-===== How to start =====+Several instances of this software are implemented across consortium partners (details are on [[https://iot-open.eu|IOT-OPEN.EU and IOT-OPEN.EU Reloaded Main Page]], but perhaps the one you may want to start from is an instance implemented in SUT, shared with TalTech, ITsilesia, and ITT Group: [[https://iot.aei.polsl.pl|SUT's VREL NextGen]].

 +===== Booking a device =====
 +The device booking process is straightforward. You can book now, and in the future.
 +The process is described below:
 +  - Log in to the system.
 +  - Click Bookings button, figure {{ref>yb3}}.
 +  - Select the device from the list. Note that you may have access to multiple laboratories, devices, and technologies. Each device represents specific features, so check carefully with the documentation and scenarios you will implement to determine the necessary hardware components for your lab work. In case of doubt, contact the supervisor. A sample list with ESP32 laboratory devices is present in the figure {{ref>yb4}}.
 +  - Select the date and time; you can move among dates and book a device in advance! Respect other students and refrain from overbooking more than necessary or as instructed. {{ref>yb5}}
 +  - Once booked, switch back to "My Devices" and select a device (figure {{ref>yb6}}) - you can work only during the booked period, and you will be logged off automatically!
