Asset Service Overview¶
An asset is an instance of a model. An asset can be a device, such as a meter. It can also be a physical or logical combination of a group of devices, such as a photovoltaic power plant, or an area where there are multiple assets. With the asset service APIs, you can update and get information for these assets. For more information on models and assets, see Device Connectivity & Management Service.
The APIs in the asset service are some of the APIs EnOS™ provides that cover the core business processes of the system. For more information on EnOS APIs and the different APIs that EnOS provides, see About EnOS API.
For more information on how to invoke EnOS APIs, see Get Started with EnOS API.
Refer to the table below for the list of APIs, and whether they can be used by EnOS Cloud and EnOS Edge.
Note
APIs marked with “(Preview)” are selective opt-in APIs that are ready for you to test and evaluate but not recommended for production use. Contact your sales representative if you are interested in a Preview API.
