Duplicating a device

Duplicating a device allows copying some configuration elements from an existing device while adding a new device to the system.

The copied configuration applies to the following attributes:

  • Manufacturer, Model and ISM band
  • Activation mode
  • JoinEUI (only relevant for OTAA devices)
  • Connections
  • Motion Indicator
  • Tags and Domains
  • Additional information
  • Location mode, including the manual location if set
  • Connectivity plan (if applicable, not relevant for self-hosted TPE)
  • If roaming is activated on the original device, it will also be activated on the new one.

To learn more, see Device attributes.


  1. In the left panel, select Devices, then search for the device you want to duplicate.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • From the device's detailed dashboard, click at the top right corner of the page.
