One setup for many boards

A template is a saved device builder setup without a sensor and without WiFi: board, wiring, power and timing. Flash every board of the same kind from it, and change all of them later in one pass. Create one with + Create template on the Templates tab, with Save as template on the last step of the device builder, or from a sensor's Device setup settings. You can keep up to 50 templates. Each name is used once.

You see	Meaning
v4	The current version. Every saved config change adds a version with a summary, for example "Send interval 10 → 5 min · + WiFi signal".
current	A linked device runs the current version.
behind	A linked device runs an older version. The card shows for example "2 behind v4".
drifted	A linked device was changed on its own since it took the template.
Check setup	The template no longer fits today's device builder, for example a sensor that is no longer offered. Open it and check the marked steps before you flash.

Change a template and its devices

1
Edit
Opens the template in the device builder: board, wiring, power, timing. Save changes stores the next version. Save as new template keeps the old one as it is.
2
Decide on the linked devices
Back on the Templates tab, a banner asks whether the linked devices should take the change too. Not now keeps them as they are; the new version then only counts for future flashes.
3
Apply to linked devices…
Opens the bulk change dialog on its check. Devices that are behind are preselected, drifted ones are marked, because their own edits get replaced. Firmware can go along in the same pass.
4
Flash from template
Puts the template on a new board in four steps: template, sensor, WiFi, flash. The sensor can be created on the spot.

Rename changes only the name. The bin icon deletes the template after a confirmation. Linked devices keep running exactly as they are and only lose the link.
