A collection of Node-RED nodes to perform device and gateway operations using the Watson IoT Platform.

Install from npm

npm install node-red-contrib-ibm-wiotp-device-ops

##Device Type Manager node:

Device Type Manager node can perform actions on device types in the IBM Watson IoT Platform. For some fields, the value can be passed in the msg. Any fields set on the node explicitly take precedence.

1. Bluemix Service - Uses the Watson IoT Platform service bound to the application.
2. API Key - Use an API key for your Watson IoT Platform organization.

Available for delete, retrieve single device type or update operations, this specifies the Device type for the operation. May be specified by msg.payload.deviceType.

Available for create operation. Either 'Gateway' or 'Device'.

Specifies the operation to be performed. For more information, read the Watson IoT Platform documentation. May be specified by msg.operation.

Serial Number can form one aspect of a devices identifying attributes. Serial numbers are likely to be unique within a model number, but cannot be taken as a device identifier alone. May be specified by msg.payload.serialNumber.

This will be copied to all devices of this type when they are added to the Watson IoT Platform. May be specified by msg.payload.infoDescription.

The attribute lists the manufacturer of devices in this device type. May be specified by msg.payload.manufacturer.

Current firmware version installed on the device. May be specified by msg.payload.firmwareVersion.

This denote groups of devices that serve the same function or have the same characteristics, but may have different hardware versions. May be specified bypayload as msg.payload.model.

May be specified by msg.payload.hardwareVersion.

A class of devices is a grouping of devices sharing certain characteristics. A device class usually serves a descriptive function. May be specified by msg.payload.deviceClass.

The descriptive location of a device is a separate attribute of a device, and gives a descriptive location rather than a specific measured location. May be specified by msg.payload.descriptiveLocation.

Metadata can be used to define custom attribute fields that are not provided by the Watson IoT Platform. May be specified by msg.payload.metadata.

Device manager node lets you perform actions on devices that are connected to IBM Watson IoT Platform. For some fields, the value can be passed in the msg. Any fields set on the node explicitly take precedence.

1. Bluemix Service - Use the Watson IoT service bound to the application.
2. API Key - Use an API key for your Watson IoT Platform organization.

The device type for the operation. May be specified by msg.payload.deviceType.

Operations that can be performed on the device on Watson IoT Platform. For more information, read the Watson IoT Platform documentation. May be specified by msg.operation.xxx where xxx values supported are:

• GetAll
• Create
• Get
• Update
• Delete
• GetLoc
• UpdateLoc
• GetDm
