Create thing type HelloWorld

• add supported property type string hwgreetingLabel (See Thing types)
  • string without space validation regexp ^[^\s]+$
• add supported property type integer hwSayHelloFrequency

Create observation type obsrvHelloWorld

• add supported property type string hwgreetingLabel (See Observations and observation types)
• clone obsrvHelloWorld with name commandHelloWorld

Define observation types produce or consume by HelloWorld

• add obsrvHelloWorldobservation to Observation Production configuration list (See Thing types)
• add commandHelloWorldobservation to Observation Production configuration list
• add observationresourcecrud to Observation Production configuration list
  • enables listen per configuration changes

Implement plugin HelloWorld interface

• create a directory with the thing type name HelloWorld at (See plugin directory )
• at the directory HelloWorld create a javascript file HelloWorld.js
• implement the interface (See How to implement a new plugin)

    function HelloWorld() {
    }

    HelloWorld.prototype.start = function (complete) {
        try {
            complete(null);
        } catch (e) {
            complete(e);
        }
    };

    HelloWorld.prototype.stop = function (complete) {
        try {
            complete(null);
        } catch (e) {
            complete(e);
        }
    };

    HelloWorld.prototype.command = function (observation, complete) {
        try {
            complete(null);
        } catch (e) {
            complete(e);
        }
    };

    module.exports.HelloWorld = HelloWorld;

What helloWorld does?

• send an observation obsrvHelloWorldobservation with the frequency set by the property hwSayHelloFrequency
• change hwgreetingLabel value when receive command obsrvHelloWorld observation
• implement placeholder #{greetingLabel}
• start method
  • create an observation type obsrvHelloWorld at /amtech/things/observations (See Simulator)
  • tip copy observation instance jsonld using jsonld Viewer (See Json Viewer)

    var clone = require('clone');
    var util = require('util');

    function HelloWorld() {
