After you activate a powered Asset Gateway (AG) and before you install the AG to an asset, the device displays in your dashboard as Uncategorized. After you complete the installation, Samsara automatically detects and updates the asset type.
If Samsara cannot detect the asset type or if you deactivate the asset, the AG asset type reverts back to Uncategorized. To enable the workflows associated with the asset type, you can manually assign an asset type to an uncategorized AG, but you can only do so once. After you manually assign a type, you must deactivate the asset to assign a different type.
