Configuration API Service — Creating a Device

To create a device via the Configuration API service, only a minimum set of properties are required; all others are set to the default value. The specific properties are dependent on the protocol or driver selected.

 

Using a REST-based API tool such as Postman, Insomnia, or Curl; make a POST request to the device endpoint under a channel.

 

The example below will create a device named Device1 under Channel1 that uses the Simulator driver on a server running on the local host.

 

Endpoint (POST):

https://<hostname_or_ip>:<port>/config/v1/project/channels/Channel1/devices

Body:

{  “common.ALLTYPES_NAME”: “Device1”,  “servermain.MULTIPLE_TYPES_DEVICE_DRIVER”: “Simulator”}
