IoT device management

Bring field devices onto one thing model

Chargers, meters, breakers, storage and environment sensors come online on their own protocols and register as one set of records on MeetCarbon Cloud. Business apps read state and send commands through the same API. Protocol differences stay in the foundation.

Path

Devices come in. Apps use one description

Protocols are decoded in the foundation. Charging, energy management and PV see the same devices, properties and commands.

  1. 01

    Devices online

    Chargers, meters, breakers, storage and sensors connect the way the site already works.

    Field
  2. 02

    Protocol adapt

    Charger TCP, meter and device MQTT, and Modbus become one message shape.

    3 protocols
  3. 03

    Thing model

    Properties, services and events follow the product template. Devices of one type share it.

    Apps consume

    Business apps read state and send commands through one API, without their own protocol work.

Scope

The foundation runs devices, not the business ledger

Records, thing models, protocols, rules, alarms and lab devices live here. Orders, energy analytics and generation revenue stay in their own products.

Devices and groups

Register devices once, then view online state by site, tag and group.

Records, import and exportOnline and offlineGroups and tags

Products and thing models

Define the product first, then attach devices. Properties, services and events reuse the template.

Products and categoriesProperty / service / eventModels share a template

Protocols and platforms

Built-in protocols register themselves. Devices on an existing platform can sync and map to a product.

Registry and discoveryPlatform syncAuto or manual mapping

Rules engine

When a device event matches a condition, run an action. Scheduled jobs are included.

Event listenConditions and actionsSchedules

Alarms and notify

Offline and limit alarms are recorded in one place and sent on the channels you configure.

Rules and historyEmailWeCom / DingTalk

Virtual devices

Before hardware arrives, simulate reports and commands to prove the protocol.

Protocol labSimulated uplinkCommand replay
Thing model

Properties, services, events. Apps use these three

When the protocol or the model changes, update the mapping in the foundation. Apps keep the same description.

Properties

Read current state. Values carry the units defined on the product, ready for business apps.

Active powerVoltageOnline

Services

Send an action. Calls go through one control API. The foundation translates the protocol.

Start / stopPush settingsPoll

Events

The device reports a change. Rules and alarms fire on events, without polling each protocol.

Over limitOfflineState change

Once the product template is set, devices of that model share it. A new unit is attached to the product.

Who uses it

Records, operations, products and labs each have a view

Four roles share the same device records and open different pages.

The question for the day

Which devices are online, and which group holds the offline ones?

Boundary

The foundation stops at the device. Ledgers stay in each product

IoT device management covers onboarding, records, collection, control, rules and alarms. Operations and analytics stay in the products already on the site.

The foundation

  • Register, discover, authenticate, online and offline
  • Products, categories and thing models
  • Protocol registry, platform sync and device mapping
  • Property read/write, service calls and config push
  • Rules, alarm history and notification channels
  • Virtual devices and protocol labs
FAQ

Align these before connecting a site

How do IoT device management and energy management split the work?

IoT brings meters, chargers and other devices online and keeps records, thing models and control. Energy management runs usage, analytics and reports. Meter readings are collected in the foundation and accounted in the energy product.

The site already uses a vendor platform. Can we still connect?

Yes. Devices can connect over TCP, MQTT or Modbus, or sync from an existing platform. Before a project we review the point list or API document and estimate the approach and schedule.

How does a new protocol get on?

It is registered in the foundation and mapped to a product thing model. Send the protocol note or point list and we estimate the work. Business apps keep calling the same control API.

There is no hardware on site yet. Can we still see the product?

Yes. Virtual devices simulate uplink and commands, so a protocol lab and a demo do not wait for hardware. Tell us the device types when you book.

Do alarms become maintenance work orders here?

The foundation records alarms and notifies the channels you set. Work orders, inspections and maintenance close in Smart O&M. Linking an alarm into operations is scoped per project.
