Relay control widgets not working for relays in raspberry pi.
Product/components used and version/fix level:
Detailed explanation of the problem:
I am using raspberry pi with sensors and relays. I am able to control the relays using shell command in cumulocity’s ‘Device Management’ platform. But when I am using ‘relay control’ widget in custom built application then I am getting a message ‘Operation not supported by this device’. Please help to solve this issue. I want to control relays using ‘RELAY CONTROL’ widget.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lall,
your device needs to support the c8y_Relay operation: Sensor library - Cumulocity IoT Guides
In order for the Cumulocity UI to know that this operation is supported by your device, you will need to also list it within the c8y_SupportedOperations: Device management library - Cumulocity IoT Guides

I am able to get the ‘Relay Control’ buttons. And also in the control tab of device I am getting ‘close relay’ and ‘open relay’ commands. But the actual relays of the device is not responding.
Please help.
Your device/agent needs to support the c8y_Relay operation.
As you are using thin-edge, you need something on your device that receives the relay operation (SmartREST 2.0 - Cumulocity IoT Guides) processes it and updates it status. You would need to connect to the respective thin-edge mqtt topics on your local mqtt broker.

I am able to send relay command to switch on the relay in raspberry pi. First I sent “relayState” : “OPEN” through postman to this path ‘/inventory/managedObjects’ then I have created a file named ‘c8y_Relay’ in operations folder in raspberry pi. After that I used java program to receive relay command and send acknowledgement to cumulocity. I am able to see the relay operation ‘successful’ in control tab of 'device management. But when I am reloading the page the state of relay is not changing even after successful relay operation. Also When I am checking the state of c8y_Relay in config it is not changing.
I am sending acknowledgement in java as " client.publish(“c8y/s/us”, “503,c8y_Relay,relayState:OPEN”.getBytes(), 2, false)". This is updating the status of relay in real time but status is not getting updated in cumulocity database. Please help in updating relay status in cumulocity database.
