==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
 
 
Method - POST
 
 
URL - /inventory/managedObjects
 
 
Content Type - application/json
 
 
Accept - application/json
 
 
Placeholder - %%
 
 
Params - STRING STRING
 
 
Template - JSON
 
 
 
 
Type – requests are identified by a number 10
 
 
Code – request code number, each request must contain unique number
 
 
Method – HTTP method of request
 
 
URL – URL that will be used in request
 
 
Content Type – it is Content-Type header field value
 
 
Accept – it is Accept header field value, mostly equal to Content Type
 
 
Placeholder  - string which will be replaced in URL or Template JSON
 
 
Params – what kind of params are replaced, JSON template contains two strings
 
 
Template – JSON template which will be sent
 
 
 
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
 
 
Code – response code, each response must contain unique number
 
 
Cond – JSON path base pointing to an object or object list from which values are
 
extracted
 
 
Value… - JSON values
 
 
Take a look for more information about templates: https://www.cumulocity.com/guides/reference/smartrest.
 
 
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.
 
 
For more information about Lua API, download Cumulocity C++ SDK: https://bitbucket.org/m2m/cumulocity-sdk-c/downloads and look up inside „sdk/doc/lua.html“ with a browser.

Networking rut telekom logo.png

Telekom Cloud of Things is now compatible with Teltonika RUT routers.

Description

The Cloud of Things is cloud platform for the Internet of Things. It allows you to remotely monitor, manage and control your connected devices and machines – plug-and-play, without extensive installation.

Summary

This example application streams some information from the router device. Once it is enabled you should be able to the following things in Cloud of Things Cockpit the following information from your router:

Device Model, Revision and Serial Number

Mobile Cell ID, ICCID, IMEI, Connection Type, Operator, Signal Strength

WAN Type and IP

Mobile and WAN information are sent from “stream” Lua script, while Device information - from stream application. This information (except Device) is being sent to the main Cumulocity server continuously: at 10 seconds interval.


????????????????????????????????

Creating an account

First of all, you need to create an account. After registration, you will receive free 60 days Cloud of Things trial. Registration form can be found here: https://support.ram.m2m.telekom.com/apps/demotenant/index.html#/ . Below you can see registration form:
