Signal Composer API

subscribe/unsubscribe

Using subscribe you can get update on change for signals you chose and you can using wildcard to subscribe several signals in the same time.

signal-composer subscribe {"signal": "rear_left*"}
ON-REPLY 1:signal-composer/subscribe: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","uuid":"3d4b743b-7ac6-4d3c-8fce-721107f9dee5"}}

Then event comes up like the following:

ON-EVENT signal-composer/257b343e-8ea9-4cd7-8f9e-1904fa77f8f2({"event":"signal-composer\/257b343e-8ea9-4cd7-8f9e-1904fa77f8f2","data":{"uid":"rear_left_door","event":"low-can\/messages.doors.rear_left.open","timestamp":4833910845032292484,"value":false},"jtype":"afb-event"})

Unsubscribe happens the same way. When no more signals are holded by the client then it unsubscribe from the AGL Application Framework event handle.

addObjects

Let you add sources or signals objects to the signal composer service after its initialization phase. Use this verb and specify the file as argument, you could use only the file name or the file name with its absolute path.

signal-composer addObjects {"file": "sig_doors.json"}
ON-REPLY 1:signal-composer/addObjects: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","uuid":"00d7a519-816e-486a-8163-3afb1face4fa"}}
signal-composer addObjects {"file": "/tmp/sig_doors.json"}
ON-REPLY 2:signal-composer/addObjects: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"}}

You can follow the activity using the service log journal and check that the correct number of objects has been added.

CAUTION: You need to get the following permission to be able to load new objects : urn:AGL:permission::platform:composer:addObjects

get

You can get a signal value be requesting the API with the verb get:

signal-composer get {"signal": "vehicle_speed", "options": {"average": 10}}
signal-composer get {"signal": "vehicle_speed", "options": {"minimum": 10}}
signal-composer get {"signal": "vehicle_speed", "options": {"maximum": 10}}
signal-composer get {"signal": "vehicle_speed"}

You apply some simple mathematical functions by default present in the binding, by default last is used:

  • average: make an average on X latest seconds.
  • minimum: return the minimum value found in the X latest seconds.
  • maximum: return the maximum value found in the X latest seconds.
  • last: return the latest value.
