Generic integration

Nodes which are not currently supported by Yggio can be made available through the generic integration.

Generic devices are identified by a globally unique id. There are a number of properties that can be chosen as the holder of you id.
Currently supported identifiers:

IdentifierName Description
id Fiware entity id
secret String between 8 and 128 characters, include only A-Z, 0-9, -, . and _
devEui 64-bit globally-unique Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64)
gatewayEui 64-bit globally-unique Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64)
imei International Mobile Equipment Identity, 15 digit number
tag any string
serialNumber any string

There are two actions that needs to be performed, in any order:

  1. Create the node through the control panel (or API, it follows Adding devices to Yggio)
    1.1 Login to Yggio with your username and password
    1.2 Navigate to IoT-nodes on the left side
    1.3 Press the New IoT-Node button in the top left corner
    1.4 Choose Generic
    1.5 Enter the unique id to be used for this device and press Next
    1.6 Give the node a name and press Next
    1.7 If everything looks OK, press Create, then Finish

  2. Send data to the integration, either by using HTTP or MQTT.
    For MQTT, see MQTT Broker.
    For HTTP, a message should be sent to <server>/http-push/generic with this format:

{
  <identifierName>: <identifier>,
  "basically": "any",
  "json": "compatible",
  "information": [1]
  "stuff": {
    "nested": "is allowed"
  }
}

The request must also include either a header or querystring that determine your identifier: identifier=<identifierName> An example:

curl -sS https://beta.yggio.net/http-push/generic?identifier=secret \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d @- <<EOF
{
  "secret": "ABCDEFGHIJKL_1234567890",
  "basically": "any",
  "json": "compatible",
  "information": [1],
  "stuff": {
    "nested": "is allowed"
  }
}
EOF

In logs you will find a history of all events occurring in your account including device updates, alarms, access rights, edits, downlinks and more.

logs-1

Filters

To ease monitoring efforts, a filter is available. The following filters can be used:

Type

  • Error: Error conditions detected, e.g. system tried to execute a command but failed to get response in time or a device failed to report in time
  • Warning: Typically low signal strength or some other sensor related issue such as an intrusion detection. Severity of the warning can be deduced from the priority
  • Info: Basic log

Priority

  • Low: Notification: NO. Most log events that are low severity will use this.
  • Medium: Notification: NO. Any possible action can be delayed, nothing serious will happens even if no action is taken.
  • High: Notification: YES. Typically this will be a serious warning that requires fast actions.
  • Severe: Notification: YES. Something serious has happened that requires urgent attention (typically risk for fires, explosions, etc).

Category

  • Status: General e.g. alarms, state, external errors
  • Update: Update of a node
  • Command: Downlinks
  • Access: Access rights granted e.g. account x granted read access to user y
  • Analytics: Device updates when new data is reported
  • Rule: Rule Engine related events

Message

  • Input unrestricted text relevant to your search.


Alarms

Alarms fall under the 'Status' category and are consistently accompanied by a 'Verify' button. It is essential to understand that verifying an alarm is a prerequisite for its reactivation. Failing to meet this requirement may lead to overlooked alarms.
