Properties

Readonlyname

name: string

The name of the resource.

Methods

doCommand

  • doCommand(command: Struct): Promise<JsonValue>

    Send/Receive arbitrary commands to the resource.

    Parameters

    • command: Struct

      The command to execute.

    Returns Promise<JsonValue>

    Example

    const result = await resource.doCommand({
      name: 'myCommand',
      args: { key: 'value' },
    });

getCurrent

  • getCurrent(extra?: Struct): Promise<readonly [number, boolean]>

    Get Current in amps and a boolean indicating whether the voltage is AC (true) or DC (false).

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<readonly [number, boolean]>

    Example

    const powerSensor = new VIAM.PowerSensorClient(
      machine,
      'my_power_sensor'
    );
    const [current, isAc] = await powerSensor.getCurrent();

    For more information, see Power Sensor API.

getPower

  • getPower(extra?: Struct): Promise<number>

    Get power in watts.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<number>

    Example

    const powerSensor = new VIAM.PowerSensorClient(
      machine,
      'my_power_sensor'
    );
    const power = await powerSensor.getPower();

    For more information, see Power Sensor API.

getReadings

  • getReadings(extra?: Struct): Promise<Record<string, JsonValue>>

    Return the readings of a sensor.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<Record<string, JsonValue>>

    Example

    const powerSensor = new VIAM.PowerSensorClient(
      machine,
      'my_power_sensor'
    );
    const readings = await powerSensor.getReadings();

    For more information, see Power Sensor API.

getVoltage

  • getVoltage(extra?: Struct): Promise<readonly [number, boolean]>

    Get voltage in volts and a boolean indicating whether the voltage is AC (true) or DC (false).

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<readonly [number, boolean]>

    Example

    const powerSensor = new VIAM.PowerSensorClient(
      machine,
      'my_power_sensor'
    );
    const [voltage, isAc] = await powerSensor.getVoltage();

    For more information, see Power Sensor API.
