After successful device registration, there is one more thing that you need to do in order to start monitoring your equipment. Find your router at '''All devices''' page. Then simply press the name of the item and you will be forwarded to the info window.
   −
And then click „Add widget“:
+
[[Image:Cloud of things adding device 9.png]]
   −
[[File:cumaddwidget.png]]
+
Here you will need to set the '''Required interval'''. This parameter defines how often you expect to hear from the device. If, for example, you set the required interval to 60, you expect the device at least to communicate once in an hour with Cloud of Things. RUT device sends data to the server every 10sec.
   −
Select „Asset properties“ widget and type title, then select „TLT-RUT955 Router“ in „Target Assets or Devices“:

==Explanation of example application==
  −
There are two steps when adding new properties:
  −
 
  −
1. Writing template
  −
 
  −
2. Writing lua script which will stream information.
  −
 
  −
By default, template location inside router is „/usr/lib/lua/cm/srtemplate.txt“. It contains such content:
  −
 
  −
  rut955-v0.01
  −
 
  −
  10,100,GET,/identity/externalIds/SerialNumber/%%,,application/json,%%,STRING,
  −
 
  −
<nowiki>  10,101,POST,/inventory/managedObjects,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING,"{""name"":""%%"",""c8y_IsDevice"":{},""com_cumulocity_model_Agent"":{}}"</nowiki>
  −
 
  −
  10,102,POST,/identity/globalIds/%%/externalIds,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING STRING,"{""externalId"":""%%"",""type"":""SerialNumber""}"
  −
 
  −
  10,103,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING,"{""name"": ""%%"", ""type"": ""%%""}"
  −
 
  −
<nowiki>  10,104,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING STRING,"{""c8y_Hardware"":  {""model"":""%%"",""revision"":""%%"",""serialNumber"":""%%""}}"</nowiki>
  −
 
  −
  10,105,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING STRING STRING STRING STRING,"{""c8y_Mobile"":  {""imei"":""%%"",""cellId"":""%%"",""iccid"":""%%"",""connType"":""%%"",""currentOperat  or"":""%%""},""signal"":""%%""}"
  −
 
  −
<nowiki>  10,106,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING,"{""c8y_Network"":{""c8y_WAN"":{""ip"":""%%""}},""wanType"":""%%""}"</nowiki>
  −
 
  −
  10,107,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,UNSIGNED STRING,"{""c8y_SupportedOperations"":[""%%""]}"
  −
 
  −
  10,108,PUT,/devicecontrol/operations/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,UNSIGNED    STRING,"{""status"":""%%""}"
  −
 
  −
  11,500,$.managedObject,,$.id
  −
  11,501,,$.c8y_IsDevice,$.id
  −
  11,502,,$.c8y_Restart,$.id,$.deviceId
  −
 
  −
First line contains template version. In this case it is „rut955-v0.01“.
  −
 
  −
When template is updated, version must be updated aswell, otherwise device will use non-updated template version.
  −
 
  −
The following lines contains requests starting with a number „10“ and responses - starting with a number „11“. Now explanation of request:
  −
 
  −
Type - 10
  −
 
  −
Code - 101
  −
 
  −

  −
 
  −
Params – what kind of params are replaced, JSON template contains two strings
  −
 
  −

  −
 
  −
 
  −
Explanation of response:
  −
 
  −
Type - 11
  −
 
  −
Code - 502
  −
 
  −
Cond - <none>
  −
 
  −
Value 1 - $.c8y_Restart
  −
 
  −
Value 2 - $.id
  −
 
  −
Value3 - $.deviceId
  −
 
  −
 
  −
Type – responses are identified by a number 11
  −
 
  −

  −
Now explanation of logic inside lua script. By default, example application’s lua script location is „/usr/bin/lua/cm“. Application will scan this folder for any *.lua files and load them if they contains „init“ function.  Script’s „stream.lua“ content:
  −
 
  −
  -- stream.lua
  −
  local utl = require "luci.util"
  −
  local sys = require "luci.sys"
  −
  local DEVICE_NAME = 'TLT-RUT955 Router'
  −
  local DEVICE_TYPE = 'Router'
  −
 
  −
  function restart(r)
  −
      local deviceId = r:value(2)
  −
      c8y:send('108,'..deviceId..',SUCCESSFUL')
  −
      sys.exec("reboot")
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
  function init()
  −
      srInfo('*** Stream Init ***')
  −
      -- set device name and type
  −
      c8y:send('103,'..c8y.ID..','..DEVICE_NAME..','..DEVICE_TYPE)
  −
      -- set restart as supported operation
  −
      c8y:send('107,'..c8y.ID..',c8y_Restart')
  −
      -- set imei, cellid and iccid first time
  −
      mobileDataStream()
  −
      -- create timer which will stream mobile info data
  −
      local m_timer = c8y:addTimer(10 * 1000, 'mobileDataStream')
  −
      m_timer:start() 
  −
      -- register restart handler
  −
      c8y:addMsgHandler(502, 'restart')
  −
      return 0
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
  function mobileDataStream()
  −
      local imei = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -i"))
  −
      local cell = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -C"))
  −
      local icc = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -J"))
  −
      local type = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -t"))
  −
      local oper = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -o"))
  −
      local sign = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -q"))..' dBm'
  −
      local req = '105,'..c8y.ID
  −
      req = req..','..imei
  −
      req = req..','..cell
  −
      req = req..','..icc
  −
      req = req..','..type
  −
      req = req..','..oper
  −
      req = req..','..sign
  −
      -- send mobile info
  −
      c8y:send(req)
  −
      local wantype = utl.trim(sys.exec("uci get -q network.wan.ifname"))
  −
      local wanip = utl.trim(sys.exec("curl -s http://whatismyip.akamai.com"))
  −
      -- send wan info
  −
      c8y:send('106,'..c8y.ID..','..wanip..','..wantype)
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
 
  −
Once application finds lua script, it will call „init“ function. This is where all initialization of timers and other stuff should be.
  −
 
  −
Sending information is quite simple:
  −
 
  −
  c8y:send('103,'..c8y.ID..','..DEVICE_NAME..','..DEVICE_TYPE)
  −
 
  −
By using „c8y:send“ function, first string contains request code, which was defined in the template, earlier. Then comma must appear after each value. The above line shows how we update device name and device type with our own.
  −
