Connect a Scale
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
When using your **IoT Box** in Odoo, you could need to use a scale. Doing so is easy and convenient
|
||||
as it can be done in a few steps. Then, you can use it in your **Point of Sale app** to weigh your
|
||||
products, which is helpful if their price are based on it.
|
||||
|
||||
Connection
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
To link the scale to the **IoT Box**, connect them with a cable.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
In some cases, a serial to USB adapter may be needed.
|
||||
|
||||
If your scale is `compatibale 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.

|
||||
You may need to restart the box and download your scales’ drivers from the box in some cases. To do
|
||||
so, go to the *IoT Box Home Page* and click on *drivers list*. Then, click on load drivers.

Use a Scale in Point of Sale
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
To use the scale in your *Point of Sale* app, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration
|
||||
--> Point of Sale`, open the one you want to configure, then click on *Edit* and enable the *IoT
|
||||
Box* feature.

|
||||
|
||||
Now, choose the *IoT Box* in the dropdown menu and check the *Electronic Scale* option. Then, you
|
||||
hit save.

|
||||
|
||||
The scale is now available in all your *PoS* sessions. Then, if a product has a price per weight
|
||||
set, clicking on it on the *PoS* screen opens the scale screen, where the cashier can weigh the
|
||||
product and add the correct price to the cart.
