+
== Implementation notes ==
+
*M2MBridge is an open source stack developed by the AMTEch team; it discovers, loads nodes modules implementing "M2MBridge plugin interface" and creates thing types instances (See [[Activities#Thing types|Thing types]]) tacking into account the observation production configuration (See [[Activities#Observation production configuration|Observation production configuration]]) and M2MBridge credentials (See [[Access control#Actors|Actors]] and [[M2M Bridge#Edge Configuration|Edge Configuration]]).
+
**It leverages AMTech IoT DAP (See [[Integration Guideline|Integration Guideline]])
+
***Gets observation production configuration (See [[Integration Guideline#DAP Restful API#Get observation production configuration|Observation production configuration API]])
+
***Gets thing types instances (See [[Integration Guideline#Get instances by thing type|Observation instances API]])
+
***Creates a web socket to receive asynchronous commands and thing instances changes (crud operations) (See [[Integration Guideline#Commands|CRUD and Commands API]])
+
****Dispatch command observations to plugin instance leveraging thing type instance @id (See [[Activities#Thing types|Thing types]])
+
****Restart instance when supported properties change by calling stop and star plugin interface
+
***Creates configuration information for Thing type leveraging configuration information and client side M2MBridge placeholders (See [[Activities#Observation production configuration|Observation production configuration]] and [[Sensor's network#Placeholders|Placeholders]])
+
***Load plugin nodes modules required by configuration
+
***Creates an instance of plugin for each type from observation production configuration leveraging thing type instance @id (See [[Activities#Thing types|Thing types]])
+
****JavaScript object is extended with the properties values from the thing instance (See [https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge/blob/master/plugins/SNMPDevice/SNMPDevice.js plugin example] )
+
****Properties and methods are injected like common logg for m2mBridge plugins, methods to send observations with and without transformation, methods for restarting, observation production configuration and others (See [https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge/blob/master/plugins.js for details]
+
****If instance does not exist at the server side execute auto discover process from bridgeConfig.json can be configured (See [[M2M Bridge#Edge Configuration|Edge Configuration]])
+
***Creates a centralized observation dispatcher with persistence to ensure:
+
****Observations delivery in the order that observations occurred .
+
 
+
== How to implement a new plugin ==
+
*Clone git repository (https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge.git)
+
**at /.../M2MBridge/plugins create a directory that matched with the Thing type name to bridge example SNMPDevice (See [[Activities#Thing types|Thing types]])
+
*Create a thing type XXXDevice (See [[Activities#Thing types|Thing types]])
+
*Create the observations type the thing XXXDevice produces or consumes, example XXXDeviceObserv1 (See [[Sensor's network#Observations and observation types|Observations and observation types]])
+
*Associate the observation XXXDeviceObserv1 type to the XXXDevice
+
*Implement a nodejs module with the following interface
+
    function XXXThing() {
+
    }
+
    XXXThing.prototype.start = function ( complete) {
+
        try {
+
            complete(null);
+
        } catch (e) {
+
            complete(e);
+
        }
+
    };
+
    XXXThing.prototype.stop = function (complete) {
+
        try {
+
            complete(null);
+
        } catch (e) {
+
            complete(e);
+
        }
+
    };
+
    XXXThing.prototype.command = function (observation, complete) {
+
        try {
+
            complete(null);
+
        } catch (e) {
+
            complete(e);
+
        }
+
    };
+
    module.exports.XXXThing = XXXThing;
+
 
+
== How to install it ==
+
*Clone git repository (https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge.git)
+
*Install nodejs https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
+
*Install npm (http://blog.npmjs.org/post/85484771375/how-to-install-npm)
+
*Delete at /.../M2MBridge/plugins/xxx unneeded plug-ins
+
*Install packages for m2mBridge core and plug-ins (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install:)
+
*Execute npm install at:
+
**M2MBridge directory
+
**each plug-in directory
