# Viewing Your Devices

## Summary of the "Devices" View  <a href="#summary_of_the_-devices-_view_" id="summary_of_the_-devices-_view_"></a>

In the "Devices" view, you will be able to look at all devices (active or inactive) that were discovered and added to the platform. Here is where you will perform a point discovery for BACnet devices.  There are several components in this view that will provide details of that device, and allow you to execute a point discovery.

1. Search Bar (top right-hand part of view)
2. Name
3. ID
4. Network Address
5. Protocol Address
6. Protocol
7. Motion Hub

### **Step 1:** Navigate to "Devices" view <a href="#step_1-_navigate_to_-devices-_view" id="step_1-_navigate_to_-devices-_view"></a>

In order to view all of your devices, click the "Controls" option on the left-hand side vertical menu. &#x20;
