Custom Sources

Custom sources allow you to define virtual sources that are not connected to a live data device. Instead, you can upload historical trend data via CSV. They’re ideal for use cases such as utility billing records or simulated data.

Sources

The address format for Custom sources is:

custom:<unique_id>

Where unique_id is unique within your project. This value will be autogenerated for you by the tooling when creating a new custom source.

Points

Custom sources only support readonly points. The address format is:

<type>.<object_id>

Examples:

ai.100
bi.25

The supported point types for Custom, along with their type prefix:

Prefix	Point Type
ai.*	Analog Input
bi.*	Boolean Input
ei.*	Multi-State Input
