Connect Sub-devices to EnOS Cloud


Before a sub-device comes online, ensure that:

  • The sub-device identity is registered in EnOS Cloud.

  • The topology relationship is added in Edge.

The cloud will verify the sub-device identity based on the topology relationship to confirm that the sub-device has the ability to use the gateway channel before bringing it online.

Upstream

  • Request TOPIC: /ext/session/{productKey}/{deviceKey}/combine/login

  • Reply TOPIC: /ext/session/{productKey}/{deviceKey}/combine/login_reply

The productKey and deviceKey in above Topics belong to the gateway device.

Sample Request Format

{
    "id": "123",
    "params": {
        "productKey": "theSubProductKey",
        "deviceKey": "theSubDeviceKey",
        "clientId": "theSubDeviceId",
        "timestamp": "1524448722000",
        "signMethod": "hmacmd5",
        "sign": "theSignature",
        "cleanSession": "true"
    },
    "method":"combine.login"
}

Sample Response Format

{
  "id":"123",
  "code":200,
  "message":"success",
  "data": {
    "assetId": "t5CM9W2b",
    "productKey": "123",
    "deviceKey": "test"
  }
}

Request Parameter Description

Parameter

Type

Mandatory/Optional

Description

id

String

Optional

The message ID. It is a reserved parameter that is reserved for future use.

params

Map

Mandatory

The parameters used for connecting sub-device to EnOS Cloud.

deviceKey

String

Mandatory

The device key of the sub-device.

productKey

String

Mandatory

The product key of the sub-device

method

String

Mandatory

The request method.

sign

String

Mandatory

The signature of the sub-device. Sub-devices use the same signature rules as the gateway.

signmethod

String

Mandatory

The signing method. The supported method is hmacSha1.

timestamp

String

Mandatory

The timestamp.

clientId

String

Mandatory

The identifier of the sub-device. The value can be its productKey or deviceName.

cleanSession

String

Mandatory

Supported value: True. Offline information (information that has not been received by QoS 1) will be cleared for all sub-devices.


To generate sign, you need to use every key-value pair in the params parameter except sign and signmethod. The steps are as follows.

  1. Concatenate every key-value pair except sign and signmethod in alphabetical order in the form of “key+value””key+value””key+value”.

    For example, a concatenated string as follows should be generated from the previous request based on the request’s params: clientIdtheSubDeviceIddeviceKeyyourDeviceKeyproductKeyyourProductKeytimestamp1524448722000

  2. Add the device’s device secret to the end of the concatenated string from the previous step. Use the algorithm specified by signmethod to calculate the string that includes the device secret. Capitalize all letters in the result to get the sign.

    For example, if the device secret is xyz123, the value forsign can be generated using the below:

    sign=uppercase(hmacsha1(clientIdtheSubDeviceIddeviceKeyyourDeviceKeyproductKeyyourProductKeytimestamp1524448722000xyz123))
