Thingdust

Eliona App for Thingdust spaces.

Thingdust is a company that offers a sensor-based solution to measure the occupancy of office spaces. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, and occupancy of spaces (e.g., workplaces, rooms) in real time. The Eliona App for Thingdust Spaces allows access to this data and its display within Eliona.

Installation

The Thingdust app is installed via the App Store in Eliona.

Assets

The Thingdust app automatically creates all necessary asset templates and assets (CAC) that are accessible via the configured endpoints. The following asset templates are created:

• Thingdust Space: A Thingdust space.

The following attributes are defined:

occupancy	Occupancy
temperature	Temperature
humidity	Humidity

Dashboards

The Thingdust app offers a dashboard with all automatically created spaces. This can be automatically created via the Eliona frontend by selecting Copy Dashboard > Thingdust and then customized as desired.

Configuration

More information on configuring apps can be found ↗ here.

The Thingdust app is configured by defining one or more API endpoints. Each endpoint requires the following data.

Attribute Name	Description
apiEndpoint	Address of the endpoint
apiKey	Key for the endpoint
enable	Flag to enable or disable the endpoint
refreshInterval	Interval in seconds for data collection from the endpoint
requestTimeout	Timeout in seconds for the endpoint
active	Is set to true by the app when it is running and to false when the app is stopped
projIds	List of project IDs for which assets are to be created automatically (CAC)

The configuration is done using a corresponding JSON structure. The following JSON structure can be used as an example to define an endpoint.

{
  "configId": 12345,
  "apiEndpoint": "[https://foo.bar.thingdust.io/api/](https://foo.bar.thingdust.io/api/)",
  "apiKey": "FOOBARFOOBAR",
  "enable": true,
  "refreshInterval": 60,
  "requestTimeout": 120,
  "projIds": ["99"]
}

Endpoints can be created in Eliona under Apps > Thingdust > Setting using this structure. To do this, select the /configs endpoint with the PUT method.
