FAQ

Questions ThingsBoard owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I check the latest sensor readings for a specific device?

    Yes. Use the get_telemetry capability by providing the entity type and ID. The agent will return the most recent time-series data points recorded for that device.

  • 02

    Is it possible to trigger a physical action on a device, like turning on a light?

    Absolutely. You can use send_oneway_rpc for simple commands or send_twoway_rpc if you need to wait for a confirmation response from the device hardware.

  • 03

    How do I find all devices that currently have active critical alarms?

    You can use the find_alarms capability with a query body specifying the severity as 'CRITICAL' and status as 'ACTIVE_UNACK' or 'ACTIVE_ACK'.
