Tutorial Overview


The data received by various sensors such as temperature, wind speed, humidity, etc. can be used to gain many insights on solar plant operations to improve performance. For devices to be able to send data to EnOS, they will first have to be onboarded to the cloud. The traditional method involves manually registering and connecting a device to EnOS from scratch, with code configurations needed which may be difficult to execute for some users. As such sensors required for solar plant sites can reach very high numbers, onboarding them can be time-consuming and prone to errors.


Manufacturers of such sensors can help clients to pre-register the sensors in EnOS with the Device Provisioning Service, after which the clients can easily plug-and-play the sensors on-premise to connect to EnOS and start transmitting data.

Tutorial Objectives


This tutorial shows you how to onboard a device to EnOS using the Device Provisioning Service’s plug-and-play method by configuring and pre-registering a Raspberry Pi on EnOS, setting up the Raspberry Pi, connecting the Raspberry Pi to EnOS, and posting its measurement points. In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

  • Configure and pre-register a Raspberry Pi.
  • Set up the Raspberry Pi.
  • Configure and connect the Raspberry Pi to EnOS.
  • Post the measurement points to EnOS.

Prerequisites


  • Ensure that you have registered a personal or business account with EnOS to access the EnOS Management Console.
  • Ensure the account has all the access for Asset and Model, and full access for Device Management Service. For more information, see Policies, Roles, and Permissions.
  • Ensure that your OU has purchased the Device Provisioning Service application.
