# Managing Hardware (Computer Devices and Phones)

This page explains how to connect, link, and manage hardware devices within Homnifi’s DeFi360 platform.

### Hardware Overview

* **Computer Devices**: Physical devices shipped to users, connected via serial number or Mac address, offering a 10% reward boost for linked licenses.
* **Phones**: Connected via QR code through a companion app, enabling license linking for rewards.
* **NFT Capacity**: Each device has a set capacity for NFT weightage from linked licenses.
* **Reward Boost**: Linked licenses receive a 10% reward boost proportional to their NFT weightage.

### Connecting Hardware

#### Connecting a Computer Device

1. Purchase a Computer Device; it’s automatically added to your CloudK account.
2. Upon receipt, log in to Homnifi and navigate to **DeFi360 > CloudK > Hardware**.
3. Select the Computer Device and click **Connect**.
4. Enter the serial number or Mac address.
5. The system validates against purchase records; the Computer Device is marked **Connected** on success.
6. Connection is logged in the transaction history.

#### Connecting a Phone

1. Navigate to **DeFi360 > CloudK > Hardware** and select the phone.
2. Click **Connect** to generate a QR code.
3. Scan the QR code using the Homnifi companion app on your phone.
4. On successful validation, the phone is marked **Connected**.
5. Connection is logged in the transaction history.

### Linking Hardware

Link active licenses to connected hardware to utilize NFT capacity and receive boosted rewards.

* **Requirements**:
  * Licenses must be active with available NFT weightage.
  * Total NFT weightage must not exceed the hardware’s capacity.
* **Process**:
  1. Select a connected Computer Device or phone and click **Link**.
  2. Choose eligible licenses (full or partial NFT weightage, e.g., 2 NFTs from an 8-NFT license).
  3. Confirm to link; rewards (including 10% boost) start accruing.
* **Example**:
  * Computer Device capacity: 10 NFTs, 8 used. Link a 2-NFT license or 2 NFTs from an 8-NFT license.
  * If the license generates 20 LYK, 25% (2/8 NFTs) qualifies for a 10% boost (0.4 LYK total).
* **Default Licenses**: Some hardware includes pre-linked licenses, auto-activated on connection but shown as disabled if expired.
* **Validations**:
  * Verify license validity and available NFT weightage.
  * Ensure total NFT weightage fits hardware capacity.
* **Edge Cases**:
  * Expired licenses: Auto-delinked; cannot be linked.
  * Capacity exceeded: Error message displayed.

### Delinking Hardware

* **Process**:
  1. Go to **Hardware Details** and select a linked license.
  2. Click **Delink** to remove the license and free NFT capacity.
  3. Delinking is logged in the transaction history.
* **Impact**: Boosted rewards stop for the delinked license; past rewards remain.
* **Auto-Delinking**: Occurs when a license expires or linking period ends.

### Hardware Details

Access by clicking **View Details** on a hardware device from the CloudK homepage.

* **Displayed Information**:
  * **Image and Name**: Computer Device or phone with product name.
  * **Status**: Connected or not connected (with **Connect** option).
  * **Options**:
    * **Link**: Add licenses if NFT capacity is available.
    * **Delink**: Remove licenses to free capacity.
    * **Reboot** (Computer Devices only): Remotely restart the Computer Device.
  * **Serial Number**: Unique identifier for the device.
  * **Computer Device Rewards**:
    * Lifetime rewards: Total boosted rewards (LYK-W: 60%, LYK-R: 40%).
    * Daily rewards: 10% boost per linked license, proportional to NFT weightage.
    * Claim option: Transfer LYK-W and LYK-R to respective wallets.
  * **Daily Activity** (Computer Devices):
    * **Active**: ≥50% successful pings in 24 hours.
    * **Inactive**: <50% pings; no boosted rewards for that day.
  * **Linked Licenses**: Lists license details (image, name, Minting Utility Tokens, NFT weightage).
  * **Reward History**: View all rewards generated by linked licenses.
  * **Recent Transactions**: Last 3 actions; click **View All** for full history.
