Configuration API are used to allow Things5 users to read and write configuration parameters (like set-points, durations, ...) from the device.
The other way around is also possible: the device can let Things5 know when parameters have changed using [Pub]Variables changed request
When the user goes to Device>Configuration the [Sub] Parameters read request will be sent to the device. When the user set his new parameters from the UI, the [Sub] Parameters write request will be sent to the device.
The main parameters of the communication are:
| field | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| name | string | name of the variable |
| type | string | variable type. Value can be "string", "integer", "float" |
