This addon allows to use a device in order to input data to odoo
automatically.
It opens a URL that a device can use to connect (with a password) that
can only execute an specific action.
Inputs are useful when a device wants to communicate to odoo for a
single and simple action. This way, the device does not need to be
configured with a odoo user and password, it is handled by odoo devices.
There are two endpoints you can use: Endpoint 1: /iot/<serial>/action
Takes application/x-www-form-urlencoded parameters: passphase, value
(where value is a JSON object)
- Create a Device on IoT > Config Devices
- Access the Inputs section of the device
- Create an input. You must define a serial, passphrase, function and
model
The function that the system will call must be of the following kind:
@api.model
def call_function(self, key):
return {}
Where key is the input string send by the device and the result must be
a dictionary that will be responded to the device as a JSON.
Endpoint 2: /iot/<device_identification>/multi_input It can be used to
send values with multiple data in one POST request such as: - Values for
inputs of the same device with different address (multi input) - Values
for inputs of the same device with same address, different values (multi
event) - Mix of the above (multi input, multi event)
Takes application/x-www-form-urlencoded parameters: passphase, values (a
JSON array of JSON objects)
It is called using device_identification and passing two POST
parameters: device passphrase and a JSON string containing an array of
values for input - The value for the address key can be a string or a
numeric (to conserve bytes in memory restricted devices when creating
the JSON object) and is converted to string when parsing. - The value
for the value key can either be string, number or boolean according to
JSON specs. You can see an example of a valid JSON input object in the
examples folder, using a few combinations.
It requires the function that the system will call must be of the
following kind:
@api.model
def call_function(self, key):
'do something
if err:
return {'status': 'error', 'message': 'The error message you want to send to the device'}
return {'status': 'ok', 'message': 'Optional success message'}
Where key is a dict send by the device having at least value for keys:
‘address’, ‘value’
The function must always return a JSON with status and message. If value
contains a value with ‘uuid’ as key, it is returned along with the
object for the IoT device to identify success/failure per record.
It has full error reporting and the return value is a JSON array of
dicts containing at least status and message. Error message respose is
at some points generic, though extended logging is done in Odoo server
logs.
