A cell phone and/or tablet app will be created that can register an Edge Node (Scenario One A) or Edge Device (Scenario Two), onboard that device to an Open Horizon exchange running on a farm gateway machine (Scenario One C), and configure that node or device. Additionally, it should be able to re-configure an already-onboarded node or device. It should also be able to decommission a node or device (unregister).
Goals
- Scan a QR code or similar to identify Edge Device type, capabilities, optionally purpose
- Connect device to software running on a specific local Edge Node
- Specify the Edge Device purpose through properties and constraints
- On-board the Edge Device to enable data collection and set up actions/triggers and events
- Enable person to re-configure an existing (already on-boarded and functioning) Edge Device
- Enable person to de-commission and un-register an Edge Device
Background and strategic fit
Link to arch design of mimik edgeEngine/Open Horizon integration.
Assumptions
- An Edge Node already exists an contains a registered Agent and a workload for managing Edge Devices
- A QR code or similar has been created with the required information and attached to the Edge Device
