Device Control


EnOS™ Edge receives the control command sent from applications on the cloud, converts them into protocol-conforming messages that the sub-device can process, and sends messages to the sub-devices to for them to execute the commands.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites required for the Edge to control sub-devices include the following:

  • The applications on the cloud can send device control.

  • The protocol with which Edge communicates with the sub-device supports the control command.

  • The sub-device can receive the remote control demands.

Methods to Control

EnOS™ Edge provides the following methods to control devices:

  • Standard local control APIs for Edge local applications and computing analysis module

  • Flexible remote control protocols for the third party control system

  • Compatible with the downlink control channel defined by EnOS™ standard

Control Type

The current Edge supports the following control types:

  • Remote control DO: Sending the switch quantity commands

  • Remote tuning AO: Sending the analog quantity commands
