Monitoring / Telemetry

The monitoring and control flow happens entirely in the background, from your cloud to Flip's cloud.

Telemetry

Programs have various telemetry requirements, but for simplicity's sake we merged them into a single interface and expect telemetry for each device to be uploaded at least every 5 minutes. You may send data more frequently if desired.

Some programs require 30 days of data prior to enrollment. For this reason, and in order to speed up enrollment, we recommend sharing telemetry even for devices that are not actively enrolled.

To send telemetry data, use POST /v1/telemetry/BATTERY. This endpoint allows you to send telemetry in batches if you so desire.

Depending on your system's capabilities, we may also be able to fetch this information from your servers every 5 minutes, or we may open up a Kafka or MQTT messaging queue.
