Managing a concentrator
Referencing embedded nodes is only one part of managing a concentrator. While the preceding interfaces might be sufficient for interacting with small devices with a fixed number of embedded nodes, there are many cases where management of embedded devices is required.
The Waher.Networking.XMPP.Concentrator and .UWP NuGet packages define a ConcentratorClient and ConcentratorServer class that will help you with these tasks. They will help with:
- Management and discovery of data sources
- Management of nodes in data sources, including browsing, searching, updating, adding, and removing embedded nodes, including large sets of nodes
- Access management
- Execution of commands and queries
- Management of sensor data databases
All concentrator functions are optional, and the concentrator can choose which features to support. This allows the interface to support very simple concentrators (such as PLCs), medium-sized concentrators (such as bridges), and large concentrators (such as backend...
