Device Templates

Device Templates


In data validation, add data range with “to” keyword for integer e.g., 40 to 70, -40
to 20 for string and for character add comma separated list, e.g, Red, Blue, Green. String data is case
insensitive.


Tumbling windows are a series of non-overlapping and contiguous time intervals to send
data from device to cloud. When you have Edged Support device template at that time, you need to give
aggregation and time to send data to IoTConnect that is collected.


You can use OBJECT data type when you require to define sensors that contains more
than one value, For example: a gyroscope measures properties in multi-dimensional manner. Hence, by using Object
data type – you can measure x, y and z axis via gyroscope.


IoTConnect supports three data types – 1) Number, 2) String, and 3) Object.

  1. Number : any Number data
  2. String : any string or character data
  3. Object : any JSON data ex. gyro : { x : 1 , y : 2 , z : }


An edge device is any piece of hardware that controls data flow at the boundary
between two networks. Edge devices fulfil a variety of roles, depending on what type of device they are, but
they essentially serve as network entry (or exit) points. Some common functions of edge devices are the
transmission, routing, processing, monitoring, filtering, translation and storage of data passing between
networks.


It is a JSON file which contains the device sensors, commands and default
configuration information, which is used by SDK to communicate with the IoTConnect platform. In other words,
it’s responsible for cloud to device and device to cloud communications.
