Automate Things creation from Kepware Industrial connection thing

Hi @nhksrd.

Since we've received no responses on this, I reached out to someone on the support team that I thought might be able to provide some guidance.  Here is the response I received:

"For your community post. That is a bit of a tough one. I have not messed with automatically creating Industrial Things previously.

First thing is to differentiate between the Industrial Gateway and the Industrial Thing (Remote Things). Industrial Gateway is the connection to Kep and the Remote Things are what they want to create automatically. 

The approach may be to detect when the Industrial Gateway connects and then fire a subscription that goes and creates Things, skipping the Things if they already exist. One catch would be how their channels/tags are configured in Kep. That is to say how do they want their actual Remote Things to be created. What are we basing the remote thing on? Is it one remote thing per channel in Kepware? One per a specific set of Tags?

We would have to get the list of channels and tags then iterate over them, attempting to create a Thing with the desired remotely bound properties for each iteration."

This might be suitable for a case, but depending on how complicated it is, it may be necessary for you to contract with a consultant.  If you're interested in doing so, you may reach out to our Sales team for making the arrangements.

Regards.
