Unit Set
Definition
when a Message is received from a Device, data is sent as simply numbers or values. In order for the data to be better understood, a Unit can be added. Units are labels such as Fahrenheit, Kilograms, or Watts. NuvIoT has the ability to manage multiple unit definitions within a unit set, such as Fahrenheit and Celsius, and is able to convert between those units.
Example
The Plymouth Iot Conveyor Belt sent a Message with a payload of {temperature:425}. The number 425 was saved in the Device Repository as 425° Fahrenheit. The temperature could also be displayed as 218° Celsius.
