Pump Device

The Pump device represents a water or fluid pump with functionality for flow control, monitoring, and energy tracking.

Required Channels

These channels are mandatory for the functionality of the pump device:

Optional Channels

These channels are optional and provide additional features:

Use Case Scenarios

1. Flow Control:

   • Use the switcher channel to start or stop the pump.
   • Monitor the rate of fluid flow via the flow channel.

2. Energy and Pressure Monitoring:

   • Track real-time power usage and energy consumption with the electrical_power and electrical_energy channels.
   • Ensure proper pump operation by monitoring the fluid pressure through the pressure channel.

3. Safety and Leak Detection:

   • Use the leak channel to detect potential leaks in the system and take corrective action.

4. Device Metadata:

   • Access pump-specific information such as manufacturer, model, and firmware through the device_information channel.

Developer Notes

1. Channel Implementation:

   • Implement all required channels for basic pump functionality.
   • Add optional channels for energy monitoring, safety, and operational enhancements if supported by the hardware.

2. Integration:

   • Ensure the switcher channel directly controls the pump’s operation.
   • Include the device_information channel for proper identification and metadata access.

3. Extensibility:

   • Optional channels like leak, pressure, electrical_energy, and electrical_power can enhance the device’s utility for monitoring and safety.
