Schedule the Publication of Readings

The following table describes the configuration variables that can be used with each object in the array of objects of the Schedules parameter:

Parameter	Type	Description	Valid Values	Required
device	String	The name of the device providing readings, as configured in the Devices parameter	A valid device name	Y
resource	String	The name of the device resource to publish, as configured in the Devices parameter	A valid device resource	Y
interval	Unsigned Integer	The interval in microseconds between the publication of each reading		Y
topics	Array of strings	The topics on which to publish readings		N

For further information on the Schedules and Devices parameters, see Device Service Component Configuration.

Schedule Configuration Example

The following example JSON configuration file configures a schedule for readings from the Modbus Network Power Meter Simulation device:
