Set up your site map

Snape 2.0Version 1.0 · 11 November 2026KC-02-046
This guide is for Snape 2.0, version 5.2.26.1022 or later.

The site map shows your nodes and sensors on a picture of your site. Each marker shows its live status.

You set it up once, in edit mode. This guide shows you how.

The pictures in this guide use a sample dam project with sample data. Your own site image, nodes and readings will look different.

Before you start

  • A site image: a site plan, floor plan, aerial photo or site photo (PNG or JPG).
  • Or a 3D model of your site (GLB file).
  • Your nodes are set up and syncing with your gateway.
  • You know where each node and sensor is installed.
STEP 1 Open the site map

In the left menu, click the map icon (Sitemap).

The site map opens on your current site view.

Tip: One gateway can have several views, for example one per wall or level. You place the same devices separately in each view.

STEP 3 Place your nodes

  • Export layout (JSON) saves the layout of this view as a file.
  • Remove all from this view takes every marker off this view.

To rename or delete a view, click the view name, then Rename view or Remove view.

Try it yourself: open the site map in the Snape demo. It runs on a sample project, so nothing touches a real gateway.
