Question

Implementing Smartphone Notification

Hello

I'd like to make an app that notifies event triggered by a service of event/subscripttion/service or something.

So I planned to use Firebase to satisfy the objective.

Arduino Yun - (REST call with curl) - Thingworx - (value exceeds limit, event triggered) - (_send event happened_) - Firebase --- Smartphone

But I can't found how Thingworx send REST httprequest to external service.

If not available, I'd like to know how to implement an app with notification feature.

Thank you.

Hi Hyeuntae


This is  how to allow all REST calls through browser URL


    1. Click on Subsystems under SYSTEM within the left pane of Composer
    2. Click on PlatformSubsystem
    3. Click on Configuration
    4. Check the box next to Allow Request Method Switch to allow all REST API calls through a browser URL
    5. Uncheck Filter Content-Type
  • ​Note: This method is not to be practiced within a production environment and provides for a very insecure implementation of the Thingworx  platform

Also the following cURL command can be used to send / update properties via a PUT request to the ThingWorx Server:

curl -X PUT <AUTHOPTION> -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"<PROPERTYNAME>":"<PROPERTYVALUE>"}' "http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/Thingworx/Things/<THINGNAME>/Properties/*"

Where:

<AUTHOPTION> is replaced with authentication credential option (-u username:password), or App Key header option (-H "header")

Authenticate using username / password (Note: No quotes!):

-u <Username>:<password>

Authenticate using appKey (Note double quotes):

-H "appKey: <appKey>"

<PROPERTYNAME> is replaced with the name of the property to update

<PROPERTYVALUE> is replaced with the value of the property.

<HOSTNAME> is replaced with the hostname of the ThingWorx server

<PORT> is replaced with the port that the ThingWorx server is running on.

:<PORT> can be omitted from the URL if ThingWorx is running on a standard HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443) port.

<THINGNAME> is replaced with the name of the Thing to update.

For connections to an SSL server with a self-signed certificate, you may need to include the -k flag if the certificate is not trusted.

For useful diagnostic output on the status of the request and the response sent back to the cURL command, add the -v flag to the command.

Sample output:

> PUT /Thingworx/Things/PTC.OSLC.Configuration/Properties/* HTTP/1.1

> Authorization: Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjphZG1pbg==

> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0

> Host: 127.0.0.1:7000

> Accept: application/json

> Content-Type: application/json

> Content-Length: 20
