## Device

A piece of equipment with a unique identifier, installed in a space — an anchor, an anchor+, an edge or a client. It reaches the cloud through a gateway. A device belongs either to a single space or to the tenant as a whole; in the latter case every space of the tenant sees it (see [Tenant devices](admin_devices.md)).
