Blecon Events

Events that can be sent from Blecon to your web service

Blecon events are delivered as webhooks to URL destinations based on your networks' filter and route configuration.

Depending on how you have configured your routes, your URL may receive one or more of the following types of events: Deliveries are always an array of events in JSON format.

Note that device.request.* events are delivered immediately and one at a time. All other events are delivered as a batch which may include more than one type of event.

Event Type	Function	Notes
device.request.namespace.method	Device requesting information from a cloud service	A response must be sent. The acceptable response formats are indicated in event data. Always delivered as an array with a single element.
device.message.namespace.method	Device sending a one-way message to the cloud.	More efficient than a request, messages are a good choice for metrics and sensor data.
device.request_failed	Request could not be handled by the route	Indicates a problem with the handler you have configured.
network.routing_failed	Could not find a route for a device event	If a device makes a request and no filter matches it, this event is generated.
network.device_spotted	Device was spotted	Spotted means that although the device did not make a request, it was seen in range of a Hotspot. The rate of spotted events is limited by the network.
network.device_registered	Device was registered on the network	You can use registered and deregistered to trigger provisioning logic in your application.
network.device_deregistered	Device was deregistered from the network
network.protocol_error	Network errors	For debugging and developer information.
