Active Power Sensors
Reporting Active Power in Watts
The HTTP integration of active power sensors uses the following structure:
POST /services/gear/DeviceIntegrationService.svc/UpdateActivePowerSensorStatus HTTP/1.1
Host: gear.cloud.studio
Content-Type: application/json
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"activePowerWatts": 18.5,
"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. | numeric |
| activePowerWatts | Active power, expressed in Watts. | 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 Active Power in "raw" Format
Active power 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/UpdateActivePowerSensorStatusRaw HTTP/1.1
Host: gear.cloud.studio
Content-Type: application/json
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"rawData": "18.5",
"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 the measured active power, expressed in Watts. | 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 |
