Creates a virtual device to send data point values to the Sensaru cloud.

Requirements

The node requires homegear-cloudconnect to be installed and fully configured.

Details

cloud-device creates a virtual device. This device is uploaded to the Sensaru cloud with the configured data points. Every data point update sent to one of the inputs is sent to the cloud.

Service messages

If an input has a service role set, setting this input to true generates a service message within the Sensaru cloud. The service message is removed, when the input is set to false again.

In addition there is always an offline data point and service message. Both are triggered when no input is updated for the time specified in the property Offline timeout.
