Interconnect

Note

Interconnect feature is an additional package.

Interconnect is a feature that allows automatic sending (pushing) data to third-party systems.

Transport

Data is transported using JSON format similar to rayleighconnect™ API format.

{
    "data": {
           "DEVICE_ID@NAMESPACE": {
                  "SENSOR_ID" : [
                          [TIMESTAMP, VALUE],
                          (...)
                  ],
                  (...)
           },
           (...)
     },
     "from": TIMESTAMP,
     "to": TIMESTAMP,
     "OPTION": "VALUE",
     (...)
}

Timestamp format is milliseconds elapsed since 01/01/1970 (unix epoch).

Protocol

There are following options for data transfer:

FTP
FTP over TLS 1.2
SSH SFTP

Configuration screen

To access interconnect configuration screen:

click on User icon placed on the right side of top bar
select "Payments and services" option
click on "Interconnect"
You will be taken to Interconnect dashboard which shows a list of configured services.
Click on the "Add interconnect" button on the left.

Configuration settings

Data sending interval is controllable by the customer. Devices standard configuration is to acquire data from meters every 1 minute. Interconnect can be set to upload data every 1 minute, every 10 minutes, every hour or day. Any number of seconds can be entered (with recommended minimum being 2 minutes).

The interconnect can send all sensor data acquired by the gateway:

meters: depending on selected meter model we will read: kWh, Voltage, Current, Power factor, Frequency, etc.
other data: digital inputs, relay outputs, gsm signal strength, etc

Customer can configure which sensors and meters readings are sent.

If Interconnect is configured to send data eg. every 10 minutes then the file will contain multiple data points acquired since previous Interconnect data transfer.

System allows creation of multiple records - data can be sent to multiple destinations.
