Weight Sensors
Reporting Weight in Grams
The HTTP integration of weight sensors uses the following structure:
POST /services/gear/DeviceIntegrationService.svc/UpdateWeightSensorStatus HTTP/1.1
Host: gear.cloud.studio
Content-Type: application/json
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"weightGrams": 4500,
"timestamp": "2021-02-23T14:55:03"
}Parameters
| Name | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| accessToken | Access token with permissions to update endpoint information. See this page for more information. | text |
| endpointID | Unique endpoint identifier or combination of device address and endpoint address in format [deviceAddress]:endpointAddress (e.g.: [device-1234]:1). These values can be found on the endpoint management page. | text |
| weightGrams | Weight, expressed in grams. | numeric |
| timestamp | Optional value indicating the UTC date and time corresponding to the measurement. The date format must match one of those specified in the date formats section. If the field is omitted, the platform will assume the measurement corresponds to the current date and time. | text |
Reporting Weight in "raw" Format
Weight can be reported as a raw value using the expression converter. This option is convenient when the device is unable to perform conversions and emits values that need to be transformed before being injected into the platform.
Below is an example of a raw format request:
POST /services/gear/DeviceIntegrationService.svc/UpdateWeightSensorStatusRaw HTTP/1.1
Host: gear.cloud.studio
Content-Type: application/json
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"rawData": "4500",
"timestamp": "2021-02-23T14:55:03"
}Parameters
| Name | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| accessToken | Access token with permissions to update endpoint information. See this page for more information. | text |
| endpointID | Unique endpoint identifier, which can be found on the endpoint management page. | numeric |
| rawData | Value reported by the sensor, as text. An expression must be specified in the expression converter. The expression must return a numeric value indicating weight, expressed in grams. | text |
| timestamp | Optional value indicating the UTC date and time corresponding to the measurement. The date format must match one of those specified in the date formats section. If the field is omitted, the platform will assume the measurement corresponds to the current date and time. | text |
