Backend API to take in data from IoT devices and serve it to clients via REST endpoints. Devices need to be registered before they can send data to API.
API has been updated to accept only HTTPS requests.
REST API documentation can be found here
Connection to socket.io is done at https://www.terasyshub.io/
To obtain data from socket.io, you must set it to listen to the type of data you want returned. In this case either temperature or humidity as these are the only ones we have implemented so far.
To get get data from the API, there are two methods:
Using this method, it is possible to manually set an interval in the frontend at which to poll the API for data.
To do so, emit the event getData to socket.io. The data to provide is as follows:
{
"mac" : "00:0a:95:9d:68:16",
"type" : "temperature",
"last" : 1487868693,
"token" : {{authtoken}}
}mac is the mac address of the device to get data for
type is the type of data to be returned
last optional field. Determines up to what time to pull results from. Leave blank to return latest datapoint.
Data is returned as it would be from the REST endpoint.
This method returns data to the temperature and humdity events as soon as data is saved in the database.
To be updated whenever data for a device is saved in the DB, simply send the mac address of the device to the register listener like so:
socket.emit('register', {device:'00:0a:95:9d:68:16', token:'{{authtoken}}'});To stop listening for updates for a device, simply unregister from the device:
socket.emit('unregister', '00:0a:95:9d:68:16');-
