Discovery

Automatic device discovery in the context of IoT (Internet of Things) streamlines the process by which IoT devices seamlessly join a management system (like Iotic) without manual intervention. This system ensures easy detection of devices and device changes and contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability. With plug-and-play functionality and centralized monitoring, automatic device discovery simplifies the integration and management of devices within the Iotic ecosystem. Iotic dynamically identifies and updates its inventory in real-time.

Modbus Discovery

Iotic has a built-in modbus device discovery. This process involves a focused port scan within the same IPv4 subnet of an Iotic instance by probing devices for open port 502, commonly associated with Modbus communication.

SunSpec Discovery

SunSpec discovery builds upon Modbus discovery by specifically targeting SunSpec information models within the Modbus protocol. By honing in on SunSpec data structures, Iotic identifies and integrates devices adhering to SunSpec standards for renewable energy, offering a more nuanced and comprehensive approach to recognition and integration within the Iotic ecosystem.

HTTP Discovery

This discovery automates the identification and accessibility of HTTP-based services within a network, considering that certain IoT devices, including go-eChargers, utilize this protocol. This method allows devices hosting such services to broadcast their presence.

Things

In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), everyday objects and devices are interconnected, enabling them to communicate and share data over a network. This connectivity allows for seamless integration and automation, enhancing efficiency and convenience in various aspects of life. From smart homes with connected thermostats and applications like optimizing energy production and monitoring performance in photovoltaic systems, the IoT revolutionizes how we interact with and manage the physical world through the power of interconnected technology.

Properties

In the context of an IoT device or thing, “properties” refer to the characteristics, attributes, or data points associated with that device. Properties provide information about the state, behavior, or configuration of an IoT device, allowing users and other systems to interact with and monitor the device effectively.
