Hello and welcome to Visup Things5 documentation

Things5

Things5 is the IoT Analytics platform from Visup that lets you manage your fleet of connected devices. Some of the functions of the web platform, which can be found at app.things5.digital, are also available via API.

What can I do with Things5 API?

HTTP API

With T5 HTTP Platform API you can access to a number of functions:

• Retrieve general info about a specific device (see Device details)
• Send data from a device to the platform (see Data ingestion)
• Read trend of metrics, like speed or temperature from a specific device (see Metrics read)
• Read state changes, like door open or cooling cycle from a specific device (see States read)
• Read events, like pressure alarm or low power alert from a specific device (see Events read)

These APIs are suitable for a cloud-2-cloud communication.

MQTT API

Through T5 MQTT API you can access to a number of functions:

• Send data / telemetries from a device to the platform
• Read device parameter configuration
• Write device parameters directly onto the device
• Update firmware on your device
• Read recipes for a single device
• Write recipes for a single device
  NOTE: max payload size is 128KB

The MQTT APIs are currently only available for device level communication and thus not suitable for a realtime cloud-2-cloud data exchange.
