Registering a Device (Verification Code Mode)

Typical Scenario

Before a device accesses the platform by using verification code, an application needs to call this API to register the device with the platform and set a unique identification code of the device (such as the IMEI) as the verification code. Then, the device can use the unique identification code to get authenticated and connect to the platform.

API Function

This API is used by an application to register a device with the platform. After registration, the device can connect to the platform.

API Description

1
def regDirectDevice(self, rddInDto, appId, accessToken)

Class

DeviceManagement

Parameter Description

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

rddInDto

Mandatory

RegDirectDeviceInDTO

body

For details, see RegDirectDeviceInDTO structure.

appId

Optional

String

query

If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to None. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.

accessToken

Mandatory

String

header

This parameter is set to the value of the accessToken obtained by calling the Authentication API.

RegDirectDeviceInDTO structure

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

deviceInfo

Optional

DeviceInfoDTO

Body

Specifies information about the device.

endUserId

Optional

String(256)

Body

Identifies an end user.

In the NB-IoT solution, this parameter is set to the IMSI of the device. In the Smart Home solution, this parameter is set to the application account.

imsi

Optional

String(1-64)

Body

Indicates the IMSI of an NB-IoT device.

isSecure

Optional

Boolean

Body

Indicates whether the device is secure. The default value is false.

  • true: The device is secure.
  • false: The device is not secure.
NOTE:

If a user needs to register a secure device, this parameter must be specified as true.

nodeId

Mandatory

String(256)

Body

Uniquely identifies a device. The value of this parameter must be the same as the device ID reported by the device. Generally, the MAC address, serial number, or IMEI is used as the node ID.

NOTE:

When the IMEI is used as the node ID, the node ID varies depending on the chip provided by the manufacturer.

  • The unique identifier of a Qualcomm chip is urn:imei:xxxx, where xxxx is the IMEI.
  • The unique identifier of a HiSilicon chip is the IMEI.
  • For details on the unique identifiers of chips provided by other manufacturers, contact the module manufacturers.

psk

Optional

String(8-32)

Body

If the pre-shared key (PSK) is specified in the request, the platform uses the specified PSK. If the PSK is not specified in the request, the PSK is generated by the platform. The value is a string of characters, including uppercase letters A to F, lowercase letters a to f, and numbers 0 to 9.

timeout

Optional

Integer(>=0)

Body

Indicates the validity period for device registration. When this API is called to register a device, the device can be bound within the validity period. If the device is not bound within the validity period, the registration information will be deleted.

The value ranges from 0 to 2147483647. If this parameter is set to 0, the device verification code is always valid. (The recommended value is 0.)

The default value is 0. The default value can be configured. For details, contact the platform maintenance personnel.

Unit: second

verifyCode

Optional

String(256)

body

Specifies a unique device verification code. It is recommended that you keep the value of this parameter as the same as that of nodeId. If this parameter is specified in the request, it is returned in the response. If this parameter is not specified in the request, it is automatically generated by the platform.

In the NB-IoT solution, this parameter is mandatory and must be set to the same value as nodeId.

productId

Optional

String(256)

Body

Identifies the product to which the device belongs.

DeviceInfoDTO structure

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

manufacturerId

Optional

String(256)

Body

Uniquely identifies a manufacturer.

manufacturerName

Optional

String(256)

Body

Indicates the manufacturer name.

deviceType

Optional

String(256)

Body

Indicates the device type. The upper camel case is used, for example, MultiSensor, ContactSensor, and CameraGateway.

model

Mandatory

String(256)

Body

Indicates the device model.

In Z-Wave, the format is productType + productId. The value is a hexadecimal value in the format of XXXX-XXXX. Zeros are added if required, for example, 001A-0A12. The format in other protocols is still to be determined.

protocolType

Optional

String(256)

Body

Indicates the protocol used by the device. The value options are CoAP, huaweiM2M, Z-Wave, ONVIF, WPS, Hue, WiFi, J808, Gateway, ZigBee, and LWM2M.

Return Value

RegDirectDeviceOutDTO structure

Parameter

Type

Description

deviceId

String(256)

Uniquely identifies a device.

verifyCode

String(256)

Indicates a verification code that can be used by the device to obtain the device ID and secret. If this parameter is specified in the request, it is returned in the response. If this parameter is not specified in the request, it is automatically generated by the platform.

timeout

Number

Indicates the validity period of the verification code, in seconds. The device must connect to the platform within this period.

psk

String(32)

Indicates a random PSK. If the PSK is carried in the request, this PSK is used. Otherwise, the platform generates a random PSK.
