Gate.

Available device functions

The device can have all the functions listed below or some of them. E.g. if the device cannot be opened at the set percentage, there is no need in including the open_percentage function in its model description.

The device has mandatory functions: online, open_state. In addition, the opening method must be described: open_set, open_percentage, or both.

When using open_set and open_percentage simultaneously, the following rule must be complied with:

• If open_percentage is not equal to zero, then open_set must take the open value. And, vice versa, if the value of open_set is open, open_percentage must be more than zero.
• If open_percentage is equal to zero, then open_set must take the close value. And, vice versa, if the value of open_set is close, open_percentage must be equal to zero.

When changing the values of the open_left_state, open_left_percentage, open_right_state, open_right_percentage functions, those of the open_state, open_percentage functions must change respectively.

Function	Mandatory?	Description
online	✔︎	Device availability: offline or online
open_left_percentage		Device's left side opening, in percent
open_left_set		Device's left side opening
open_left_state		Device's left side opening status
open_percentage	✔︎*	Device opening, in percent. For the device, the opening method must be described: open_percentage, open_set, or both
open_rate		Device opening speed
open_right_percentage		Device's right side opening, in percent
open_right_set		Device's right side opening status
open_right_state		Device's right side opening
open_set	✔︎*	Device opening. For the device, the opening method must be described: open_set, open_percentage, or both
open_state	✔︎	Device opening status
signal_strength		Signal strength

Gate model description example

The model shall be described in accordance with the model structure. The example describes gate equipped with all functions except for the ability to be opened at a set percentage.

Besides, allowed values for the open_ratefunction (device opening speed) of the model are changed: it can be opened at only three speeds; the medium speed is not supported and therefore deleted.

User's gate description example

The device shall be describe in accordance with the device structure. The example contains no gate model description as we believe that models are described independently and the model ID will be enough (in this case, QWERTY124).
