Multiple devices and multiple sources

[lpatiny]

We should plan the the information can come:

• from a MQTT server by subscribing to it
• from a Serial device attached to the computer

There should be a configuration page in which you define all the sources of information

• For a MQTT device we should specify URL, Topic, username, password. We also have 2 different kinds:
  • A server kind that simply submit data. We listen to the data and parse it
  • An interactive device (we can send and receive back messages). In this case the instructions are exactly the same as with a Serial device
• For a Serial device we need to select the port number

Once all the devices are setup we can send the instruction uc to get the 'Compact log'. this will allow to automatically fill the category and also be sure that this device is available. For non interactive device we can simply display the last time we received a packet.

We should create a new menu item called 'Preferences'. There are 4 submenu:

1. General
2. Broadcast devices
3. Interactive devices
4. Local devices

General

Currently this section contains only the following parameters:

Database synchronisation: Those parameters are use to synchronise the data with a remote server

• url
• username
• password

Broadcast devices

A broadcast device is a device that sends a Compact Log

We should be able to add / remove devices. A device contains the following information:

• Custom name: example "Cellarserver" // only allow number / letters / and -. No space. We will use this as DB name
• Kind (select menu). The following values are allowed (based on https://github.com/Hackuarium/legoino-device-information/tree/master/src/devices):
  • value: Computer / label: Computer
  • value: Beemos / label: Beemos
• URL: Example: mqtt.beemos.org
• Topic: Example: "lpatiny/Computer/server"
• Username
• Password

Interactive devices

We should be able to add / remove devices. A device contains the following information:

• Custom name: example "Cellar server"
• Kind (select menu). The following values are allowed (based on https://github.com/Hackuarium/legoino-device-information/tree/master/src/devices):
  • value: SimpleSpectro / label: Spectrophotometer
  • value: OpenBio6 / label: Bioreactor
• URL
• Topic
• Username
• Password

Local devices

Points to clarify :

The sidebar menu is structured like this : _Preferences | General | Broadcast devices | Interactive devices | Local devices

Then when navigating to Broadcast devices for ex, u'll find the list of connected devices (if no device is available, the "Broadcast devices" subMenu will be disabled or we can simply display an empty list)

is this what you were thinking about ?

Disable is ok seems ok to me.
