Lots
|
|
####
|
|
|
|
Lots are folders that contain devices and other lots, and can be
|
|
at the same time under several lots.
|
|
|
|
`Here <https://www.bustawin.com/
|
|
dags-with-materialized-paths-using-postgres-ltree/>`_ you have
|
|
a low-level technical implementation of how lots and their
|
|
relationships are mapped.
|
|
|
|
Create lots
|
|
***********
|
|
You create a lot by ``POST /lots/`` a `JSON Lot object <https://
|
|
app.swaggerhub.com/apis/ereuse/devicehub/0.2/#model-Lot>`_.
|
|
|
|
Adding / removing children
|
|
**************************
|
|
You can add lots to a lot by performing
|
|
``POST /lots/<parent-lot-id>/children/?id=<child-lot-1>&id=<child-lot-2>``.
|
|
Note that all lots must exist before. The **parent** lot is the
|
|
lot containing the **children** lots without any intermediate lot.
|
|
|
|
To remove children lots the idea is the same:
|
|
``DELETE /lots/<parent-lot-id>/children/?id=<child-lot-1>&id=<child-lot-2>``.
|
|
|
|
And for devices is all the same:
|
|
``POST /lots/<parent-lot-id>/devices/?id=<device-id-1>&id=<device-id-2>``;
|
|
idem for removing devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sharing lots
|
|
************
|
|
Sharing a lot means giving certain permissions to users, like reading
|
|
the characteristics of devices, or performing certain events.
|
|
|
|
Linking lots
|
|
============
|
|
Linking lots means setting a reference to a lot in another Devicehub
|
|
which supposedly have the same devices. One of both lots is considered
|
|
to be the outgoing lot and the other one the ingoing, in the sense
|
|
that the lifetime of the devices of the outgoing lot precedes the
|
|
incoming lot; in other way, the events of the devices in the outgoing
|
|
lot should (but not enforced) happen before that the events in the
|
|
incoming lot.
|
|
|
|
The lot has two fields that uses to keep a link: the Devicehub URL and
|
|
the ID of the other lot (internal ID I suppose...).
|
|
|
|
A device can only be in one incoming lot and in one outgoing lot.
|
|
|
|
A device inside a linked lot, when it is confirmed the existence of
|
|
an equal device in the other DB, is considered to be linked.
|
|
|
|
A linked lot defines a both way share of READ Characteristics, at
|
|
least.
|
|
|
|
Users can sync the characteristics of devices + selected tags + selected rules,
|
|
copying (but not deleting) devices between them. This ensures no
|
|
traceability warnings when generating the lifetime of devices. In first
|
|
iterations this process could be done manually (to allow user select
|
|
tags and rules)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why linking lots
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* Get the lifetime of devices (reporting). This way a Devicehub
|
|
traverses the linked devices (as long as it has perm).
|
|
* Send devices to another Devicehub (characteristics).
|
|
* Ensure rules over linked devices.
