is based on the display name, not the property name. The display name refers to the actual device (product), i.e. kitchen_light_on.
Datapoint Value This enables you to review and analyze device property data for a specific datapoint value (i.e. 75 degrees Fahrenheit for the temperature property of a heater.)
DSN This enables you to view specific datapoint transmission trends for a particular device by entering the device serial number (DSN).
Display This enables you to show the data over weeks, months, or years. This filter is available for all report sets.

 

NOTE

When you select a filter in one set of reports, that same filter is set in all reports for which the filter is applicable.

The following five reports have the same filters available (which are shown below this list):

  • Overview
  • Device Trends
  • Device Software Analysis
  • Device Usage Analysis
  • User Analysis

The five reports in the table below have at least one of the three filters shown above, but each report also has additional filters enabling you to drill down on the data in the report for specific analysis needs.

Report Filters
Device Details Date Range, OEM Model, Display, Notification Type.
Notification Analysis Date Range, OEM Model, Notification Type, Property Name, Display Name, DSN.
Datapoint Transmission Trends Date Range, OEM Model, Display, Property Name, Display Name, DSN, Datapoint Value.
Datapoint Analysis Date Range, OEM Model, Display, Property Name, Display Name, DSN.
Onboarding Analysis Date Range, OEM Model, Display.
