Digital Twin Definition for device with multiple ports
Hi there, I am attempting to write an https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/concepts-device-templates for a https://www.netio-products.com/en/device/powerpdu-4c power distribution unit. The device has four metered & switched power ports, and ships with Azure IoT Hub connectivity. I am attempting to use Azure IoT Central to track the power usage of each four ports individually over time. I am struggling to understand how to write a device template for a device with "many" outputs, as each power port has its own set of telemetry/properties that can be set individually, and it's unclear from the documentation if DTML or IoT Central can support this kind of device, or if the PDU would need to be set up as a "gateway" with each of the ports functioning as an individual device. The following is an example of a raw/unmodelled telemetry payload sent via MQTT from the PDU: { "_unmodeleddata": { "Outputs": [ { "ID": 1, "Name": "output_1", "State": 1, "Current": 38, "PowerFactor": 0.58, "Load": 5, "Energy": 3894 }, { "ID": 2, "Name": "output_2", "State": 1, "Current": 79, "PowerFactor": 0.57, "Load": 11, "Energy": 4343 } ] }, "_eventtype": "Telemetry", "_timestamp": "2022-03-13T22:31:52.62Z" } Is it possible to codify a "has-many" relationship such as the above in DTML, or is IoT Central not compatible with the device? Please let me know if you need further information!Played with Azure IoT Central ... then stopped using it? We'd like to know why
If you have been trying Azure IoT Central but stopped using it, our engineering teams would like to hear from you to understand why. If you want to help us help you, making Azure IoT Central what you need and want, please fill in this short survey (<2min). You'll definitively influence the future of IoT Central. Thank you!
