Guide

Fleet Operator

The Fleet Operator manages devices at scale. Where a device owner watches one thermostat, the fleet operator shepherds thousands — grouping them, pushing configuration, and rolling out firmware safely.

Mental model

Think of the fleet operator as the pilot of the control plane: they decide what the fleet should be doing, and the platform makes the reported state converge on that desired state.

Goals

  • Keep a healthy, up-to-date fleet with minimal manual intervention.
  • Roll out firmware to cohorts without breaking the field.
  • Dispatch commands to devices and confirm they were applied.

Where they work

User-Facing Apps

Fleet dashboards, cohorts and rollout monitoring.

Device Management

Configuration, twins and OTA campaigns.

How they work

Dispatch a command

The operator targets devices and issues a command; the platform tracks delivery and acknowledgement.

Roll out firmware

For larger changes they plan a campaign and watch it progress cohort by cohort, pausing if error rates climb.
