Naming Convention
The connector uses the following naming convention for its entities:
A connector entity in the FastyBird IoT ecosystem refers to an entity that manages communication with Virtual devices. It needs to be configured for a specific device interface.
A device is an abstract entity that represents a virtual device. Each virtual device have to extend this basic abstract entity.
A thermostat type in the FastyBird IoT ecosystem refers to a preconfigured entity which is representing software thermostat device.
Chanel is a universal entity which could represent logical part of a virtual device.
A property in the FastyBird IoT ecosystem refers to a entity which is holding configuration values or device actual state. Connector, Device and Channel entity has own Property entities.
Connector related properties are used to store connector state.
Device related properties are used to store basic device information like manufacturer (could be a developer or company
name), mac address or mode. What type of value is store in device's property depends on developer.
Channel properties typically serve as repositories for storing the current state of a device. For example, a thermostat device may store properties such as temperature and actor state within a channel.
