1. Realtime Data

Realtime Data shows the thing-model-parsed business values — temperature, humidity, voltage, and so on — with one row per device reflecting its most recent uplink. This is the data view most users interact with day-to-day.

Prerequisite: Realtime Data requires a thing model to parse the payload. If no thing model is assigned to the device, or the parser returns nothing, this view will be empty.


1.1. Interface Overview

Each row represents a device's most recent uplink. Columns correspond to the property fields defined in the thing model.

Click History Data at the end of any device row to jump to that device's historical record query page.


1.2. Empty Data — Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeFix
List is completely emptyNo thing model assignedAssign a thing model to the device in Thing Model Management
Device appears but all values are blankThing model parser returns nothingCheck the parser script; verify the payload format in AS Data
Values not updatingDevice offline or weak signalConfirm uplink packets in NS Data
Data exists but can't find the deviceWrong thing model selected in filterCheck the Thing Model dropdown at the top of the page — select the correct model or switch to "All"

1.3. Telemetry Data vs. Device Parameter Data

The realtime data view contains two categories of fields, distinguished by their naming convention:

Data typeField name patternDescription
Telemetry dataNo PARA in the name — e.g. TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, VOLTAGEBusiness measurement values actively reported by the device on each uplink
Device parameter dataContains PARA — e.g. PARA_REPORT_INTERVAL, PARA_THRESHOLDCurrent device configuration values, updated only when the device responds to a parameter read command (FPort 214)

Common mistake: It is normal for PARA fields to stay unchanged for long periods — parameter values only update when a configuration command is sent and the device replies. If you are looking for the latest sensor readings, focus on fields that do not contain PARA.
