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
