The Device Simulator app simulates data input into Eliona.
This guide provides instructions on configuring, installing and using the Device Simulator app.
Install the Device Simulator app via the Eliona App Store.
The Device Simulator app requires configuration through Eliona’s settings interface. Below are the general steps and details needed to configure the app.
Generators can be created in Eliona under Apps > Device Simulator > Settings which opens the app's Generic Frontend. Here you can use the endpoint /generators with the POST method. Each generator requires the following data:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Example generator JSON:
asset_id
ID of the asset being simulated.
attribute
Attribute name of the data being generated.
subtype
Subtype of the data being generated (e.g., "input").
function_type
Type of function for data generation (e.g., "sin_wave", "random", "sawtooth_wave").
min_value
Minimum value for the generated data.
max_value
Maximum value for the generated data.
integer
Specifies if the generated value should be an integer or float. (true for integer, false for float).
interval_seconds
Interval in seconds for data generation. (Sampling rate) (How often should the new data be generated?)
frequency
Frequency in Hz for wave functions. (How often the function should reach the original value per second?) (typically less than 1) (Must not be higher than 1/(2*interval_seconds) to avoid aliasing / Nyquist frequency)
