static	getSensorsByStationId ()

Detailed Description

This class lets you retrieve information about sensors.

The terminology is as follows:

• A sensor is a physical sensor (e.g., a Sensirion SHT75)
• A measurement is a value returned by a sensor (e.g., the temperature)

A sensor can return multiple measurements (a Sensirion SHT75 returns both the air temperature and the air humidity). Each tuple {sensor, measurement} has a unique id, i.e., the temperature returned by a Sensirion SHT75 has a different id from the temperature returned by a Decagon VP-3.

Member Function Documentation

static sensors::getSensorsByStationId ( )

static

Get the list of sensors installed on a station during a given time interval.

Parameters

int	stationId	Station Id
int	from	Begining of the time interval in epoch time
int	to	End of the time interval in epoch time

Returns

An array of objects such as:

Property	Type	Description
id	int	Measurement id
catId	int	Id of the category the measurement falls in (e.g., data::CAT_HEALTH_SYSTEM)
slot	int	Number of the slot the sensor is installed on
sensor	string	Name of the sensor (e.g., "Apogee SI-11")
name	string	Name of the measurement (e.g., "temperature")
order	int	Preferred display order of the measurement for that sensor (lower value is higher priority)
visible	boolean	Whether the measurement is visible to the user (e.g., see account::setOwnMeasurementHidden)
units	string	Units of the sensor (e.g., "°C")

Note

The array is sorted by (category, slot, sensor, order, name).

The name of the measurements are automatically translated into the the user's current language (see account::getOwnSettings).
