Request properties
Your POST request should contain three things to be valid: "license", "blob" and "config"
Modes
Energy:
{
"config": {
"viewPlugin": {
"plugin": {
"meterPlugin": {
"scanMode": "MyEnergyScanMode"
}
}
}
}
}The Energy scanMode property can be one of the following:
Mode |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AUTO_ANALOG_DIGITAL_METER mode will automatically detect if it’s
an analog or a digital meter. The AUTO_ANALOG_DIGITAL_DIAL_METER mode
will automatically detect if it’s an analog, digital or dial meter.
This use-case is optimised for EMEA countries.
|
The ANALOG_DIGITAL_SNR_BAR mode will automatically detect if it’s
an analog or a digital meter and also scan the serial number and barcode of the meter, if they are present.
|
Using the ANALOG_DIGITAL_SNR_BAR mode, the meter is identified by its
barcode or serial number. This use-case is optimised for APAC countries.
|
When scanning serial numbers with the ANALOG_DIGITAL_SNR_BAR mode, only digits and the letters C, D, N, P, S and T are supported at the moment.
