Xlink IoT Agent

Control and query IoT devices and events on the XLink IoT platform via GatewayAppClient with signature-based authentication.

When to Use

✅ Use This Skill When

  • Querying device status and statistics on XLink IoT platform
  • Monitoring device alerts and events
  • Batch querying device attributes (latest values or historical data)
  • Remote control of IoT devices (invoking thing model services)
  • Filtering device data by project/product

❌ Do Not Use This Skill For

  • Other IoT platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Alibaba Cloud IoT, etc.)
  • Direct local device control (not via XLink IoT platform)
  • Historical weather data or severe weather alerts (use weather skill)
  • Non-IoT related device management tasks

Quick Start

1. Set Environment Variables

bash
export XLINK_BASE_URL="https://api-gw.xlink.cn"
export XLINK_APP_ID="your-app-id"
export XLINK_APP_SECRET="your-app-secret"
export XLINK_API_GROUP="your-group-id"

2. Run Commands

bash
cd /path/to/xlink-iot-agent

# Device overview
python scripts/xlink_api.py overview

# Pending events
python scripts/xlink_api.py event-instances --status 1 --limit 20

# Alert statistics (last 24 hours)
python scripts/xlink_api.py alert-statistics

# Device control
python scripts/xlink_api.py device-control \
  --thing-id 10299402 \
  --service device_attribute_set_service \
  --input '{"PowerSwitch":true}'

Python API

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "scripts")
from xlink_api import XlinkIoTClient

# Initialize (reads from environment variables)
client = XlinkIoTClient()

# Device overview
overview = client.get_device_overview(project_id="ab582")

# Device list
devices = client.get_device_list(limit=50)

# Alert statistics
alerts = client.get_alert_statistics(interval="hour")

# Event instances
events = client.get_event_instances(status=[1], limit=20)

# Device control
result = client.control_device(
    thing_id="10299402",
    service="device_attribute_set_service",
    input_params={"PowerSwitch": True}
)

Error Handling

StatusDescriptionSolution
401 UnauthorizedInvalid credentialsCheck App ID/Secret
403 ForbiddenAccess deniedVerify Group ID and permissions
404 Not FoundResource not foundCheck endpoint path or resource ID
429 Too Many RequestsRate limitedImplement exponential backoff retry
500 Server ErrorServer errorRetry later

Best Practices

  1. Use pagination - For large datasets, use --offset and --limit
  2. Filter early - Apply filters (status, device, time) to reduce data transfer
  3. Cache results - Device status changes infrequently; cache for 30-60 seconds
  4. Handle rate limits - Implement exponential backoff for 429 errors
  5. JSON output for scripting - Use --json for programmatic parsing
  6. Debug mode - Use --debug for troubleshooting
