Enable Device
Associated with: MQTT JSON Schema A Device items
Security permission required to access this pick action: Disable Points
Use this pick action to place an MQTT JSON Schema A Device item In Service. Triggering the action changes the Device's configuration so that its In Service property is enabled and the Device becomes active.
When the Device item is enabled, Geo SCADA Expert subscribes to the specified topic for which that device publishes data, and receives the messages that the device publishes for that topic. This occurs providing that both the Broker and Device database items are In Service and have valid, saved, configuration, and Geo SCADA Expert is able to connect successfully to the broker.
The Enable Device pick action is only available for an MQTT JSON Schema A Device:
- That is not In Service
- For which your User Account is allocated the Disable Points security permission.
Also see Disable Device.
If using this pick action with the Automation Interface, you need to specify the method name Enable.
