Device Selection
On mobile, the device picker shows your site's sensors. Meter-level selection and hierarchical grouping (by device type, load type, zone, panel, etc.) are not yet available. They will be added in a future update.
On the web, the device tree shows the full hierarchy - Panoramic Sensors grouped by category, Meters, and devices from other sites. You can also search and filter within the tree, and group by device type, load type, zone, panel, and more.
