Updating time of a property in Thingworx using lua

Hi,

Trying to update time of the property on thingworx using following code

ts = 1578034820000    -epoch unix time in miliseconds

local data = {}
data.value = valore
data.time = ts
data.quality = "Good"
me:setProperty(nome, nil, nil, data)

 

,but except time it is updating value and quality of the property.

 

Tried to update after converting ts into different formats, but in vain.

Thank you!

 

Best Regards,

Naeem

Thank you @c_lowy 

It's really helpful in the use case asked in the question.

In another use case I'd like to update VTQ of the property using updatePropertyValues in Lua Script. I couldn't find any guide to call Thingworx services in agent (LUA EMS).

Hi @mnaeem,

Why do you need to use the updatePropertyValues service instead of of the built in property push mechanism of the EMS/LSR ? What are you trying to implement ?

Hi @smainente 

In the following coding I have many if conditions, and I'd like to decrease lines of my code


lineToRead[i] = array of 3 entries

for i = 1, #lineToRead do
    if lineToRead[2] == "PencilCounter" then
    properties.Signal_Pencil.time = tonumber(lineToRead[1])*1000
    properties.Signal_Pencil.value = tonumber(lineToRead[3])
    log.info(p_data.name, "Signal_"..lineToRead[2].." is "..lineToRead[3])
elseif lineToRead[2] == "RPM" then
    properties.Signal_RPM.time = ........
    properties.Signal_RPM.value = ......

    log.info(p_data.name, "Signal_"..lineToRead[2].." is "..lineToRead[3])
elseif lineToRead[2]=="I15" then
    ....................
elseif lineToRead[2]=="I20" then
    ............. and so on
