设备 and 端点
In Gear Studio, the infrastructure of each facility is organized hierarchically into devices and endpoints.
设备
设备 constitute the first level of a facility's infrastructure. They typically correspond to physical devices such as sensors, gateways, dimmers, actuators, thermostats, etc. 设备 have the following characteristics:
- They have a model (or a brand and model combination)
- They have a unique identifier, such as a MAC address or serial number.
- They have some type of communication interface (MQTT, HTTP, NB-IoT, ZigBee, LoRaWAN, etc.)
- They have a description used in Gear to identify the device more easily.
端点
A single device can have multiple sensors, functions, or channels. For example, in the case of a dimmer capable of controlling four light circuits, it can be said to have four distinct functions or "channels". When a user interacts with the device, they are actually interacting with one of those channels, not the entire device.
Each of these functions or channels, in Gear Studio terminology, is called an "endpoint". 端点 have the following characteristics:
- They have a unique identifier within the device.
- They have a sensor type (temperature sensor, light, energy, volume, etc.)
- They have a description used in Gear to identify the endpoint more easily.
- They have an associated sector, indicating w此处 they are installed or w此处 they operate (the location within the facility).
- Depending on the sensor type, they may have other specific characteristics.
