Sensor library

Cumulocity IoT includes a sensor library to model specific sensing and controlling skills across device products. A single device can have many sensor and control characteristics. The sensor library covers basic sensors and controls, and is supported by the Cumulocity IoT client libraries. It also enables writing powerful generic IoT software plugins. Technically, the sensor library defines standard fragments for inventory, measurements, events and device control, following the naming convention.

Smart rules

Cumulocity IoT includes a rule engine to analyze data in realtime and to perform actions based on data. To easily create rules, the Cockpit application includes a “smart rules” builder which allows you to create rules from templates (so-called smart rule templates).

For details see Application enablement & solutions > Cockpit > Smart rules.

Standard tenant

A tenant type in the Cumulocity IoT tenant hierarchy.

At the bottom of the tenant hierarchy you can find single tenants which are represented by the concept of Standard tenant. A Standard tenant offers most of the device management and monitoring functionality of the Cumulocity IoT platform, but has certain limitations when it comes to administrative aspects.

See also Enterprise tenant and Management tenant.

Subscription

The application concept of Cumulocity IoT includes a basic application marketplace. Tenants can be subscribed to applications which have been deployed by their superior tenant (Management tenant or Enterprise tenant). Granting access to subtenants and subscribing to applications is done in the Administration application.
