This is a proposed format for bulk uploading sensors. To be vetted and verified with Ensemble folks.
Sensor | ESID | Name | Lat_longLatitude | Longitude | Reading_types | Depth | Brand | Model | Part_number | hardware_version | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Description | The sensor’s unique external id. This is the identity that will be used to register the sensor with external services and receive readings associated with this sensor. | How the sensor will be labelled in LiteFarm. | The latitude and for the sensor | The longitude for the sensor, comma separated. | Comma delimited list of sensor reading types. Valid values are:
| Assumed to be in cm, only 1 depth per sensor. For this project depths can be 10, 20, 30, 50. | The brand of sensor. | The model of sensor. | ||||

Example | WERKTX | “Sensor 1” | -31.362442522541148, | -64.21047544487595 | soil_water_content, soil_water_potential, temperature | 10 | “Ensemble Scientific” | “Model ABC” | “ESA-12345” | “B” | ||
Notes | For this project, Morten / Mark will provide us this list. | Where the sensor has been placed in the ground. | Where the sensor has been placed in the ground. | Will need to be grouped on the map. This should be default behaviour since sensors are points. | Not needed for registering with Ensemble. | ESCI Add device will fail without this attribute. | ESCI Add device will fail without this attributeWill already be populated in their cloud. | Not needed for registering with Ensemble.

Definition of a sensor: A device with a single id, name, lat / long, and depth. Must have at least one reading parameter, but may have several. Optionally has a brand and model. Ensemble requires a part_number and hardware_version to register it with their service.
