Pump Device

Device Category: pump

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:

ChannelDescriptionMultipleDetails
switcherRepresents binary switches to control devices like lights, fans, or appliances.NoSee details
device_informationProvides metadata about the device, including manufacturer details, model information, and operational statuses.NoSee details

Optional Channels

These channels are optional and provide additional features:

ChannelDescriptionMultipleDetails
flowMonitors the rate of fluid or air flow, typically measured in cubic meters per hour (m3/h).NoSee details
electrical_energyMeasures the total energy consumption over time, typically reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh).NoSee details
electrical_powerReports real-time power metrics such as voltage, current, and wattage for monitoring and diagnostics.NoSee details
leakIdentifies the presence of water or other liquids to detect leaks and prevent damage.NoSee details
pressureReports atmospheric or liquid pressure values, typically measured in pascals (kPa).NoSee details

Use Case Scenarios

  1. Pump Control:

    • Turn the pump on or off using the switcher channel. Monitor flow rate when available.
  2. Flow Monitoring:

    • Track fluid flow rate and pressure for system health monitoring.
  3. Leak Detection:

    • Detect leaks in the pumping system to prevent water damage.

Developer Notes

  1. The switcher channel is required for on/off control.
  2. Flow and pressure channels provide operational insights.
  3. Leak detection is recommended for safety.
