In case the product uses several configuration parameters, Recipes can be used to store snapshots of a set of values covering a specific working case.

For instance:

• Slow Profile: a set of parameters values allowing the machine to work slow (slow velocity, high quality)

• Fast Profile: a set of parameters values allowing the machine to work fast (high velocity, low quality)

Creating a Recipe

To add a new Recipe to a Thing Definition, you should:

1. Enter the Remote Control / Recipes page.

2. Select the Thing Definitions tab.

3. Select the Thing Definition to edit.

4. Press the Add Recipe button.

5. Provide the required information.

6. Press the Save button and edit the additional information, if needed.

Editing a Recipe

A Recipe is described by:

• Name: the name which is visible to the user in order to select a recipe to apply (e.g. Summer Mode).

• Description: the text describing the recipe purpose (e.g. The set of parameters to be used during the Summer period).

• Parameters: the set of thing-definition parameters and values to be applied.

In addition to manual input, you can also use import/export based on CSV to perform bulk update of the parameters involved in a recipe.

Using Recipes

Within the PDS, users can select and apply recipes to remote products using the Recipe List widget.

Recipe Remote Update

Connected products can save recipes directly on the cloud by using a specific MQTT System Request.
