Understanding Datapoints
Time Stamped Payloads
In the Zoho IoT application, data extracted from incoming payloads is stored as time-series data in a datapoint. By default, the timestamp assigned to each record is the exact time at which the application receives the message. For example, if the ...
Datapoint import conflicts
While associating a device product to a device model, you may encounter issues and warnings due to conflicts in datapoints. Associating multiple device products to the same model comes with limitations based on the datapoints involved. Below are some ...
Understanding Previous Value Function
A key function in creating a realtime datapoint with computation is the previous value function. This function allows you to utilize the last stored value in the datapoint time series, allowing the computation of delta values. When a realtime ...
Understanding Datapoint Data Type
In Zoho IoT applications, a datapoint can extract and store values in several data types, as listed below: Numeric String Boolean Enumerated Location Numeric: This data type represents numerical values, which can include integers and floating-point ...
Understanding Datapoint Groups
In Zoho IoT applications, Datapoint Group is a collection of various datapoint templates tailored for specific use cases. These templates serve as a predefined set of metrics or measurements that are relevant to the particular application or ...
Understanding Parsing Keys and Payload Formats
Parsing keys act as identifiers in datapoint configuration. Consider the Shelly H&T smart sensor, which monitors a room's temperature and humidity. The sensor sends data in JSON format as below: In the Zoho IOT application, you'll use the parsing key ...
Understanding Expression Builder for Datapoints
Expression builders are used to create expression for computing values based on a set of available datapoints, fields, or constants and storing them as realtime or scheduled KPI datapoints. Note: Expression builder is made available for Realtime ...
Understand Scheduled KPI Datapoints
Scheduled KPI datapoints are computed values based on expressions, with datapoint values from the same model, related models, and field configured for the model, aggregated using a function over a period. These expressions are executed at defined ...
Understanding Datapoints
Datapoint is a unique time series data represented as a time stamped key- value pair, and is available for assets, devices, and locations in the Zoho IoT application. It is the source of data for other features in the application and is vital in ...
