Registering new sensors¶
From the “services” drop down button choose the “demo” instance.
Some advices:
Warning
- Once a procedure is created the outputs (observed properties) cannot be changed.
- Before registering new sensors it’s advised to initialize missing observed properties and unit of measures.
- Procedures with multiple observed properties: Is it possible to add new procedures observing more than one properties, but in istSOS this means that for each observation instant we have a list of all the observed properties values. e.g.: if a procedure that observes temperature (T), humidity (H) and rain (R) is created the time series will always have a list of 3 values [T,H,R] for each instant. If you try to insert an observation with two only values it will raise an exception
Add the procedure GRABOW with multiple observed properties (sensor station)¶
Let’s use the following settings for the station in GRABOW
| Name: | GRABOW |
| Description: | Enorasis Meteo Station in Grabow, Poland. |
| Keywords: | weather, meteorological,IUNG-PIB |
| System type: | insitu-fixed-point |
| Sensor type: | Meteo Station |
| FOI name: | GRABOW |
| EPSG: | 4326 |
| Coordinates: | x: 22.67 y: 51.25 z: 177 |
Add relative humidity
| Observed property | urn:ogc:def:parameter:x-istsos:1.0:meteo:air:humidity:relative |
| Unit of measure: | % |
| Description: | |
| Quality index check: | Between / from 0 to 100 |
Add air rainfall
| Observed property: | urn:ogc:def:parameter:x-istsos:1.0:meteo:air:rainfall |
| Unit of measure: | mm |
| Description: | |
| quality index check: | Between / from 0 to +500 |
Add air temperature
| Observed property: | urn:ogc:def:parameter:x-istsos:1.0:meteo:air:temperature |
| Unit of measure: | °C |
| Description: | conversion from resistance to temperature |
| Quality index check: | Between / from -40 to +60 |
Add wind velocity
| Observed property: | urn:ogc:def:parameter:x-istsos:1.0:meteo:air:wind:velocity |
| Unit of measure: | m/s |
| Description: | |
| Quality index check: | Between / from 0 to 200 |
Add solar radiation
| Observed property: | urn:ogc:def:parameter:x-istsos:1.0:meteo:solar:radiation |
| Unit of measure: | W/m2 |
| Description: | |
| Quality index check: | from 0 to +500 |
Optional parameters fill at your own need and willing
Note
Register the new sensor (procedure) pressing the “submit” button.
Add other procedures¶
In order to speed up the “boring” process of inserting all the other procedures we have prepared a script. Open a terminal and run:
cd ~/Desktop/Tutorial
python fill/execute.py
Note
Feel free to analyze the code to understand the process and eventually create your own script to import new sensors in the istSOS server.
Verify the inserted procedures using the administration interface¶
Check your procedures by accessing the “Procedures” panel. You will see a table showing an abstract of all the inserted procedures. By clicking on the name you will be able to enter the details metadata that you configured during the procedure registration.
Note
The “Procedures” panel not only allows for procedures and metadata exploration but also allows details modification. The only exception are the outputs parameters.
Verify the inserted procedures using the Sensor Observation Service requests¶
Let’s execute a getCapabilities request to verify if procedures are now available:
http://localhost/istsos/demo?request=getCapabilities§ion=contents&service=SOS
Let’s execute a describeSensor request to verify that the procedure description is available:
repeat for procedures: P_LUGANO, LOCARNO, BELLINZONA, GRABOW, RH_GNOSCA.
