Overview

EMDeviceBasicDescription is a class used to describe basic device characteristics throughout the entire framework. All devices, regardless of connection type, will have these properties.

All classes implementing the EMConnectionType protocol will receive and deliver device information in the form of an EMDeviceBasicDescription.

Tasks

  •   name

    The name of the device used thoughout the framework. Like the unique_identifier, this property needs to be unique.

         property
  •   connectionType

    A concrete EMConnectionType instance that will be used to send messages to the device.

         property
  •   signalStrength

    A value between -100 and 0 used to describe signal strength.

         property
  •   signalStrengthFilter

    The signal strength filter for smoothing

         property
  •   advertiseData

    Data that was discovered along with the device. Ex: When dealing with bluetooth, this is the advertising packet data

         property
  •   advertiseObject

    An object taken from the advertise data based on the advertise resource in the device’s schema Possible classes: NSString, NSNumber, NSDictionary, NSArray, NSData

         property
  •   shortSchemaHash

    The first six characters of the device’s schema

         property
  •   schemaFilePath

    The name of the schema file in your bundle that relates to this device. NOTE: Many devices do not broadcast this information. In this case, this property will not be set
