3 Data Upload Simulation

This tutorial mainly introduces how to simulate data upload by using API testing tool. Hardware No hardware is required. Only simulate data upload by API testing tool provided by Devicebit platform. Procedure： 1 Sign up a DeviceBit Account (www.devicebit.com)

Pic.1 Sign Up

3.1 Add My Device, Sensors: Humidity and Temperature

(The steps are as follows. Note: note down the ID, for it will be used in Api calling.)

3.2 Add A Device

After login, go to My Devices -> Devices->Add a Device First, click on Devices -> Add A Device , as the picture1 below. After entering the related information, click on Save.

3.3 Add Humidity

The next step is to add the humidity sensor. Go toMy Devices-> Sensors&Controllers->Sensor, click on Add.

Pic.3 Sensors Then there will be the Add A Sensor page.

Pic.4 Add Humidity

3.3 Add Temperature

Add the Temperature sensor in the same way. Please see the following picture.

Pic.5 Add Temperature After setting up, as picture 5 shows, note down the ID because it will be used in Api calling.

Pic.6 Sensor ID

3.4 Data Simulation

Now, let's move on to simulate data upload by using Api testing tool. At the home page (the website is www.devicebit.com) click on Documentation

Pic.7 Home Page and then go to API Directory-> Sensor ->Upload Sensor Data

Pic.8 API Directory Website https://www.devicebit.com/dev/apitest/203

Pic.9 On-line test

Click on on-line test

Pic.10 API Testing Tool

Enter your Userkey Enter Device ID at API URL http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/{device ID} （01 for exampe） After entering the device ID, the APIURL is: http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/01

Pic.11 Userkey & Device No.

Change T1 to Temperature for Name; change 1 to 32 for Value*; Change 01H1 to Humidity for Name; change 96.2 to 75 for Value.

Pic.12 Post Data

Click on Run, and then the request detail will be displayed.

Pic.13 Request Detail

At last, Go to My IOT -> Sensors&Controllers->Sensor List, you will see the following value.

Pic.14 The Value Well Done! Your data upload is successfully simulated by using API testing tool!
