Registering equipment#
When you install a new device at a customer site (heat pump, ceiling heater, AC unit, lighting sensor, …), you should register it in the customer’s equipment list. This pays off in:
- Warranty handling — when a fault comes up in 2 years, any installer can see which device, from which supplier, when installed.
- Service history — for each device, all tasks involving it are shown.
- Contract customers — the office reports the equipment in the registry.
Registering from a product line#
The easiest path: you’ve already added a product line to the task (e.g. a Nibe F-series heat pump). From there:
- Task’s Products tab.
- Tap the product line → detail modal opens.
- In the modal: “Register as equipment” button.
- Sub-modal:
- Install date — defaults to today
- Serial number — required
- Warranty expires — defaulted from the product category (office defines wholesaler warranty terms in the background)
- Location note — optional (“Technical room”, “Sauna”, “Front yard”)
- Save → the equipment appears in the customer’s equipment list and the task’s Equipment tab.
**Any product line can be registered as equipment** — not only those pre-flagged. Older versions had an `is_equipment` flag that restricted this, but now the installer can decide on site (e.g. "this heating cable is more important than expected, let's register it").
Registering directly to a customer (no product line)#
If on a service visit you find a previously installed device that’s not in the registry:
- Open the task.
- Equipment tab → "+ Add equipment" button.
- Find or create a new product (if it’s not in the LVISnet catalogue, ask the office — worth adding).
- Fill in serial number, install date, location.
- Save.
Existing registered equipment#
The task’s Equipment tab shows all of the customer’s devices. Tap one to see:
- Serial number, model, manufacturer
- Install date + installer name
- Warranty status — green (valid) / grey (expired)
- Service history — all tasks where this device was involved
Warranty matters#
When doing a service visit to a warranty-valid device:
- Tick the “Warranty visit” flag on the task.
- The office bills the warranty vendor (heat pump manufacturer, wholesaler) rather than the end customer.
Troubleshooting#
Can’t find a device I installed a week ago
Check you were on the right customer — equipment goes to the
customer whose task it was registered in. If the customer changed
during installation, ask the office — they can move it.
Can’t find the serial number on the device
Common locations: rear panel, underside, right side, inside (hatch
open). If nowhere, take a photo of the type plate and note the model
instead of the serial. The office can fill in later.
Same device appears twice in the list
Possible duplicate — serial number is the unifying field but
sometimes a second entry happens before the serial is known. Ask
the office to clean up.
