What are trying to achieve? Please describe in detail.
Automatically add (and activate) fragments to devices, to be available in device-management.
Fragments will be received and controlled via MQTT - SmartREST
What we do
We are using <Administration/Settings/Properties Library>. We add properties and in we can activate all/some of these properties. After that, we can assign a value and the property “is part” of the device.
What we would like to do
#1
Basically, we would like to activate properties for a device via SmartREST.
We transfer the property-name and property value to a device. Then the device should have it “activated” (like manually with . Once the operator opens the device in the device manager, it should handle/display all added fragments.
#2 Additionally (this is a second, additional request):
In case #1 is OK - Is it possible to add & activate fragments, that are neither known to the device, nor they are properties from the properties Library?
Imagine I would like to add an information like
“manufacturer” : “Company xy, South-West-Something” to a device. And this information is shown in the device management.
Any input, idea how to implement this, is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
