Register

To register a new entity with the (IDEAM) Middleware, you need a UNIQUE device name and the OWNER API KEY:

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> deviceHandler = Entity("new-device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> deviceHandler.register()
{'APIKey': 'DEVICE-API-KEY', 'Subscription Queue Name': 'new-device-name', 'ResourceID': 'new-device-name', 'Registration': 'success'}
>>> deviceHandler.set_entity_api_key("DEVICE-API-KEY")
DEVICE-API-KEY

NOTE: Store the DEVICE-API-KEY obtained in the response, in a safe place. This DEVICE-API-KEY will be required for doing operations like publish, subscribe and accessing historical data.

For an Already Registered Device

Here, we can skip the registration of the entity with the middleware.

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> deviceHandler = Entity("device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> deviceHandler.set_entity_api_key("DEVICE-API-KEY")

Publish

To publish to the (IDEAM) Middleware as an IoT device/entity:

Args:

data (string): contents to be published by this entity.

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> deviceHandler = Entity("publishing-device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> deviceHandler.set_entity_api_key("PUBLISHING-DEVICE-API-KEY")
>>> deviceHandler.publish("demo data")
{'status': 'success', 'response': 'publish message ok'}

Subscribe

To listen (subscribe) to the data from a device/entity registered with the (IDEAM) Middleware, do the following steps:

Subscribe. This method will start listening for the data from middleware. This method will automatically bind or listen to any devices provided in the argument list. When a new data from the device arrives, it is stored in an internal variable called subscribe_data. The subscribe_data is a dictionary with data and timestamp field. timestamp denotes the epoch time (in milliseconds) at which data arrived.

Args:

devices_to_bind (list of strings): an array of devices to listen to.

Ex: subscribe([“test100”, “testDemo”])

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> applicationHandler = Entity("listening-device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> applicationHandler.set_entity_api_key("LISTENING-DEVICE-API-KEY")
>>>
>>> applicationHandler.subscribe(["publishing-device-name", "publishing-device-2"])
>>> applicationHandler.subscribe_data
{'data': 'demo data', 'timestamp': '1513526954674'}

Unbind

To unbind any entity that is already bound to, use the unbind method:

Args:

devices_to_unbind (list of strings): an array of devices that are to be unbound ( stop listening). Ex. unbind([“test10”,”testDemo105”])

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> applicationHandler = Entity("listening-device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> applicationHandler.set_entity_api_key("LISTENING-DEVICE-API-KEY")
>>> applicationHandler.unbind(["publishing-device-name"])
{'status': 'success', 'response': 'unbind queue ok'}

Access historical data

The db function allows an entity to access the historical data.

Args:

entity (string): Name of the device to listen query_filters (string): Elastic search response format string. Ex. query_filters=”pretty=true&size=10”

>>> from ideam.entity import Entity
>>> applicationHandler = Entity("listening-device-name", "OWNER-API-KEY")
>>> applicationHandler.set_entity_api_key("LISTENING-DEVICE-API-KEY")
>>> applicationHandler.db("rbccpsEnergy.EM_D0025860")
