Cos Phi Sensors
Reporting Cos Phi
The integration of cos phi sensors over MQTT uses the following structure:
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"cosPhi": 0.96,
"timestamp": "2021-02-23T14:55:03",
"mqttMethod": "UpdateCosPhiSensorStatus",
"mqttRID": "tkrs34"
}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 |
| cosPhi | Cos phi, in the range -1 to 1. | 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 |
| mqttMethod | Service method to call, in this case UpdateCosPhiSensorStatus. | string |
| mqttRID | Optional request identifier, used to get a confirmation response. | string |
Reporting Cos Phi in "raw" Format
The cos phi 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.
Here is an example of a request in raw format:
{
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"endpointID": 1,
"rawData": "0.96",
"timestamp": "2021-02-23T14:55:03",
"mqttMethod": "UpdateCosPhiSensorStatusRaw",
"mqttRID": "tkrs34"
}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 with the cos phi, in the range -1 to 1. | 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 |
| mqttMethod | Service method to call, in this case UpdateCosPhiSensorStatusRaw. | string |
| mqttRID | Optional request identifier, used to get a confirmation response. | string |
