Automation examples
Practical cases for inspiration. All follow the trigger → (condition) → action model.
Tag devices by manufacturer
- Trigger: Periodic event (the CPE periodically reports to the ACS).
- Condition: manufacturer = Huawei (or TPLink, etc.).
- Action: apply the tag "Huawei".
- Why: to be able to filter and act in bulk by manufacturer later.
Initial configuration when a new CPE is detected
- Trigger: CPE added / detected on the ACS server.
- Action: apply the initial configuration (WiFi/WAN) or a script.
- Why: every new device is already configured out of the box, with no manual intervention.
Update firmware on first connection
- Trigger: CPE's first connection to the ACS.
- Condition: specific model (e.g.: C20).
- Action: update to the firmware version approved by the ISP.
- Why: to standardize the firmware version across the base.
Log an event on relevant actions
- Trigger: CPE restarted.
- Action: generate an event/log entry.
- Why: traceability and auditing.
tip
After creating an automation, validate its behavior on a few devices and track it in Execution Queue and Logs before trusting it for the whole base.
