Devices List
The Devices List page in RUFUS Cloud provides a centralized overview of all timing devices associated with your account. From this page you can monitor device status, review recent activity, manage sessions, and launch new devices for race operations.
Devices can include:
RUFUS CloudBox hardware units
RUFUS Race App virtual devices
Custom timing devices integrated via the RUFUS Public API
The Devices List acts as the operational control center for your timing infrastructure.
To access it, open Devices from the main navigation bar.
Devices List Layout
The page is organized into three main sections:
Device management tools
Device visualization (Card view or Table view)
Device activity information
Device Management Tools
At the top of the page you will find quick tools for managing devices.
Bind Your CloudBox
This panel allows you to generate a temporary binding token to connect a CloudBox device to your RUFUS Cloud account.
To bind a device:
Click Generate token.
Enter the generated token in the Cloud section of the CloudBox interface.
Once authenticated, the device will appear automatically in your Devices list and begin synchronizing with RUFUS Cloud.
Launch Race App
This panel allows you to create a virtual Race App device.
Race App devices are used by judges and race officials to manually record race events such as bib captures and race control operations.
When launching a Race App you can configure:
Race App alias (device name)
Access token expiration time (TTL)
After launching, the Race App can authenticate using the generated access token.
Device Views
The Devices List supports two display modes.
Card View
The Card View presents devices as visual cards, offering a quick operational overview.
Each card displays:
Device name and identifier
Device availability status
Number of recorded sessions
Last passing timestamp
For CloudBox devices, additional indicators may appear on the card header, including:
Connection status (Online / Offline)
Battery level
Device temperature
RFID reader activity
Cards provide a fast way to inspect device health and recent activity.
Table View
The Table View provides a compact list of all devices with sortable columns.
This view is particularly useful when managing a larger fleet of devices.
The table includes the following columns.
Device
The device alias and device type.
Examples include:
CloudBox
Race App
API devices
Other integrated timing devices
Identifier
The unique identifier of the device within the RUFUS ecosystem.
Examples include:
CloudBox serial numbers
Race App instance IDs
Public API device identifiers
Event
Shows whether the device is currently available or assigned to an event.
Sessions
Displays the number of timing sessions recorded by the device.
Status
Indicates the current operational state of the device.
Examples include:
Available
Offline
No active token (Race App devices without a valid token)
Last Passing
Shows when the device last recorded a passing.
This helps identify recent device activity.
Actions
Available actions may include:
Open the device dashboard
View device location
Manage device configuration
Delete or reset the device
Sorting and Filtering Devices
When using Table View, devices can be organized using the available filters.
Event Filter
Allows you to filter devices by the event they are currently associated with.
Sort Options
Devices can be sorted using different criteria, such as:
Last passing (newest first)
Other device attributes
Sorting helps identify the most recently active devices during race operations.
Real-Time Device Monitoring
All device information displayed on the Devices List page updates in real time.
This includes:
Device connectivity
Recent passings
Session counts
Battery levels (CloudBox)
Device status changes
This real-time visibility allows race organizers to quickly detect operational issues and monitor device activity across the entire event infrastructure.
Typical Use Cases
The Devices List page is commonly used to:
Monitor the health of all timing devices
Launch Race App instances for judges
Bind new CloudBox devices
Inspect device activity and sessions
Access device dashboards
It serves as the central entry point for device management in RUFUS Cloud.
