Examples of Request Message Parameters (RESTful)

Example 1

Field	Input
Parameter Name	`device`
Parameter Type	`string`
Value	`ABF3209`
Input Variable	Checkbox not selected

Result: With each request, PCo sends a parameter (fixed value) with the name device and the value ABF3209.

Example 2

Field	Input
Parameter Name	`sensor`
Parameter Type	`string`
Value	`sensorID`
Input Variable	Checkbox selected

Result: With each request, PCo sends a parameter (variable) with the name sensor. The value of this variable is filled dynamically using the mapping in the notification. In the notification, the field has the name sensorID.

Example 3

Field	Input
Parameter Name	`message[0].measurementvalue`
Parameter Type	`string`
Value	`measurementvalue`
Input Variable	Checkbox selected

Field	Input
Parameter Name	`message[0].unit`
Parameter Type	`string`
Value	`unit`
Input Variable	Checkbox selected

Result: We have now created a static array with only one entry. This entry consists of two lower-level entries:

Measured value
Unit

In the case of JSON, the array would look like this:

"message":[{"measurementvalue":"<value>", "unit":"<unit>"}]
