IoT EIE

The IoT EIE uses the MQTT protocol to subscribe to data that is published to the MQTT server. The IoT EIE must use the MQTT Comm EIE. The devices are non-functional without this exact combination. The EIE does not poll devices; it is a pub/sub protocol. The EIE subscribes to topics and the MQTT server publishes payloads on those topics. CygNet then parses the payload and processes the data.Like most CygNet EIEs, the IoT EIE is a template-driven EIE.

eieType eieType identifies the CygNet EIE type associated with a template (in the deviceDefinition element); it links a device driver with a template. It typically refers to the name of the protocol according to which an EIE conforms. A value includes a CygNet-defined string, up to 20 characters, alphabetical characters only, and no spaces. The default value is supplied in the template and is not typically changed.	IoT
