The instant the SDK starts on a robot, it reports to Kovio. You see it on your dashboard immediately — no manual onboarding, no pairing step.

The timeline

1

≈ 1 second — the robot registers

On start the SDK heartbeats Kovio and auto-registers under your fleet. A new robot appears on your dashboard, with its model, SDK version, and platform.
2

≈ 1 second — activation event

An sdk.activated event lands in your live activity feed — your signal that a partner just uptook the SDK.
3

≈ 60 seconds — first moments

The robot begins reporting verified moments. They cost into impressions and revenue on your fleet view within about a minute.
This is resilient to boot-time network races: if Wi‑Fi comes up a few seconds after the service starts, the first report is buffered locally and delivered as soon as the link is ready — an uptake is never missed.

​
What you’ll see

  • A new robot under the fleet that owns the key you issued.
  • An sdk.activated event in the activity feed.
  • Impressions and revenue climbing on the fleet, attributed to your active campaigns.
If a fleet’s impressions stay flat after install, the most common cause is that the campaign’s advertiser has no balance — see FAQ.
