A measurement is a quantified observation recorded by a device sensor. In an air-conditioning API, each measurement identifies a sensor, reports a numeric value, and supplies a human-readable description. section 12.1
A measurement payload typically includes:
- A sensor name such as ExhaustAirTemp or CoolantTemp. section 12.1
- A decimal value representing the observed quantity. section 12.1
- A description suitable for consumers of the API. section 12.1
- A timestamp and unit identity that locate the observations in time and space. section 12.1
