Cloud Sentience Device (nCloudDriver-CloudSentienceDevice)

The cornerstone of the NiagaraCloudNetwork is the CloudSentienceDevice which holds cloud-specific logic regarding which points to send, which histories to send, which CloudConnector to use when sending, as well as how to read messages sent back from the cloud.

The CloudSentienceDevice is configured for the CloudConnector_Sentience which contains the appropriate protocol for connecting to and communicating with the Honeywell Forge cloud platform. Within the CloudSentienceDevice is a specific type of “concrete cloudFactory” which is used to create the messages that this CloudDevice can send. These messages are specifically formatted to work with the cloud platform.

This component is available in the nCloudDriver palette.
