Set up a Signage device
Connect once, choose the device’s role and save its screen layout.
Before you begin
- Check the installed build against the Signage rollout guide.
- Have the project identifier and an authorised sign-in or kiosk token ready.
- Know the device’s physical orientation and its room or floor assignment.
Product design guide: these are the required Signage workflows, not a claim that every step exists in the reviewed overview branch. Check the rollout guide and your installed build before use.
Step by step
Connect your project
On first boot, the setup wizard asks for the Spacetime project and credentials. Use the approved OAuth sign-in or kiosk token. Use the same project as the rest of Spaze; no separate Copperwired-only app or database fork is required by this design.
Choose this device’s mode
Choose Overview, Access or In-room inside the same Tauri app. Access and In-room must select exactly one resource. Overview can rotate the project’s real floors or pin one floor.
Lock the orientation
Choose Portrait or Landscape to match the installed screen. Save this as a device setting. Resizing a viewport must not change the display’s orientation or switch its content arrangement.
Choose Overview content
For Overview only, set the floor-plan, room-details/schedule and advertising switches independently. Both plan and rooms are the default. Plan only, rooms only and ads-only are other intended arrangements. Access and In-room keep ads off.
Save, then restart
Save the configuration and restart the device. Confirm that the credentials, project, mode, resource or floor, orientation and content switches remain saved and the wizard is skipped. Reopen setup through the installation’s hidden gesture and PIN-protected route when changes are needed.
You’re ready when
The device restarts directly into its saved mode with the correct project, location and locked orientation.
Troubleshooting
- Setup appears after every restart
- Check that the build implements persistent device configuration and that saving succeeds. Do not work around this by putting credentials into the installed URL.
- The hidden setup gesture or PIN is unknown
- Ask the authorised installer for the gesture and PIN procedure for this build. This guide does not define a universal gesture or default PIN.
- The room selector is empty
- Check project permissions and the resource feed. Access and In-room must not continue with an unbound or guessed resource.
Technical details
- Requested debug contract
- ?mode=overview|access|in-room selects a temporary mode; ?resource= identifies the room for Access or In-room. ?project and ?token are debug overrides after the wizard. Mode/resource parameters are target behavior, not implemented by the reviewed config parser.
- Credential handling
- Persist authorised credentials across restart in the device’s approved credential store. Do not include tokens in screenshots, shared links, exported plans or support messages.
Common questions
- Do I install three apps?
- No. The product design is one Tauri app with a saved mode per device.
- Is a URL the installation method?
- No. The wizard and saved configuration are the installation path. URL values are technician debug overrides after setup, not a substitute for it.
