1.1 Relations to other extensions

Even though there are technologies available in forms of XEPs that solve parts of the above mentioned problem, they do not provide sufficient support. The following paragraphs will take the time to list why different technologies are not applicable.

1.1.1 XEP-0060

This XEP defines tree structures for nodes in different data sources. Publish-Subscribe (XEP-0060) [6] defines a model where a tree structure of nodes is published and users can browse this tree structure. Furthermore, it allows the possibility to publish items on these nodes as well as syndication of this information.

This XEP also defines data sources (in a tree structure). These data sources contain nodes. PubSub Collection Nodes (XEP-0248) [7] defines a structure called a node collection, a structure that allows the creation of collections containing loosely coupled nodes.

Even though this document defines tree structures of data, it is not however based on XEP-0060. There are multiple reasons for this:

The structures defined in this specification do not include items to publish for each node.
We want to be able to use XEP-0060 in parallel to this specification, for the purpose of publishing sensor data. More information about this is found in xep-0000-IoT-PubSub.html.
For massive systems (hundreds of thousands, or millions, of nodes behind a concentrator, its vitally important to be able to manage sets of nodes directly (for example: Edit multiple nodes at once). Many of the operations in XEP-0060 only allow for operations of singular nodes. Furthermore, many simple operations require multiple messages per node. This document defines way to operate of sets of nodes simultaneously, as well as ways to perform operations with a smaller number of operations.
In this document, nodes have specific functions, controlled by a specific Node Type. Different Node Types have different parameter sets, different options, commands, capabilities, etc. XEP-0060 does not differ between node types. There, nodes are only a structural way to sort data into a tree graph.
In this document, nodes have real-time status, like errors, warnings, etc.

1.1.2 XEP-0248

XEP-0248 defines the concept of node collections and syndication of information from nodes in these collections. But XEP-0248 is not used in this specification. There are multiple reasons:

We want to be able to use XEP-0248 in parallel to this specification, for the purpose of publishing sensor data. More information about this is found in xep-0000-IoT-PubSub.html.
Node IDs are not necessarily unique by themselves in the system. This document defines a uniqueness concept based on a triple of data: (Data Source ID, Cache Type, Node ID). This means that Nodes must have IDs unique within a given Cache Type, within a given data source.
We need to expand on types of events generated from a data source, to make them adhere to the particulars of nodes as defined in this specification.
Data sources own their nodes. XEP-0248 define a loosely coupled structure with references to nodes. In this document, a data source is the owner of all nodes contained in it.

1.1.3 XEP-0050

Ad-Hoc Commands (XEP-0050) [8] defines how ad-hoc commands can be implemented and how clients can use such commands to interact with underlying logic. But XEP-0050 is not used in this specification. There are multiple reasons:

We want to be able to use XEP-0050 for other types of commands, than commands defined in this specification. Generally, XEP-0050 is used to implement system-wide commands.
Commands defined in this specification are context sensitive, i.e. they depend on the type of node and the context of the node on which the act.
It is a requirement to be able to execute commands on sets of nodes directly.
Since commands have to be context sensitive, a large concentrator system may have hundreds or thousands of different commands, making it impossible to create context sensitive GUI's using XEP-0050.
Dialog types used for Ad-Hoc-commands are not sufficient. First, dynamic dialogs are required in the general case. (XEP-0326 define how to create dynamic forms.) Furthermore, the wizard style type of dialogs used for more complex dialogs in ad-hoc commands, are difficult to automate.

Actuator: Device containing at least one configurable property or output that can and should be controlled by some other entity or device.
Computed Value: A value that is computed instead of measured.
Concentrator: Device managing a set of devices which it publishes on the XMPP network.
Data Source: A Data source contains a collection of nodes. Three types of data sources exist: Singular, Flat and Tree. Singular data sources only include one object. Flat data sources contain a list of objects and Tree data sources contain nodes formed as a tree graph with one root element.
Field: One item of sensor data. Contains information about: Node, Field Name, Value, Precision, Unit, Value Type, Status, Timestamp, Localization information, etc. Fields should be unique within the triple (Node ID, Field Name, Timestamp).
Field Name: Name of a field of sensor data. Examples: Energy, Volume, Flow, Power, etc.
Field Type: What type of value the field represents. Examples: Momentary Value, Status Value, Identification Value, Calculated Value, Peak Value, Historical Value, etc.
Historical Value: A value stored in memory from a previous timestamp.
Identification Value: A value that can be used for identification. (Serial numbers, meter IDs, locations, names, etc.)
Localization information: Optional information for a field, allowing the sensor to control how the information should be presented to human viewers.
Meter: A device possible containing multiple sensors, used in metering applications. Examples: Electricity meter, Water Meter, Heat Meter, Cooling Meter, etc.
Momentary Value: A momentary value represents a value measured at the time of the read-out.
Node: Graphs contain nodes and edges between nodes. In Internet of Things, sensors, actuators, meters, devices, gateways, etc., are often depicted as nodes whereas links between sensors (friendships) are depicted as edges. In abstract terms, it's easier to talk about a Node, rather than list different possible node types (sensors, actuators, meters, devices, gateways, etc.). Each Node has a Node ID. Nodes belong to a data source, and all nodes have a Node Type. Some nodes have a parent node, and some nodes have child nodes. Nodes with the same parent nodes a called sibling nodes.
Node ID: An ID uniquely identifying a node within its corresponding context. If a globally unique ID is desired, an architecture should be used using a universally accepted ID scheme.
Node Type: Each node has a Node Type. The Node Type defines the functionality of the node in the system.
Parameter: Readable and/or writable property on a node/device. The XEP-0326 Internet of Things - Concentrators (XEP-0326) [9] deals with reading and writing parameters on nodes/devices. Fields are not parameters, and parameters are not fields.
Peak Value: A maximum or minimum value during a given period.
Precision: In physics, precision determines the number of digits of precision. In sensor networks however, this definition is not easily applicable. Instead, precision determines, for example, the number of decimals of precision, or power of precision. Example: 123.200 MWh contains 3 decimals of precision. All entities parsing and delivering field information in sensor networks should always retain the number of decimals in a message.
Sensor: Device measuring at least one digital value (0 or 1) or analog value (value with precision and physical unit). Examples: Temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc. Sensor values are reported as fields during read-out. Each sensor has a unique Node ID.
SN: Sensor Network. A network consisting, but not limited to sensors, where transport and use of sensor data is of primary concern. A sensor network may contain actuators, network applications, monitors, services, etc.
Status Value: A value displaying status information about something.
Timestamp: Timestamp of value, when the value was sampled or recorded.
Token: A client, device or user can get a token from a provisioning server. These tokens can be included in requests to other entities in the network, so these entities can validate access rights with the provisioning server.
Unit: Physical unit of value. Example: MWh, l/s, etc.
Value: A field value.
Value Status: Status of field value. Contains important status information for Quality of Service purposes. Examples: Ok, Error, Warning, Time Shifted, Missing, Signed, etc.
Value Type: Can be numeric, string, boolean, Date & Time, Time Span or Enumeration.
WSN: Wireless Sensor Network, a sensor network including wireless devices.
XMPP Client: Application connected to an XMPP network, having a JID. Note that sensors, as well as applications requesting sensor data can be XMPP clients.

3.1 Capabilities

3.1.1 Get Capabilities

This document lists a sequence of commands. Some are very basic, while others are used for managing massive amounts of devices. When developing a small PLC, it might be difficult to motivate the implementation of the more advanced commands. They are simply not necessary for the management of the device. So, clients connecting to the concentrator need a way to learn what operations are available in the concentrator, and as a consequence what operations are not. To do this, the getCapabilities command is sent, as is shown in the following example.

Example 1. Full capabilities

   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'

          <value>moveNodeUp</value>
          <value>moveNodeDown</value>
          <value>moveNodesUp</value>

          <value>getDatabaseReadoutParameters</value>
          <value>startDatabaseReadout</value>
      </getCapabilitiesResponse>
   </iq>

A concentrator without databases, but still contain a rich interface for handling masses of nodes may present itself as follows:

Example 2. No database capabilities

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='subsystem@clayster.com'
       id='63'>
      <getCapabilities xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='subsystem@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='63'>

          <value>abortNodeQuery</value>
          <value>getCommonNodeCommands</value>
          <value>getCommonCommandParameters</value>
          <value>executeCommonNodeCommand</value>
          <value>executeCommonNodeQuery</value>
          <value>abortCommonNodeQuery</value>
          <value>moveNodeUp</value>
          <value>moveNodeDown</value>
          <value>moveNodesUp</value>
          <value>moveNodesDown</value>
          <value>subscribe</value>
          <value>unsubscribe</value>
      </getCapabilitiesResponse>
   </iq>

A smaller gateway on the other hand, may have skipped the implementation of the batch commands that are used for larger systems:

Example 3. No batch command capabilities

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='gateway@clayster.com'
       id='2'>
      <getCapabilities xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='gateway@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='2'>
      <getCapabilitiesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <value>getCapabilities</value>
          <value>getAllDataSources</value>
          <value>getRootDataSources</value>
          <value>getChildDataSources</value>
          <value>containsNode</value>
          <value>getNode</value>
          <value>getNodeInheritance</value>
          <value>getRootNodes</value>
          <value>getChildNodes</value>
          <value>getNodeParametersForEdit</value>
          <value>setNodeParametersAfterEdit</value>
          <value>getAddableNodeTypes</value>
          <value>getParametersForNewNode</value>
          <value>createNewNode</value>
          <value>destroyNode</value>
          <value>getAncestors</value>
          <value>getNodeCommands</value>
          <value>getCommandParameters</value>
          <value>executeNodeCommand</value>
          <value>executeNodeQuery</value>
          <value>abortNodeQuery</value>
          <value>moveNodeUp</value>
          <value>moveNodeDown</value>
          <value>moveNodesUp</value>
          <value>moveNodesDown</value>
          <value>subscribe</value>
          <value>unsubscribe</value>
      </getCapabilitiesResponse>
   </iq>

But a small PLC, possibly with a fixed set of nodes, might have support for an even more reduced set of commands:

Example 4. No edit capabilities

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='plc@clayster.com'
       id='3'>
      <getCapabilities xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='plc@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='3'>
      <getCapabilitiesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <value>getCapabilities</value>
          <value>getAllDataSources</value>
          <value>containsNode</value>
          <value>getNode</value>
          <value>getRootNodes</value>
          <value>getChildNodes</value>
          <value>getNodeCommands</value>
          <value>getCommandParameters</value>
          <value>executeNodeCommand</value>
          <value>executeNodeQuery</value>
          <value>abortNodeQuery</value>
      </getCapabilitiesResponse>
   </iq>

So, clients who need to interact with different types of concentrators need to be aware of what commands are supported, and limit operations to those commands.

3.2 Data Sources

3.2.1 Get All Data Sources

This command will return a flat list of all available data sources on the concentrator. It is not structured hierarchically.

Example 5. Get All Data Sources

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='4'>
      <getAllDataSources xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='4'>
      <getAllDataSourcesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <dataSource sourceId='Applications' name='Applications' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='Certificates' name='Certificates' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-02-20T12:31:54'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='Clayster.EventSink.Programmable' name='Programmable Event Log' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2012-10-25T09:31:12'/>
          ...
      </getAllDataSourcesResponse>
   </iq>

3.2.2 Get Root Data Sources

If the client is interested in the hierarchical structure of available data sources, it should request only the root sources, and then ask the client for their corresponding child data sources. If the client wants to present the data sources to a user, presenting them in their hierarchical order may be more intuitive.

Example 6. Get Root Data Sources

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='5'>
      <getRootDataSources xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='5'>
      <getRootDataSourcesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringRoot' name='Metering' hasChildren='true' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='SecurityRoot' name='Security' hasChildren='true' lastChanged='2013-01-12T22:03:50'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='SystemRoot' name='System' hasChildren='true' lastChanged='2012-02-20T12:34:56'/>
          ...
      </getRootDataSourcesResponse>
   </iq>

3.2.3 Get Child Data Sources

Having the ID of a data source that contains child data sources, you can fetch the child sources as follows:

Example 7. Get Child Data Sources

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='6'>
      <getChildDataSources xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringRoot' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='6'>
      <getChildDataSourcesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringFieldImports' name='Field Imports' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' name='Field Processors' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringFieldSinks' name='Field Sinks' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringGroups' name='Groups' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringJobs' name='Jobs' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringTopology' name='Topology' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
          <dataSource sourceId='MeteringUnitConversion' name='Unit Conversion' hasChildren='false' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
      </getChildDataSourcesResponse>
   </iq>

3.2.4 Subscribe to data source events

A client can subscribe to changes made in a data source. It does this by sending the subscribe command to the concentrator, as is shown in the following example:

Example 8. Subscribing to data source events

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='57'>
      <subscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='57'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Multiple subscriptions to the same source will not result in an error, however the server will still only send one event message for each event in the data source.

Important: Event subscriptions only last for as long as the client and concentrator both maintain presence. The concentrator must not persist event notification subscriptions, and if it goes offline and back online, or if the client goes offline or online again for any reason, the event subscription is removed.

Note: The parameters and messages attributes can be used to retrieve parameter and status message information about the nodes in event messages sent from the concentrator. Note that the xml:lang may be used to select the language used in such events, if the concentrator supports localization of strings.

Example 9. Subscribing to data source events with localized parameters

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='60'>
      <subscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' parameters='true' messages='true' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='60'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

The subscribe command has a set of optional attributes, one for each event type available, and with the same names (nodeAdded, nodeUpdated, nodeStatusChanged, nodeRemoved, nodeMovedUp and nodeMovedDown), that the client can use to subscribe to individual events, but not to others. They have the default value of true implying that if not provided, the default action is to subscribe to those events. The attributes parameters and messages can also be used to specify if node parameters and node messages respectively should be available in event messages. The default value for the these later attributes is false, implying that normal events do not include node parameter and node message information.

The following example shows how a client can subscribe to a set of events only:

Example 10. Subscribing to data source events, avoiding state events

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='61'>
      <subscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' parameters='true' messages='false' xml:lang='en'
                 nodeAdded='true' nodeUpdated='true' nodeStatusChanged='false' nodeRemoved='true' nodeMovedUp='false' nodeMovedDown='false'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='61'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

For more information on types of events sent, see the Data Source Events section.

3.2.5 Unsubscribe from data source events

A client can unsubscribe to changes made in a data source it is subscribed to. It does this by sending the unsubscribe command to the concentrator, as is shown in the following example:

Example 11. Unsubscribing from data source events

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='58'>
      <unsubscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='58'>
      <unsubscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

An unsubscription made to an existing data source, but where an event subscription does not exist, must not result in an error.

The unsubscribe command has a set of optional attributes, one for each event type available, and with the same names, that the client can use to unsubscribe from individual events, but not from others. They have the default value of true implying that if not provided, the default action is to unsubscribe from those events.

The following example shows how a client can unsubscribe from a subset of events, keeping subscriptions on the others (if subscribed to):

Example 12. Unsubscribing from state events

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='62'>
      <unsubscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' parameters='true' messages='false' xml:lang='en'
                 nodeAdded='false' nodeUpdated='false' nodeStatusChanged='true' nodeRemoved='false' nodeMovedUp='false' nodeMovedDown='false'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='62'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

3.2.6 Get changes since given timestamp before subscribing

If a client comes back online and wants to know any changes that have taken place on the concentrator since last time it was in contact with it, it can include a getEventsSince attribute in the subscribe command sent to the concentrator. This will make the concentrator send all event messages since the given timestamp to the client before subscribing the client to events in the given data source.

Example 13. Get changes since given timestamp before subscribing

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='59'>
      <subscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' getEventsSince='2013-03-21T19:24:00'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='59'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>
   
   ... Sequence of event messages sent from concentrator to client.

Important: Event subscriptions only last for as long as the client and concentrator both maintain presence. The concentrator must not persist event notification subscriptions, and if it goes offline and back online, or if the client goes offline or online again for any reason, the event subscription is removed.

Note: The parameters and messages attributes can be used to retrieve parameter and status message information about the nodes in event messages sent from the concentrator.

For more information on types of events sent, see the Data Source Events section.

3.2.7 Get changes since given timestamp before subscribing, Failure

If during a subscription request the concentrator is not able to fulfill the request of retrieving previous events using the getEventsSince attribute, perhaps the attribute stretches too far back, or includes too many records, the concentrator can return an error message using a response code of NotImplemented. In this case, the subscription must not be made.

When receiving such an error from the concentrator, the client must make a decision if it should download the data source again, or keep the data source as is, and subscribing again without the getEventsSince attribute.

Example 14. Get changes since given timestamp before subscribing, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='73'>
      <subscribe xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' getEventsSince='2001-01-01T00:00:00'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='73'>
      <subscribeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='NotImplemented'/>
   </iq>

3.3 Nodes

3.3.1 Contains Node

This command permits the client to check the existence of a node in the concentrator.

Example 15. Checking the existence of a node

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='7'>
      <containsNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='7'>
      <containsNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>true</containsNodeResponse>
   </iq>

3.3.2 Contains Nodes

If the client wants to check the existence of multiple nodes on the concentrator, it can use this batch command instead:

Example 16. Checking the existence of a multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='8'>
      <containsNodes xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'>
         <node sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
         <node sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node2'/>
         <node sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node3'/>
         <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Group1'/>
      </containsNodes>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='8'>
      <containsNodesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
         <value>true</value>
         <value>true</value>
         <value>false</value>
         <value>true</value>
      </containsNodesResponse>
   </iq>

The array returned will have one item for each item in the request, in the same order.

3.3.9 Get All Nodes derived from

This command assumes node types exist in a class hierarchy, and allows the caller to retrieve nodes with similar inheritance.

Example 23. Get All Nodes derived from

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='15'>
      <getAllNodes xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' xml:lang='en'>
          <onlyIfDerivedFrom>Namespace.BaseClass1</onlyIfDerivedFrom>
      </getAllNodes>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='15'>
      <getAllNodesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <node nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='WarningUnsigned' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root'/>

      </getAllNodesResponse>
   </iq>

3.3.10 Get All Nodes derived from, with Parameters

This command assumes node types exist in a class hierarchy, and allows the caller to retrieve nodes with similar inheritance. It also returns node parameters directly in the response.

Example 24. Get All Nodes derived from, with Parameters

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='16'>
      <getAllNodes xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' parameters='true' xml:lang='en'>
          <onlyIfDerivedFrom>Namespace.BaseClass1</onlyIfDerivedFrom>
      </getAllNodes>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='16'>

          <node nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='WarningUnsigned' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root'>
              <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
              <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
              <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
              <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
              <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
              <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
              <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
              <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
          </node>
          <node nodeId='Node3' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType3' cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root'>
              <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node3'/>
              <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Electricity Meter v1.2'/>
              <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='345678'/>
              <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Electricity'/>
              <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P332367-9'/>
              <int id='addr' name='Address' value='125'/>
              <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
              <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
          </node>
      </getAllNodesResponse>
   </iq>

Note that the caller can list multiple classes in the request. This would return only nodes having the correct base class(es) and implementing all interfaces.

3.3.11 Get Node Inheritance

This command assumes node types exist in a class hierarchy. It allows the caller to get a list of the node class hierarchy and implemented interfaces the node has.

Example 25. Get node inheritance

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='17'>
      <getNodeInheritance xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='17'>
      <getNodeInheritanceResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <baseClasses>
              <value>Namespace.BaseClass1</value>
              <value>Namespace.AbstractBase</value>
          </baseClasses>
      </getNodeInheritanceResponse>
   </iq>

Note: It is assumed the client already knows the node type of the node, so the response must not contain the type of the node, only its base classes and any implemented interfaces.

3.3.12 Get Root Nodes

This command returns the root node of a data source (in case the source is a tree-shaped data source) or the nodes of a data source (in case the source is flat).

Example 26. Get Root Nodes

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='18'>
      <getRootNodes xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'

In a tree formed data source, all nodes except the root node has a parent node. The getAncestors command allows the client to get a list of all ancestors (parent, grand parent, etc.) of a node, as is shown in the following example:

Example 36. Get Node Ancestors

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='42'>
      <getAncestors xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Node2' parameters='false' messages='false' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='42'>
      <getAncestorsResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <node nodeId='Node2' nodeType='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' state='None' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Apartment 1-1'/>
          <node nodeId='Apartment 1-1' nodeType='Namespace.Apartment' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Building 1'/>
          <node nodeId='Building 1' nodeType='Namespace.Building' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Street'/>
          <node nodeId='Street' nodeType='Namespace.Street' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Area'/>
          <node nodeId='Area' nodeType='Namespace.Area' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='City'/>
          <node nodeId='City' nodeType='Namespace.City' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Region'/>
          <node nodeId='Region' nodeType='Namespace.Region' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Country'/>
          <node nodeId='Country' nodeType='Namespace.Country' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root'/>
          <node nodeId='Root' nodeType='Namespace.Root' state='None' hasChildren='true' 
                isReadable='false' isControllable='false' hasCommands='true'/>
      </getAncestorsResponse>
   </iq>

Note that the concentrator returns information about the node itself in the response. The parameters and messages attributes are used in the request to control if the concentrator should return node parameters and node status messages in the response as well.

3.3.23 Move Node Up

As the order of siblings in a tree can be important, depending on the context and type of nodes involved, the client may be allowed to move nodes up and down among siblings. To move a node upwards among its siblings is done using the command moveNodeUp, as is shown in the following example:

Example 37. Move Node Up

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='53'>
      <moveNodeUp xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='53'>
      <moveNodeUpResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note that a node that is first among its siblings will maintain its position. The response to the command must still be OK.

3.3.24 Move Node Down

As the order of siblings in a tree can be important, depending on the context and type of nodes involved, the client may be allowed to move nodes up and down among siblings. To move a node downwards among its siblings is done using the command moveNodeDown, as is shown in the following example:

Example 38. Move Node Up

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='54'>
      <moveNodeDown xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='54'>
      <moveNodeDownResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note that a node that is last among its siblings will maintain its position. The response to the command must still be OK.

3.3.25 Move Nodes Up

To move a set of nodes upwards among its siblings is done using the command moveNodesUp, as is shown in the following example:

Example 39. Move Nodes Up

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='55'>
      <moveNodesUp xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator5'/>
      </moveNodesUp>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='55'>
      <moveNodesUpResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note that a node that is first among its siblings will maintain its position. The response to the command must still be OK. If an attempt is performed to move a sequence of nodes that are together first as siblings, none of the nodes move relative to each other.

3.3.26 Move Nodes Down

To move a set of nodes downwards among its siblings is done using the command moveNodesDown, as is shown in the following example:

Example 40. Move Node Down

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='56'>
      <moveNodesDown xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringFieldProcessors' nodeId='LogicalOperator5'/>
      </moveNodesDown>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='56'>
      <moveNodesDownResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note that a node that is last among its siblings will maintain its position. The response to the command must still be OK. If an attempt is performed to move a sequence of nodes that are together last as siblings, none of the nodes move relative to each other.

3.4 Node Parameters

3.4.1 Get Node Parameters for editing

Previously described commands can return parameters for a node. But these parameters are for presentational or informational use. If the client wants to edit the parameters of a node, another set of commands must be used. This use case shows how getNodeParametersForEdit can be used to edit available parameters for one node.

Note: When editing parameters for a node, a different set of parameters might be returned compared to the set of parameters available in commands mentioned above. There may be various reasons for this, among other things (but not limited to) user rights, node settings, and parameter type. User rights may restrict the number of parameters the user can access. The node may be configured not to allow editing of certain parameters. Also, some types of parameters may only be available in an edit mode (like long multi-line parameters) and not in a shorter presentation mode.

Example 41. Get Node Parameters for editing

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='28'>
      <getNodeParametersForEdit xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>

      </getNodeParametersForEditResponse>
   </iq>

The following table lists the different XEP's the client should implement to be able to support parameter forms according to this proposal:

Table 2: Form XEPs

XEP	Description
XEP-0004	Describes how basic forms are handled.
XEP-0122	Makes it possible to add certain client validation rules to form parameters.
XEP-0137	Makes it possible to publish a file upload parameter.
XEP-0141	Makes it possible to layout parameters into pages and sections.
XEP-0331	Defines extensions for how color parameters can be handled.
XEP-0336	Makes it possible to create dynamic forms, with server-side validation and forms that change dynamically depending on input.

Read-only parameters will be returned with the readOnly element, as defined in XEP-0336. Clients SHOULD support this extension if using this command. However, the server MUST NOT change parameters in a node that are read-only, even if clients happen to try to set them.

3.4.2 Set Node Parameters after editing

After editing the form, the client uses the setNodeParametersAfterEdit command to set the parameters in the node. Note that it is possible to set the same parameters (or a sub-set of the same parameters) to a different node using this command, without the need to get new form parameters. However, after the first successful set operation, any form session used for dynamic validation during edit will not be available on the server anymore and must be ignored by the server.

Example 42. Set Node Parameters after editing

                    
   <iq type='set'

              </field>
              <field var='lat' type='text-single'>
                  <value>12.345</value>
              </field>
              <field var='long' type='text-single'>

          </x>
      </setNodeParametersAfterEdit>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='29'>
      <setNodeParametersAfterEditResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <node nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='WarningUnsigned' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root'>
              <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
              <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
              <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
              <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
              <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
              <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
              <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
              <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
          </node>
      </setNodeParametersAfterEditResponse>
   </iq>

Note that validation rules, pagination, etc., can be stripped from the form when submitting it to the server. Also the form type attribute must be set to 'submit'. Note also that as the result attribute is OK, it is assumed the server has dropped any parameter form resources related to the form, which disables any future dynamic validation of the contents of the form. The newly edited node will also be available in the response in a node element.

3.4.3 Set Node Parameters after editing, Failure

The following example shows how the server responds when the client tries to set invalid parameters. The response contains detailed information about why, information which the client can use to inform the user (if any) of what went wrong.

Example 43. Set Node Parameters after editing, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'

              <field var='addr' type='text-single'>
                  <value>123</value>
              </field>
              <field var='lat' type='text-single'>
                  <value>12.345</value>
              </field>
              <field var='long' type='text-single'>
                  <value>123.45</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </setNodeParametersAfterEdit>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='30'>
      <setNodeParametersAfterEditResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='FormError'>
          <error var='id'>There already exists a node with this ID.</error>
      </setNodeParametersAfterEditResponse>
   </iq>

As the result attribute is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 [10] for more information.

3.4.4 Get Common Node Parameters for editing

Advanced concentrators handling large quantities of nodes may let users edit sets of nodes at once to be practical. This is done by publishing the getCommonNodeParametersForEdit command. It will return a form with parameters that are common for all selected nodes. Since nodes may have different node types it is assumed that different nodes have different sets of parameters. But if this command is used, only parameters matching in IDs, descriptions, validation rules, etc., (but not values) will be returned in a form.

Important: A parameter that exists in multiple nodes, but has different parameter values among the nodes, will be marked with the notSame element, according to XEP-0336. Clients using this command MUST support the extensions defined in XEP-0336.

Example 44. Get Common Node Parameters for editing

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'

          </x>
      </getCommonNodeParametersForEditResponse>
   </iq>

Note that parameters that are not available in all selected nodes will have been removed. Also and ID-parameter will have been removed, since they cannot be set for a collection of nodes.

Fields marked with the notSame element only present one value, perhaps the value of the first node. However, the field should be clearly marked in any end-user GUI (for example by graying the field), and MUST ONLY be sent back to the server in a set operation if explicitly edited by the end-user. The parameter will be set in all selected nodes in that case. Unedited fields should be treated as if the end-user accepts the different values for the current set of nodes.

3.4.5 Set Common Node Parameters after editing

After editing the form, the client uses the setCommonNodeParametersAfterEdit command to set the parameters in the set of nodes. Note that it is possible to set the same parameters (or a sub-set of the same parameters) to a different set of nodes using this command, without the need to get new form parameters. However, after the first successful set operation, any form session used for dynamic validation during edit will not be available on the server any more.

Example 45. Set Common Node Parameters after editing

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'

          </node>
      </setCommonNodeParametersAfterEditResponse>
   </iq>

Note that validation rules, pagination, etc., can be stripped from the form when submitting it to the server. Also the form type attribute must be set to 'submit'. Note also that as the result attribute is OK, it is assumed the server has dropped any parameter form resources related to the form, which disables any future dynamic validation of the contents of the form.

Important: A parameter that exists in multiple nodes, but has different parameter values among the nodes, will be marked with the notSame element, according to XEP-0336. Such parameters MUST NOT be sent back to the server unless they have explicitly been edited or signed by the end-user. The value sent back to the server will be set in all nodes.

3.4.6 Set Common Node Parameters after editing, Failure

The following example shows how the server responds when the client tries to set invalid parameters to a set of nodes. The response contains detailed information about why, information which the client can use to inform the user (if any) of what went wrong.

Example 46. Set Common Node Parameters after editing, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='33'>

          <node sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node2'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node3'/>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>

              </field>
              <field var='id' type='text-single'>
                  <value>Node1</value>
              </field>
              <field var='class' type='list-single'>
                  <value>Temperature</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </setCommonNodeParametersAfterEdit>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='33'>
      <setCommonNodeParametersAfterEditResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='FormError'>
          <error var='id'>Parameter not available.</error>
      </setCommonNodeParametersAfterEditResponse>
   </iq>

As the result attribute is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

3.4.7 Get Node Messages

Each node in the concentrator has a state. This state is a dynamic run-time state, and therefore not presented as a more static property. This state can be any of the following values, in order of increasing importance:

Table 3: Node states

State	Description
None	Nothing has been reported on the node.
Information	There are informative events reported on the node.
WarningSigned	There are warnings reported on the node. But these warnings have been viewed by an operator.
WarningUnsigned	There are new or unreviewed warnings reported on the node.
ErrorSigned	There are errors reported on the node. But these errors have been viewed by an operator.
ErrorUnsigned	There are new or unreviewed errors reported on the node.

Other types of "states" are of course possible, such as phase - installation phase, test phase, production phase, etc. - but such "states" are seen as static and presented as parameters on the node. The purpose of the dynamic state attribute of a node, is to give a dynamic runtime state that has the possibility to change during runtime, which operators must be aware of.

The following commands have an optional attribute messages, with which they can ask the server to return any events logged on the node, giving more details of the current state of the node:

getNode
getNodes
getChildNodes
getAllNodes
getRootNodes
getNodesFromIndex
getNodesFromIndices

Example 47. Get Node Messages

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='34'>
      <getNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' messages='true' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='34'>
      <getNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK' 
                       nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='WarningUnsigned' hasChildren='false'
                       isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'>
          <message timestamp='2013-03-21T11:06:15' type='WarningUnsigned' 
                   eventId='ClockWarning'>Internal clock is offset more than 7 seconds.</message>
      </getNodeResponse>                       
   </iq>

The messages attribute can be combined with the parameters attribute to provide both node parameters and messages in the response.

Example 48. Get Node with parameters and messages

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='35'>
      <getNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' xml:lang='en' parameters='true' messages='true'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='35'>
      <getNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK' 
                       nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='WarningUnsigned' hasChildren='false' 
                       isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'>
          <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
          <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
          <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
          <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
          <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
          <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
          <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
          <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
          <message timestamp='2013-03-21T11:06:15' type='WarningUnsigned' 
                   eventId='ClockWarning'>Internal clock is offset more than 7 seconds.</message>
      </getNodeResponse>
   </iq>

3.5 Creating and Destroying Nodes

3.5.1 Get Addable Node Types

Since nodes are context sensitive, depending on node type and tree structure, before being able to create a new node, it is important to know what types of nodes that can be added to a given node. This is done using the getAddableNodeTypes command, as is shown in the following example:

Example 49. Get Addable Node Types

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='36'>
      <getAddableNodeTypes xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='36'>
      <getAddableNodeTypesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <nodeType type='Namespace.Apartment' name='Apartment'/>
          <nodeType type='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' name='Metering Topology Reference'/>
          <nodeType type='Namespace.Location' name='Service Location'/>
      </getAddableNodeTypesResponse>
   </iq>

3.5.2 Get Parameters for New Node

When you know what type of node you want to create, you need to get a set of parameters you need to fill in for the new node, before you can create it. This is done using the getParametersForNewNode command, as is shown in the following example:

Example 50. Get Parameters for New Node

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='37'>
      <getParametersForNewNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' 
                               type='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='37'>
      <getParametersForNewNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>

                  <required/>
                  <value/>
              </field>
          </x>
      </getParametersForNewNodeResponse>
   </iq>

3.5.3 Create New Node

After editing the form, the client uses the createNewNode command to create the new node using the parameters provided in the form.

Example 51. Create New Node after editing

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='38'>
      <createNewNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' 
                     type='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' xml:lang='en'>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>0B146517-8EA3-4BEC-A2E9-CF3F209D4A5D</value>
              </field>
              <field var='id' type='text-single'>
                  <value>Reference to Node1</value>
              </field>
              <field var='referenceId' type='text-single'>
                  <value>Node1</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </createNewNode>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='38'>
      <createNewNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <node nodeId='Reference to Node1' nodeType='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' state='None' hasChildren='false' 
                isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='B1'>
              <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Reference to Node1'/>
              <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Metering Topology Reference'/>
              <string id='referenceId' name='Reference ID' value='Node1'/>
          </node>
      </createNewNodeResponse>
   </iq>

Note that validation rules, pagination, etc., can be stripped from the form when submitting it to the server. Also the form type attribute must be set to 'submit'. Note also that as the result attribute is OK, it is assumed the server has dropped any parameter form resources related to the form, which disables any future dynamic validation of the contents of the form. The newly created node with corresponding parameters is also returned in the response in a node element.

3.5.4 Create New Node, Failure

The following example shows how the server responds when it cannot accept parameters provided when trying to create a node. The response will contain detailed information about why, information which the client can use to inform the user (if any) of what went wrong.

Example 52. Create New Node, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='39'>
      <createNewNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' 
                     type='Namespace.MeteringTopologyReference' xml:lang='en'>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>0B146517-8EA3-4BEC-A2E9-CF3F209D4A5D</value>
              </field>
              <field var='id' type='text-single'>
                  <value>Node2</value>
              </field>
              <field var='referenceId' type='text-single'>
                  <value>NodeX</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </createNewNode>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='39'>
      <createNewNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='FormError'>
          <error var='id'>There already exists a node with this ID.</error>
          <error var='referenceId'>Referenced node was not found.</error>
      </createNewNodeResponse>
   </iq>

As the result attribute is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

3.5.5 Destroy Node

To destroy (remove) a node from the concentrator, the destroyNode command is sent, as is shown in the following example:

Example 53. Destroy Node

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='40'>
      <destroyNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='40'>
      <destroyNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Since the result attribute in the response is OK, the node has been removed.

3.5.6 Destroy Node, Failure

If the result attribute in the response is other than OK, the node was not removed from the concentrator. The result attribute contains the reason why the operation failed, as is shown in the following example:

Example 54. Destroy Node, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='41'>
      <destroyNode xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='B1' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='41'>
      <destroyNodeResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='InsufficientPrivileges'/>
   </iq>

3.6 Node Commands

3.6.1 Get Node Commands

Each node can have a context sensitive set of commands available to it. This is shown using the hasCommands attribute in the Node Information record describing the corresponding node. If the client wants to get a list of available commands, the getNodeCommands command is sent to the concentrator, as is shown in the following example:

Example 55. Get Node Commands

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='43'>
      <getNodeCommands xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='43'>
      <getNodeCommandsResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <command command='knockDoor' name='Knock on door' type='Simple' 
                   confirmationString='Are you sure you want to knock on the door?'
                   failureString='Unable to knock on the door.'
                   successString='Door knocked.'/>
          <command command='scheduleWakeupCall' name='Schedule wakeup call' type='Parameterized' 
                   failureString='Unable to schedule the wakeup call.'
                   successString='Wakeup call scheduled.'/>
          <command command='searchEvents' name='Search events...' type='Query' 
                   failureString='Unable to search for events.'
                   successString='Search for events started...'/>
      </getNodeCommandsResponse>
   </iq>

There are three types of commands available: Simple, Parameterized and Query. Simple commands take no parameters, and are therefore simpler to execute. Parameterized commands require the client to get a set of parameters for the corresponding command before it can be executed. Query commands also require a set of parameters to be executed, but return a response after (or during) execution in an asynchronous fashion. Queries can also be aborted during execution. A Query with an empty parameter set is considered to be a simple query, not requiring a parameter dialog to be shown.

For more information about command attributes, see Node Commands.

3.6.2 Execute Simple Node Command

Executing a simple command is done by sending the executeNodeCommand command to the concentrator, as is shown in the following example:

Example 56. Execute Simple Node Command

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='44'>
      <executeNodeCommand xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' command='knockDoor' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='44'>
      <executeNodeCommandResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

3.6.3 Get Node Command Parameters

To execute a parameterized command or a query on the node, the client first needs to get (and edit) a set of parameters for the command. Getting a set of parameters for a parameterized command is done as follows:

Example 57. Get Node Command Parameters

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='45'>
      <getCommandParameters xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' 
                            command='scheduleWakeupCall' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='45'>
      <getCommandParametersResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <x type='form' 
             xmlns='jabber:x:data' 
             xmlns:xdv='http://jabber.org/protocol/xdata-validate'
             xmlns:xdl='http://jabber.org/protocol/xdata-layout'
             xmlns:xdd='urn:xmpp:xdata:dynamic'>
              <title>Schedule wake-up call</title>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>E14E330F-8496-46F0-8F40-178808AB13A7</value>
              </field>
              <field var='time' type='text-single' label='Time:'>
                  <desc>Time of the wake-up call.</desc>
                  <required/>
                  <value></value>
                  <xdv:validate datatype='xs:time'/>
                      <xdv:basic/>
                  </xdv:validate>
              </field>
              <field var='mode' type='list-single' label='Wake-up mode:'>
                  <desc>Type of wake-up call</desc>
                  <value>Soft</value>
                  <option label='Soft'><value>Soft</value></option>
                  <option label='Normal'><value>Normal</value></option>
                  <option label='Harass'><value>Harass</value></option>
              </field>
          </x>
      </getCommandParametersResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.4 Execute Parameterized Node Command

Executing a parameterized command is also done by sending the executeNodeCommand command to the concentrator, but including the edited form parameters, as is shown in the following example:

Example 58. Execute Parameterized Node Command

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='46'>
      <executeNodeCommand xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' 
                          command='scheduleWakeupCall' xml:lang='en'>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>E14E330F-8496-46F0-8F40-178808AB13A7</value>
              </field>
              <field var='time' type='text-single'>
                  <value>04:30:00</value>
              </field>
              <field var='mode' type='list-single'>
                  <value>Harass</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </executeNodeCommand>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='46'>
      <executeNodeCommandResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

3.6.5 Execute Node Command, Failure

If an error occurs during the execution of a command or if the server rejects the execution of a command, the server returns a response code different from OK. If the response code is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

Example 59. Execute Node Command, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='47'>
      <executeNodeCommand xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' 
                          command='scheduleWakeupCall' xml:lang='en'>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>E14E330F-8496-46F0-8F40-178808AB13A7</value>
              </field>
              <field var='time' type='text-single'>
                  <value>04:30:00</value>
              </field>
              <field var='mode' type='list-single'>
                  <value>Harass</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </executeNodeCommand>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='47'>
      <executeNodeCommandResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='FormError'>
          <error var='mode'>You are not allowed to harass people at 04:30:00!</error>
      </executeNodeCommandResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.6 Execute Node Query

Executing a Node Query also requires the client to get a set of parameters for the query. This is done in the same way as for parametrized commands, as is shown in the following example:

Example 60. Get Node Query Parameters

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='74'>
      <getCommandParameters xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' 
                            command='searchEvents' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='74'>
      <getCommandParametersResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <x type='form' 
             xmlns='jabber:x:data' 
             xmlns:xdv='http://jabber.org/protocol/xdata-validate'
             xmlns:xdl='http://jabber.org/protocol/xdata-layout'
             xmlns:xdd='urn:xmpp:xdata:dynamic'>
              <title>Search for events</title>
              <field var='xdd session' type='hidden'>
                  <value>E14E330F-8496-46F0-8F40-178808AB13A7</value>
              </field>
              <field var='from' type='text-single' label='From:'>
                  <desc>From what point in time events will be fetched.</desc>
                  <required/>
                  <value>2013-04-16T12:58:00</value>
                  <xdv:validate datatype='xs:dateTime'/>
                      <xdv:basic/>
                  </xdv:validate>
              </field>
              <field var='to' type='text-single' label='To:'>
                  <desc>To what point in time events will be fetched.</desc>
                  <required/>
                  <value>2013-04-23T12:58:00</value>
                  <xdv:validate datatype='xs:dateTime'/>
                      <xdv:basic/>
                  </xdv:validate>
              </field>
              <field var='searchText' type='text-single' label='Search Text:'>
                  <desc>Only return events including this text.</desc>
                  <required/>
                  <value></value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </getCommandParametersResponse>
   </iq>

Executing the query is then done by sending the executeNodeQuery command to the concentrator, but including the edited form parameters, as is shown in the following example:

Example 61. Execute Node Query

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='75'>
      <executeNodeQuery xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' command='searchEvents' xml:lang='en'>
          <x type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'>
              <field var='from' type='text-single'>
                  <value>2013-04-16T12:58:00</value>
              </field>
              <field var='to' type='text-single'>
                  <value>2013-04-23T12:58:00</value>
              </field>
              <field var='searchText' type='text-single'>
                  <value>Harass</value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </executeNodeQuery>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='75'>
      <executeNodeQueryResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK' queryId='Query0001'/>
   </iq>
   
   ...

After the successful execution of a query command, a sequence of query events will follow. These events will include a queryId attribute to identify to which query the corresponding events correspond. See section about Query Events for more information about this.

Note: Queries with no visible parameters in the command parameter form need not display a parameter form to the user before being executed. However, if a confirmation question is defined for the command, such a confirmation question should always be presented to the user (if possible) before executing the command.

3.6.7 Execute Node Query, Failure

If an error occurs during the reception of a query or if the server rejects the execution of a query, the server returns a response code different from OK. If the response code is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

Example 62. Execute Node Query, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='76'>

   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'

       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='76'>
      <executeNodeQueryResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='FormError'>
          <error var='to'>The TO timestamp needs to be later than the FROM timestamp.</error>
      </executeNodeQueryResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.8 Abort Node Query

One a query has been accepted and started running, the client can abort it using the abortNodeQuery command, as is shown in the following example.

Example 63. Abort Node Query

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='77'>
      <abortNodeQuery xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' command='searchEvents' 
                      queryId='Query0001' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='77'>
      <abortNodeQueryResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note: The execution of a query is an asynchronous process, with a small delay between the compilation and transmission of query events and the reception of them by a client. A client may thinkt a query is still active when asking to abort it, when the query might actually have been finished and removed on the query side. Therefore, clients should be aware of this when receiving NotFound responses from a concentrator, that the query might already have been finished.

3.6.9 Get Common Commands for Nodes

Using the command getCommonNodeCommands, the client can receive commands that are common for a set of nodes, as is shown in the following example:

Example 64. Get Common Commands for Nodes

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='48'>
      <getCommonNodeCommands xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' xml:lang='en'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-2'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-5'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-6'/>
      </getCommonNodeCommands>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='48'>
      <getCommonNodeCommandsResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <command command='knockDoor' name='Knock on door' type='Simple' 
                   confirmationString='Are you sure you want to knock on the door?'
                   failureString='Unable to knock on the door.'
                   successString='Door knocked.'/>
          <command command='scheduleWakeupCall' name='Schedule wakeup call' type='Parameterized' 
                   failureString='Unable to schedule the wakeup call.'
                   successString='Wakeup call scheduled.'/>
      </getCommonNodeCommandsResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.10 Execute Simple Command on multiple nodes

Executing a simple command on multiple nodes is done by sending the executeCommonNodeCommand command to the concentrator, as is shown in the following example:

Example 65. Execute Simple Command on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='49'>
      <executeCommonNodeCommand xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' command='knockDoor' xml:lang='en'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-2'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-5'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-6'/>
      </executeCommonNodeCommand>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='49'>
      <executeCommonNodeCommandResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <result>true</result>
          <result>true</result>
          <result>true</result>
          <result>true</result>
          <result>true</result>
          <result>true</result>
      </executeCommonNodeCommandResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.11 Get Common Command Parameters from command on multiple nodes

To execute a parameterized command on a set of nodes, the client first needs to get (and edit) a set of parameters for the common command. Getting a set of parameters for a common parameterized command is done as follows:

Example 66. Get Common Command Parameters from command on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='50'>
      <getCommonCommandParameters xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' command='scheduleWakeupCall' xml:lang='en'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-2'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-5'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-6'/>
      </getCommonCommandParameters>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'

                  </xdv:validate>
              </field>
              <field var='mode' type='list-single' label='Wake-up mode:'>
                  <desc>Type of wake-up call</desc>

          </x>
      </getCommonCommandParametersResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.12 Execute Common Parameterized Command on multiple nodes

Executing a common parameterized command is also done by sending the executeCommonNodeCommand command to the concentrator, but including the edited form parameters, as is shown in the following example:

Example 67. Execute Common Parameterized Command on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='51'>

      </executeCommonNodeCommandResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.13 Execute Parameterized Command on Multiple Nodes, Failure

If an error occurs during the execution of a common command or if the server rejects the execution of a common command, the server returns a response code different from OK. If the response code is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

Example 68. Execute Parameterized Command on Multiple Nodes, Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'

      </executeCommonNodeCommandResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.14 Execute Command on Multiple Nodes, Partial Failure

When executing a command, simple or parameterized, on multiple nodes, it might happen that the command fails on some nodes, but not on others, even though any parameters are validated beforehand. Therefore, the client needs to check any result elements in the response, even though the response code is OK.

The following example shows the execution of a parameterized command on multiple nodes that fail on some nodes but are executed on others. Note that individual error messages can be provided as error attribute messages for each node that fails in the corresponding result element.

Example 69. Execute Command on Multiple Nodes, Partial Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='72'>
      <executeCommonNodeCommand xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' command='scheduleWakeupCall' xml:lang='en'>

          <result>true</result>
      </executeCommonNodeCommandResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.15 Execute Common Query on multiple nodes

Executing a Node Query on multiple nodes also requires the client to get a set of parameters for the query common to all nodes. This is done in the same way as for parametrized commands, as is shown in the following example:

Example 70. Get Common Query Parameters from query on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='78'>
      <getCommonCommandParameters xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' command='searchEvents' xml:lang='en'>

          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-5'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-6'/>
      </getCommonCommandParameters>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='78'>
      <getCommonCommandParametersResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>

                  <required/>
                  <value></value>
              </field>
          </x>
      </getCommonCommandParametersResponse>

Executing the query is then done by sending the executeCommonNodeQuery command to the concentrator, but including the edited form parameters, as is shown in the following example:

Example 71. Execute Common Query on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'

   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='79'>
      <executeCommonNodeQueryResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK' queryId='Query0001'/>
   </iq>
   
   ...

After the successful execution of a query command, a sequence of query events will follow. These events will include a queryId attribute to identify to which query the corresponding events correspond. They will also include node reference attributes so the receptor can distinguish information from different nodes in the query. See section about Query Events for more information about this.

Note: Queries with no visible parameters in the command parameter form need not display a parameter form to the user before being executed. However, if a confirmation question is defined for the command, such a confirmation question should always be presented to the user (if possible) before executing the command.

If an error occurs during the execution of a common query or if the server rejects the execution of a common query, the server returns a response code different from OK. If the response code is FormError, the server maintains any parameter form resources related to the form, and features such as dynamic validation of the contents of the form will still be available until the parameters have been successfully set, the operation has been explicitly cancelled or a form session time-out has occurred. See XEP-0336 for more information.

Example 72. Execute Parameterized Query on multiple nodes, Failure

      </executeCommonNodeQueryResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.17 Execute Common Query on multiple nodes, Partial Failure

When executing a query on multiple nodes, it might happen that the query is rejected on some nodes, but not on others, even though any parameters are validated beforehand. Therefore, the client needs to check any result elements in the response, even though the response code is OK.

The following example shows the execution of a query on multiple nodes that fail on some nodes but are executed on others. Note that individual error messages can be provided as error attribute messages for each node that fails in the corresponding result element.

Example 73. Execute Common Query on multiple nodes, Partial Failure

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='81'>
      <executeCommonNodeQuery xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' command='searchEvents' xml:lang='en'>

          <result>true</result>
      </executeCommonNodeQueryResponse>
   </iq>

3.6.18 Abort Common Query on multiple nodes

To abort a query common to a set of nodes you use the abortCommonNodeQuery command, as is shown in the following example:

Example 74. Abort Common Query on multiple nodes

                    
   <iq type='set'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='82'>
      <abortCommonNodeQuery xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' queryId='Query0002' xml:lang='en'>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-2'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-3'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-4'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-5'/>
          <node sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-6'/>
      </abortCommonNodeQuery>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='82'>
      <abortCommonNodeQueryResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'/>
   </iq>

Note: The execution of a query is an asynchronous process, with a small delay between the compilation and transmission of query events and the reception of them by a client. A client may thinkt a query is still active when asking to abort it, when the query might actually have been finished and removed on the query side. Therefore, clients should be aware of this when receiving NotFound responses from a concentrator, that the query might already have been finished. In the case of aborting queries on multiple nodes, servers must ignore nodes where the query has already finished executing.

3.7 Query Events

Query events are sent as a response to executing queries on nodes. They are reported asynchronously from the concentrator to the client executing the query. Each event is wrapped in a queryProgress element within a message sent from the concentrator to the client. Each such queryProgress element can include any number of query events, and the client must process them in the order they appear in the message.

Each queryProgress element contains a queryId attribute identifying the query to which the events correspond. They also contain sourceId, nodeId and an optional cacheType to identify from which node in a concentrator the events originated.

Note: A queryProgress element can only contain events from a single query executed on a single node. If a query is executed on multiple nodes, events resulting from different nodes will be sent in different messages.

The following subsections describe each query event in turn.

3.7.1 Query Started

This event is sent when the query is started on a node. It is sent using a queryStarted event element. This element does not take any attributes.

Example 75. Query Started

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          <queryStarted/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.2 Query Done

This event is sent when the query is done on a node. It is sent using a queryDone event element. This element does not take any attributes.

Example 76. Query Done

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <queryDone/>
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.3 Query Aborted

This event is sent when the query has been aborted on a node. It is sent using a queryAborted event element. This element does not take any attributes.

Example 77. Query Aborted

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <queryAborted/>
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.4 New Table

A query result can consist of zero or more data tables. Each data table consists of a set of columns and records containing value items for the these columns. A new table is identified by a query event named newTable. a newTable event contains a sequence of column events each identifying a column in the table.

Example 78. New Table

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <newTable tableId='table1' tableName='Events'>
              <column columnId='timestamp' header='Timestamp'>
              <column columnId='message' header='Message'>
          </newTable>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

For more information about column definitions, see Table Column definitions in query results.

3.7.5 New Records

A set of records in an open table is reported using the newRecords query event.

Example 79. New Records

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <newRecords tableId='table1'>
              <record>
                  <dateTime>2013-04-24T17:43:15</dateTime>
                  <string>Harassed</string>
              </record>
              ...
          </newRecords>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

For more information about records, see Record Item definitions in query results.

3.7.6 Table Done

This event is sent when the query is done with a table. It is sent using a tableDone event element. The query must not send any more records to a table that has been closed using this query event.

Example 80. Table Done

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <tableDone tableId='table1'/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.7 New Object

Some queries may want to return other types of data than tables, like images, graphs, etc. These may be combined with table information or not. A query returns such an object using the newObject query event. Each object is MIME encoded, and the MIME Type is sent in the contentType attribute. The object itself is Base-64 encoded.

Example 81. New Object

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <newObject contentType='image/png'>...</newObject>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.8 Query Message

During the processing of a query, the query might want to report a message of some kind. This is done using the queryMessage query event.

Example 82. Query Message

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <queryMessage type='Information' level='Minor'>30 events found.</queryMessage>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

For more information about query messages, see Message definitions in query results.

3.7.9 Title

Enables the executing process of the query to set a custom title for the result. Note that the result only has one title.

Example 83. Title

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <title name='Current state'/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.10 Status

Permits the executing process to report the current status. This can change a lot during execution and values should not be persisted, like query messages. Instead, they can be displayed in a status bar, just to give the end-user feedback of the status of a long-running query.

Example 84. Status

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <status message='Processing. 67% done.'/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.7.11 Starting a section or subsection

Starts a new section in the query result. In large query results, sections can be used to format the result using an intuitive disposition in a visually appealing way. Nested sections should be interepreted as sub-sections. Tables and objects started or reported within a section belong in that section, and should be listed sequentially in the order they are reported to the client.

Example 85. Starting a section or subsection

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <beginSection header='1. Stockholm'/>
          ...
          <beginSection header='1.1. Solna'/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

Note that the use of sections in a query result is optional. Tables and objects received outside the scope of sections should be placed in a default section by the client.

3.7.12 Closing a section or subsection

Closes the current section or sub-section. Tables inside closed sections can still be open and receive fields. Tables are closed using the tableDone query event.

Example 86. Starting a section or subsection

                
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <queryProgress xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringGroups' nodeId='Apartment 1-1' cacheType='Apartment' queryId='Query0001'>
          ...
          <endSection/>
          ...
          <endSection/>
          ...
      </queryProgress>
   </message>

3.8 Data Source Events

Events are asynchronous messages sent from the concentrator to devices registered with the concentrator and having subscribed to events from the concentrator. Event subscription can be activated using the subscribe command. You can also retrieve historical events using the subscribe command.

Each event is sent from the concentrator to each subscriber using a message stanza. Each such message stanza may contain multiple events. The following subsections list the different types of events that can be sent. Even though these examples may list only one element in a message stanza, this is not a limitation. Different types of events may also be mixed within the message stanza.

Event subscriptions only last for as long as the client and concentrator both maintains presence. The concentrator must not persist event notification subscriptions, and if it goes offline and back online, or if the client goes offline or online again for any reason, the event subscription is removed.

Node events may contain parameters or status messages. This depends on how the subscription was made. The parameters and messages attributes in the subscribe command determine if node parameters and/or status messages should be sent in event messages.

3.8.1 Node added event

The nodeAdded event is sent when a node has been added to a data source which the client subscribes to. The following example shows how such an event message may look like:

Example 87. Node added event, without parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeAdded xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' 
                 cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' 
                 parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
   </message>

Example 88. Node added event, with parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeAdded xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' 
                 cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' 
                 parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'>
          <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
          <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
          <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
          <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
          <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
          <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
          <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
          <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
      </nodeAdded>
   </message>

Note: Moving a node in a data source from one parent to another, possibly between different data sources, is performed by first removing it from the current source (sending a nodeRemoved event) and then adding it to the new data source (sending a nodeAdded event), in that order.

If a node is added to a parent where order of nodes is important, the attributes afterNodeId and also optionally afterNodeCacheType used to identify the node after which the new node should be inserted.

Example 89. Ordered Node added event, without parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeAdded xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node2' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' 
                 cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' 
                 parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01' afterNodeId='Node1' afterNodeCacheType='Node'/>
   </message>

3.8.2 Node removed

The nodeRemoved event is sent when a node in a data source has been removed or destroyed. It does not include status message or parameter information about the node, only the reference to the node. The following example shows how such an event message may look like:

Example 90. Node removed

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeRemoved xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
   </message>

Note: Moving a node in a data source from one parent to another, possibly between different data sources, is performed by first removing it from the current source (sending a nodeRemoved event) and then adding it to the new data source (sending a nodeAdded event), in that order.

3.8.3 Node updated

The nodeUpdated event is sent when a node has been updated in a data source which the client subscribes to. The following example shows how such an event message may look like:

Example 91. Node updated event, without parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeUpdated xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' 
                   cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' 
                   parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
   </message>

Example 92. Node updated event, with parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeUpdated xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' 
                   cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' 
                   parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'>
          <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
          <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
          <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
          <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
          <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
          <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
          <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
          <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
      </nodeUpdated>

The event has an optional attribute named oldId. It is set when the node has been renamed. It must be used, if available, to identify what node has been updated, as the following example shows:

Example 93. Node renamed event, without parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeUpdated xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' oldId='OldNode1' nodeId='Node1' 
                   nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' 
                   isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'/>
   </message>

Example 94. Node renamed event, with parameters

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeUpdated xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' oldId='OldNode1' nodeId='Node1' 
                   nodeType='Namespace.NodeType1' cacheType='Node' state='None' hasChildren='false' isReadable='true' 
                   isControllable='true' hasCommands='true' parentId='Root' lastChanged='2013-03-19T17:58:01'>
          <string id='id' name='Node ID' value='Node1'/>
          <string id='type' name='Node Type' value='Watchamacallit Temperature Sensor v1.2'/>
          <string id='sn' name='Serial Number' value='123456'/>
          <string id='class' name='Node Class' value='Temperature'/>
          <string id='meterLoc' name='Meter Location' value='P123502-2'/>
          <int id='addr' name='Address' value='123'/>
          <double id='lat' name='Latitude' value='12.345'/>
          <double id='long' name='Longitude' value='123.45'/>
      </nodeUpdated>
   </message>

Note: If only the status has changed, and no other parameters have changed, the nodeStatusChanged event could be sent instead, for somewhat improved performance in this case.

3.8.4 Node status changed

The nodeStatusChanged event is sent when the state of the node has changed, but no other parameters have been changed. If the client has subscribed to state messages, these will also be included in the event.

Example 95. Node status changed event, without messages

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeStatusChanged xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' cacheType='Node' state='ErrorUnsigned'/>
   </message>

Example 96. Node status changed event, with messages

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeStatusChanged xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1' cacheType='Node' state='ErrorUnsigned'>
          <message timestamp='2013-03-22T12:49:34' type='Error'>Sensor does not respond to read-out requests.</message>
      </nodeStatusChanged>
   </message>

3.8.5 Node moved up

The nodeMovedUp event is sent when a node in a data source has been moved up among its siblings. It does not include status message or parameter information about the node, only the reference to the node. The following example shows how such an event message may look like:

Example 97. Node moved up

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeMovedUp xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
   </message>

Note: If issuing a moveNodeUp command on a node that is already first among its siblings, the node is not moved and the concentrator must not send a nodeMovedUp event. However, if the client receives such an event pointing to a node that is already first among its siblings, it should not move the node.

3.8.6 Node moved down

The nodeMovedDown event is sent when a node in a data source has been moved down among its siblings. It does not include status message or parameter information about the node, only the reference to the node. The following example shows how such an event message may look like:

Example 98. Node moved down

                    
   <message from='concentrator@clayster.com'
            to='client@clayster.com/client'>
      <nodeMovedDown xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' sourceId='MeteringTopology' nodeId='Node1'/>
   </message>

Note: If issuing a moveNodeDown command on a node that is already last among its siblings, the node is not moved and the concentrator must not send a nodeMovedDown event. However, if the client receives such an event pointing to a node that is already last among its siblings, it should not move the node.

3.9 Field Databases

A concentrator can often store data from sensors locally (or remotely but controlled locally). Storage is done in field databases. A concentrator with only communicative abilities will publish zero such field databases (and support for none of the field database commands), while a pure metering database will publish one or many field databases, but none of the nodes available in any of the different data sources are readable or writable. The nodes in this latter case only acts as placeholders for the data that the concentrator is storing or controlling.

The following subsections lists different use cases relating to field databases and how to use them.

3.9.1 Get All Databases

The client can retrieve the list of available databases on the concentrator using the getDatabases command, as is shown in the following example:

Example 99. Get All Databases

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='64'>
      <getDatabases xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' xml:lang='en'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='64'>
      <getDatabasesResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='OK'>
          <database databaseId='LocalDB' name='Local Database'/>
          <database databaseId='LocalDBTest' name='Local Test Database'/>
          <database databaseId='LocalDBProduction' name='Local Production Database'/>
          <database databaseId='RemoteDB' name='Remote Database'/>
      </getDatabasesResponse>
   </iq>

3.9.2 Get Database Readout Parameters

Before reading data from a database can begin, a parameter form containing database specific search parameters needs to be fetched from the server. This is done using the getDatabaseReadoutParameters command, as is shown in the following example:

Example 100. Get Database Readout Parameters

                    
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='65'>
      <getDatabaseReadoutParameters xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' xml:lang='en' databaseId='LocalDB'/>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='result'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='65'>

3.9.3 Start Database Readout

Once the parameter form has been filled out, a database readout can be started using the startDatabaseReadout command. Data read from the concentrator will follow the same flow of sensor data as that described in Internet of Things - Sensor Data (XEP-0323) [11]. The only difference is that the read-out is started with the startDatabaseReadout command instead of the req command of the sensor data namespace.

The following diagram shows the flow of messages when requesting a readout from a database:

The following example shows a startDatabaseReadout request:

5.1 Node Information

Several commands return basic node information. The following table lists possible fields with corresponding descriptions.

Table 4: Basic Node Information

Attribute	Use	Default	Description
nodeId	required		The ID of the node in the data source.
displayName	optional		If provided, a string presentable to users. If localization is supported and a correct language attribute was provided, this string will be localized.
nodeType	optional		A string representing the type of the node.
localId	optional		If provided, an ID for the node, but unique locally between siblings.
logId	optional		If provided, an ID for the node, as it would appear or be used in system logs.
cacheType	optional		Used to uniquely identify the node in sources where the ID of the node is not sufficient. Example: In a spatial ordering different nodes may represent countries, regions, cities, areas, streets, buildings and apartments in the same source. However, the ID of each node would depend on what type of node it represents. It might be valid to have a region, city and/or area with the same ID. So, to these circumstances, a Cache Type of Country, Region, City, Area, Street, Building and Apartment can be used to allow for non-unique IDs within the source, as long as they are unique within the same cache type. ***
state	required		Current overall state of the node.
hasChildren	required		If the node has children or not.
childrenOrdered	optional	false	If the children of the node have an intrinsic order (true), or if the order is not important (false). If the order is not important, the client can present the order as it wishes, for example sorted on Node ID or any other parameter available on the child nodes. However, if the children have an intrinsic order, it's important for the client to refresh the child list when necessary whenever the order is unknown, such as after a nodeAdded event or a nodeRemoved event.
isReadable	optional	false	If the node can be read. (*)
isControllable	optional	false	If the node can be controlled. (**)
hasCommands	optional	false	If the node has registered commands or not.
parentId	optional		The node ID of the parent node. If not available, the node is considered a root node.
parentCacheType	optional		The Cache Type of the parent node.
lastChanged	optional		When the node was last changed. Can be used by clients to synchronize content between the concentrator and itself.

(*) See Internet of Things - Sensor Data for more information about how to read nodes.

(**) See Internet of Things - Control for more information about how to control nodes.

(***) Note that cacheType is optional. In some data sources it might be necessary to include a cache type to allow for IDs that are not unique within the source. In these cases, it concentrator must include the cacheType attribute for nodes in the corresponding data source, and clients must use the corresponding cacheType value when referencing the node. But if such a separation of IDs within a source is not required, the concentrator may ignore the cacheType attribute. In these instances clients may also ignore the cacheType attribute when referencing the nodes in the corresponding data source, or use the empty string as value for the cacheType value. The server must ignore empty cacheType values for data sources not using a cache type separation mechanism.

5.2 Parameter Types

Nodes can report parameters of different types. The following table lists available parameter types.

Table 5: Parameter Types

Element Name	Parameter Value
boolean	Boolean values. Can be true or false.
color	Color values. They are strings containing 6 case-insensitive hexadecimal digits of the form RRGGBB, where RR=Red component, GG=Green component, BB=Blue component.
dateTime	Date and time value, with possible time zone information.
double	double precision floating point value.
duration	A time duration value.
int	A 32-bit integer value.
long	A 64-bit integer value.
string	A string value.
time	A time value using a 24-hour clock.

5.3 Response Codes

All responses have a response code that the client is required to check. The following table lists possible response codes and their corresponding meanings.

Table 6: Response Codes

Response Code	Description
OK	Request is OK and accepted.
NotFound	Corresponding object, node, etc., was not found.
InsufficientPrivileges	Insufficient privileges to perform the corresponding action or execute the corresponding command. Make sure to provide sufficient credentials in the call (user, service, device tokens) with sufficient privileges to perform the action/command.
Locked	The object/node is locked, and operation could not be performed or completed.
NotImplemented	Command is not implemented.
FormError	The form send to the concentrator contains errors. The response contains detailed error information.
OtherError	Another error occurred.

5.4 Unimplemented commands

It's important that the concentrator responds to unrecognized commands. This, to make sure future extensions to this document does not produce unexpected results in concentrators implementing a previous version, or in concentrators implementing only a subset of available commands.

When a concentrator receives an element that it does not understand, it must do as follows:

If the element is received in a message stanza, the element must be ignored.
If the element is received in an iq-result stanza, the element must be ignored.
If the element is received in an iq-get or iq-set stanza, an iq-result stanza must be composed containing an element with the same name as the incoming element, but with Response appended to it, having a response code of NotImplemented.

The following example shows how unrecognized commands must be handled by the concentrator:

Example 107. Unimplemented commands

                
   <iq type='get'
       from='client@clayster.com/client'
       to='concentrator@clayster.com'
       id='69'>
      <holabandola xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' ...>
          ...
      </holabandola>
   </iq>
   
   <iq type='error'
       from='concentrator@clayster.com'
       to='client@clayster.com/client'
       id='69'>
      <holabandolaResponse xmlns='urn:xmpp:iot:concentrators' result='NotImplemented'/>
   </iq>

5.5 Command attributes

Node commands have a set of attributes. The following table lists available attributes and what they mean.

Table 7: Command attributes

Attribute	Use	Description
command	required	ID of the command. Used to identify the command.
name	required	A string that can be presented to an end-user. Should be localized if the request contained a language preference.
type	required	If the command is 'Simple' or 'Parameterized'.
sortCategory	optional	Should be used (if available) by clients to sort available node commands before presenting them to an end-user. Commands should be sorted by Sort Category, Sort Key and lastly by Name.
sortKey	optional	Should be used (if available) by clients to sort available node commands before presenting them to an end-user. Commands should be sorted by Sort Category, Sort Key and lastly by Name.
confirmationString	optional	Should presented to clients (if available) before letting an end-user execute the command. A delete command might have a confirmationString saying 'Are you sure you want to delete the current item?' The confirmation string should be presented as a Yes/No[/Cancel] dialog.
failureString	optional	Could be presented to end-users (if available) if a command fails. It provides the client with an optionally localized string giving some context to the error message. A delete command might have a failureString saying 'Unable to delete the current item.'. The client could then add additional error information, if available, for instance from the response code.
successString	optional	Could be presented to end-users (if available) if a command is successfully executed. It provides the client with an optionally localized string giving some context to the message. A delete command might have a successString saying 'Current item successfully deleted.'.

5.6 Node States

Nodes can be in different states. Even though nodes are free to publish any amount of states as parameters, there are a set of states that are so crucial to the concept of a node state, that they are published using a separate attribute and separate events. These node states are as follows:

Table 8: Node States

State	Description
None	The node has nothing special to report.
Information	The node has informative events reported on it.
WarningSigned	The node has warnings reported on it. These warnings have been viewed by an operator.
WarningUnsigned	The node has warnings reported on it that have not been viewed by anybody.
ErrorSigned	The node has errors reported on it. These errors have been viewed by an operator.
ErrorUnsigned	The node has errors reported on it that have not been viewed by anybody.

5.7 Required Data Sources

The following table lists required data sources for concentrators (of sensors, actuators, meters, etc.) in sensor networks:

Table 9: Required Data Sources

Data Source	Description
MeteringTopology	Data Source containing the topology of metering devices, including sensors, actuators, meter, infrastructure components, etc.

5.8 Table Column definitions in query results

Table columns in query results can have the following attributes:

Table 10: Table Column attributes

Attribute	Use	Description
columnId	Required	ID of column
header	Optional	If provided, a localized name to be displayed instead of the column ID.
alignment	Optional	Alignment of contents in the column. If provided, the client does not need to guess alignment from the type of data reported.
nrDecimals	Optional	If floating point data is presented in the column and a fixed number of decimals is desired, this attribute is used to fix the number of decimals used.
dataSourceId	Optional	If contents of columns contains references to nodes in a data source, this attribute defines the data source ID.
cacheTypeName	Optional	If contents of columns contains references to nodes in a data source, this attribute defines the cache type.
fgColor	Optional	If presentation of this column should be done using a specific foreground color.
bgColor	Optional	If presentation of this column should be done using a specific background color.

5.9 Record Item definitions in query results

Records contain arrays of items, each item correspond to a specific column with the same ordinal index. Each item is specified together with its type. This, so receptors can integrate the result with type information if necessary. The following different type elements are available:

Table 11: Table Column attributes

Element	Contents
boolean	A boolean value, corresponding to the xs:boolean data type.
color	A color value. These are strings containing 6 case-insensitive hexadecimal digits of the form RRGGBB, where RR=Red component, GG=Green component, BB=Blue component.
dateTime	A Date & Time value, corresponding to the xs:dateTime data type.
double	A floating-point value, corresponding to the xs:double data type.
duration	A duration value, corresponding to the xs:duration data type.
int	A 32-bit integer value, corresponding to the xs:int data type.
long	A 64-bit value, corresponding to the xs:long data type.
string	A string value, corresponding to the xs:string data type.
time	A time value, corresponding to the xs:time data type.
base64	A base-64 encoded object. The object is MIME encoded, and the attribute contentType contains the MIME Type which includes information on how to decode the value.
void	Contains no information. This represents a NULL value.

5.10 Message definitions in query results

Messages in query results contain apart from a message text, also contain some classification on what the message is using two attributes: The type attribute gives a rough idea about the type of message and level the importance of the message.

Table 12: Message Types

Type	Description
Information	Information message
Warning	Message contains a warning. The situation could turn into an error if consideration or action is not taken.
Error	Message contains an error. The error message describes the error, and the error has been handled correctly by the device performing the query.
Exception	Message contains an exception message. An unforseen and perhaps an unhandled event has occurred during the execution of the query.

Table 13: Message Levels

Level	Description
Minor	Minor event. Message describes common tasks.
Medium	Medium event. Message might describe a state change, something has been updated, or important information.
Major	Major event. Message might describe architectural change or vital information.

5.11 Single vs. batch commands

Many commands exist in single and batch versions. Large concentrators require efficient ways to manage sets of nodes simultaneously, while for small concentrators, it is sufficient to manage nodes one at a time.

A concentrator is not required to implement both sets of commands if not desired. However, it must report which commands it supports in the getCapabilities command. A caller can then adapt its calls based on what commands are supported.

If a caller wants to call the single item version of a command, but the concentrator only supports the batch version, it should call the batch version, but only include the single node in the list of nodes.

On the other hand, if the caller wants to perform an operation on a set of nodes, but the concentrator only supports the single item version of the command, it needs to manually perform the operation on each node separately, unless failing the request is an option.

6.1 Localization

Localization of content can be performed if clients provide xml:lang attributes in commands made to the concentrator. If omitted, the default language will be used in responses. If provided, but the concentrator does not support localization, or the requested language, the default language will also be used.

6.2 Time Zones

Concentrators of larger sub-systems spanning multiple time-zones should specify all timestamps with time-zone information, so readers can perform comparisons of time information.

Information read from a concentrator that lacks time-zone information should be considered to lie in the same time-zone as the reader, unless not explicitly configured with a time-zone.

6.3 Interoperability

For concentrators to be interoperable in sensor networks, they need to adhere to rules and guidelines described in the xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability document.

7.1 Access rights

This document publishes a lot of commands with which to interact with a concentrator. If security and access rights is an issue, it might not be sufficient to allow all friends access to the system. There are many ways in which to restrict access to the contents of the concentrator. Following are some examples:

The concentrator can restrict friendships to trusted friends, and then assign access rights internally to the approved contacts.
The concentrator can use a provisioning server (see Internet of Things - Provisioning (XEP-0324) [15]) to delegate trust to a third party responsible for controlling who can get access to the concentrator (isFriend or canAccess commands), and what items can be viewed (hasPrivilege or downloadPrivileges commands).
All requests to the concentrator can contain the optional attributes deviceToken, serviceToken and userToken. Clients making requests to the concentrator can use these attributes to forward information about who originated the action (userToken), what service is performing the action (serviceToken) or what device is performing the action (deviceToken). The concentrator can use this information to check with provisioning servers what access rights and user privileges exist before performing the action.

7.2 Integration with provisioning servers

The Internet of Things - Provisioning document describes how trust can be delegated to trusted provisioning servers that can be used to restrict access to and privileges in a network.

If a concentrator has a trusted relationship with a provisioning server, external or internal, the provisioning server must be used to guarantee that the concentrator only allows access according to rules defined by the provisioning server. In order to do this, it's important that clients always provide available tokens (userToken, serviceToken and deviceToken) to the concentrator so that it can forward this information to the provisioning server.

The following subsections show different examples of how such an integration can be performed.

7.2.1 Restricting access to data source per contact

This section shows how a provisioning server can be used to restrict access to data sources to users allowed to access those data sources.

Notice the following:

The user has a userToken it received during connection with the service. This user token should be included in all calls made by the user.
The service has a serviceToken it received during service registration. This service token should be aggregated by all calls made by the service.
The concentrators should cache all calls made to the provisioning server according to available cache rules.
The conversion of a Data Source ID to a Privilege ID should be performed according to rules defined in xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability.

7.2.2 Restricting access to node properties per contact

This section shows how a provisioning server can be used to restrict access to node parameters that users allowed to access and edit.

Not that privileges for all parameters needs to be checked in every call. And if lost from the cache, a new request needs to be made to the provisioning server.
The conversion of a Parameter ID (and Page) to a Privilege ID should be performed according to rules defined in xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability.

7.2.3 Restricting access to node commands per contact

This section shows how a provisioning server can be used to restrict access to node commands to users allowed to access those commands.

In addition to rules noted above, also notice the following:

Not that privileges for all parameters needs to be checked in every call. And if lost from the cache, a new request needs to be made to the provisioning server.
The conversion of a Command ID to a Privilege ID should be performed according to rules defined in xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability.
