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

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

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}'

Common Query Examples

Device Overview

python scripts/xlink_api.py overview

Output:

==================================================
📊 XLINK Device Overview
==================================================

   📱 Total Devices:    7823
   🟢 Online:           143 (1.8%)
   ✅ Activated:        6756 (86.4%)
   ⚫ Offline:          7680
   ⏸️  Not Activated:   1067

Pending Events

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

Alert Overview

python scripts/xlink_api.py alert-overview

Device List (with Filtering)

# Filter by project
python scripts/xlink_api.py device-list \
  --query '{"logic":"AND","device":{"project_id":{"$eq":"XJA1JJAJA"}}}' \
  --limit 20

# JSON output
python scripts/xlink_api.py device-list --limit 20 --json

Device Control

# Set attributes
python scripts/xlink_api.py device-control \
  --thing-id 10299402 \
  --service device_attribute_set_service \
  --input '{"ColorTemperature": 8}'

# With command cache (10 minutes)
python scripts/xlink_api.py device-control \
  --thing-id 10299402 \
  --service device_attribute_set_service \
  --input '{"Brightness": 100}' \
  --ttl 600

Control Response Codes:

Code	Description
`200`	✅ Success - device responded
`202`	⏸️ Device offline - command not sent
`408`	⚠️ Connection closed - device sleeping
`503`	❌ Control failed

Python API

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

Status	Description	Solution
`401 Unauthorized`	Invalid credentials	Check App ID/Secret
`403 Forbidden`	Access denied	Verify Group ID and permissions
`404 Not Found`	Resource not found	Check endpoint path or resource ID
`429 Too Many Requests`	Rate limited	Implement exponential backoff retry
`500 Server Error`	Server error	Retry later

Best Practices

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