With this plugin you can
Sensors simulation
You can simulate user’s movements inside your environment. First of all add an “user” thing to the map.
Add an user to the map
Each user thing on the map is moved to a random position with a time interval specified by the sleep-time property.
| Property | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| sleep-time | 2000 |
This plugin reads user’s positions from a file.
This file, located under FREEDOMOTIC_ROOT/plugins/devices/simulation/data/motes, has .mote extension and its name must reflect the user thing one (e.g. if the user is named admin the tracking file must be admin.mote.
We have two options for the positions: coordinates or room/zone names.
In the first case the .mote file has the following data format [x coord, y coord, time in ms].
300,250,2000
450,390,5000
Alternatively you can use the format [room name, time in ms].
Kitchen,2000
Bedroom,5000
House,3000
Mote file example (room/zone format)
In every case each row represents a different movement.
Tracking log
In the previous example the user thing is moved to the Kitchen where it stays for 2 seconds then goes to the Bedroom and after 5 seconds to the House. The last zone House doesn’t exist so it’s skipped.
| Property | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| data-type | data format in the .mote file | coordinates | rooms |
| iterations | how many times the movements sequence must be executed | any integer > 0 |
