Device lifecycle methods
Introduction
Once the adapter has been onboarded, devices will then go through their lifecycle. This is needed so that IMPACT can manage the connected applications effectively.
If the device has been added by the application an
AddEndpointRequest
notification
will be received by the Adapter when this
occurs.
When the devices first connects to the platform the
register
method is received,
which indicates the data elements that are
supported. At this point Data Collection and Device
Management can be performed.
The Adapter can change the data elements it supports by
re-sending an update
method.
If the Adapter detects that the device becomes no longer
available a deregister
method is
sent. At this point it is not possible to perform
Device Management and Data Collection.
If the device was added via the Application, the Application
can send a
DeleteEndPointRequest
.
