[MOV] documentation structure reorganization
This commit aims to improve the documentation's navigability by redefining some categories' purposes and titles. There is a redirection rule for each documentation page moved. This ensures that users won't have a 404 error message. task-3217827 closes odoo/documentation#8056 Signed-off-by: Jonathan Castillo (jcs) <jcs@odoo.com>

Connect a camera
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
A camera can be connected to an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box with an Odoo database in just a
|
||||
few steps. Once a camera is connected to an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, it can be used in
|
||||
a manufacturing process, or it can be linked to a quality control point/quality check. Doing so
|
||||
allows for the taking of pictures when a chosen quality control point/check has been reached, or
|
||||
when a specific key is pressed during manufacturing.
|
||||
|
||||
Connection
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
To connect a camera to an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, simply connect the two via cable.
|
||||
This is usually done with a :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` cable of some sort.
|
||||
|
||||
If the camera is `supported <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_, there is no need to set up
|
||||
anything, as it'll be detected as soon as it's connected.

Link camera to quality control point in manufacturing process
|
||||
=============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
In the :menuselection:`Quality app`, a device can be set up on a :guilabel:`Quality Control Point`.
|
||||
To do that, navigate to the :menuselection:`Quality app --> Quality Control --> Control Points` and
|
||||
open the desired :guilabel:`Control Point` that'll be linked to the camera.
|
||||
|
||||
On the control point form, edit the control point by selecting the :guilabel:`Type` field, and
|
||||
clicking on :guilabel:`Take a Picture` from the drop-down menu. Doing so reveals a field called
|
||||
:guilabel:`Device`, wherein the attached *device* can be selected. :guilabel:`Save` the changes, if
|
||||
required.

Connect a footswitch
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
When working in a manufacturing environment, it's always better for an operator to have both hands
|
||||
available at all times. Odoo's :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box makes this possible when using a
|
||||
footswitch.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, with a footswitch, the operator is able to go from one screen to another, and perform
|
||||
actions using their foot. This can be configured in just a few steps on the work center in the
|
||||
*Manufacturing* app.
|
||||
|
||||
Connection
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
To connect a footswitch to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, connect the two devices via
|
||||
cable. More often than not, this is done with a :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` cable.
|
||||
|
||||
If the footswitch is a `supported device <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_, there is no
|
||||
need to take further action, since it'll be automatically detected when connected.

To link a footswitch to an action, it first needs to be configured on a work center. Navigate to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Configuration --> Work Centers`. From here, go to the desired
|
||||
:guilabel:`Work Center` in which the footswitch will be used, and add the device in the
|
||||
:guilabel:`IoT Triggers` tab, under the :guilabel:`Device` column, by selecting :guilabel:`Add a
|
||||
Line`. Doing so means the footswitch can be linked to an option in the :guilabel:`Action` column
|
||||
drop-down, and optionally, a key can be added to trigger it. An example of an :guilabel:`Action` in
|
||||
the *Manufacturing app* could be the :guilabel:`Validate` or :guilabel:`Mark as Done` buttons on a
|
||||
manufacturing work order.

manufactured products.
|
||||
|
||||
In the *Quality app*, a device can be set up on a quality control point. To do that, go to the

A scale can be connected to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box on an Odoo database in a few
|
||||
easy steps. After setup, the *Point of Sale* app can be used to weigh products, which is helpful if
|
||||
their prices are calculated based on weight.
|
||||
|
||||
Connection
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
To link the scale to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, connect it with a :abbr:`USB
|
||||
(Universal Serial Bus)` cable.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
In some cases, a serial port to :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` adapter may be needed.
|
||||
|
||||
If the scale is `compatible with Odoo IoT Box <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_, there is
|
||||
no need to set up anything because it will be automatically detected as soon as it is connected.

|
||||
|

The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box may need to be restarted and the scale's drivers may need
|
||||
to be downloaded to the box in some cases. To update the drivers, go to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
||||
Things)` box homepage and click on :guilabel:`Drivers List`. Then, click on :guilabel:`Load
|

If loading the drivers still doesn't allow for the scale to function, it may be that the scale is

not compatible with the Odoo :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box. In this case, a different scale
|

will need to be used.

|
||||
Use a scale in a point of sale (POS) system
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To use the scale in the *Point of Sale app*, go to :menuselection:`PoS app --> 3-Dot Menu on the PoS
|
||||
--> Settings`, then enable the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box feature. After this is complete,
|
||||
the scale device can be set.
|
||||
|

Select the scale from the :guilabel:`Electronic Scale` drop-down menu. Then click :guilabel:`Save`
|

|
||||
|
||||
Access the customer display by going to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage and
|
||||
clicking on the :guilabel:`PoS Display` button. To get to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box
|
||||
homepage, navigate to :menuselection:`IoT app --> IoT Boxes` and click on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet
|
||||
of Things)` box homepage link.

Connection
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
The way to connect the screen display to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box differs depending
|
||||
on the model.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. tab:: IoT Box model 4
|
||||
|
||||
Connect up to two screens with micro-HDMI cables on the side of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
||||
Things)` box. If two screens are connected, they can display distinct content (see
|
||||
:ref:`Screen Usage <iot/usage_screen>`).
|
||||
|
||||
.. tab:: IoT Box model 3
|
||||
|
||||
Connect the screen with an HDMI cable on the side of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
|
||||
|
||||
.. seealso::
|
||||
:ref:`See the Raspberry Pi Schema <iot/connect_schema>`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Screen(s) should be connected before the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box is switched on. If
|
||||
it is already on, connect the screen(s), and then restart the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
|
||||
box by unplugging it for ten seconds and plugging it back into its power source.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
The usage of HDMI/micro-HDMI adapters may cause issues which will result in a blank, black screen
|
||||
on the screen display. Using the specific cable for the display connection is recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
If the connection was successful, the screen should display the :guilabel:`POS Client display`
|
||||
screen.

connected to an IoT box.
|
||||
|
||||
The screen should also appear in the list of :guilabel:`Displays` on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
||||
Things)` box homepage. Alternatively, the display can be seen by accessing :menuselection:`IoT app
|
||||
--> Devices`.

|

.. note::
|
||||
If no screen is detected, a default display named :guilabel:`Distant Display` will be displayed
|
||||
instead. This indicates that there is no hardware screen connected.
