Device Control¶
The prerequisites required for the Edge to control sub-devices include the following:
- The applications on the cloud can send device control commands;
- The protocol with which Edge communicates with the sub-device supports the command;
- The current Edge supports the following control types:
- Remote control DO: sending the switch quantity commands;
- Remote tuning AO: sending the analog quantity commands.
Device control by EnOS™ Edge includes the following steps performed by Edge:
- Receiving the control commands sent from applications on the cloud;
- Converting them into protocol-conforming messages that the sub-device can process;
- Sending messages to the sub-devices to for them to execute the commands.
