设备
设备 are 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 a serial number.
- They have some type of communication interface (MQTT, HTTP, NB-IoT, ZigBee, LoRaWAN, etc.)
- They have a description used in Gear to more easily identify the device.
- They have certain associated attributes that can be updated during operation.
Device Attributes
设备 can have associated attributes that may change during operation. 示例 of these attributes include:
- Battery level. Gear Studio allows reporting the battery level of devices that have one or more batteries. For devices with more than one battery, it is possible to report the status of each one separately.
- Signal level. 平台允许 reporting the signal level for devices that use wireless communication. For devices that support more than one wireless communication medium, it is possible to report the status of each one separately (e.g., cellular, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, ZigBee, etc.)
- Firmware version. The firmware version installed on the device can be reported, if available. This enables the version control functionality, to quickly identify devices that need to be updated.

设备 and 端点
In Gear Studio, the infrastructure of each facility is organized hierarchically into devices and endpoints. 设备 are the first level of a facility's infrastructure...
设备模型
简介 To facilitate device creation, the Gear Studio platform allows creating device models. Device models are primarily used to automatically describe each device's structure, its endpoints, basic properties, serial number validation rules, and much more.
