Method Detail

• getType

  java.lang.Class<? super T> getType()

  Returns the Java Class for the sensor data.

  This returns a "super" of T only in the case where T is generified, and in such cases it returns the Class instance for the unadorned T --- i.e. for List<String> this returns Class --- this is of course because there is no actual Class<List<String>> instance.

• getTypeToken

  com.google.common.reflect.TypeToken<T> getTypeToken()

  Returns the Guava TypeToken (including generics info)

• getTypeName

  java.lang.String getTypeName()

  Returns the type of the sensor data, as a String representation of the class name. (Useful for contexts where Type is not accessible.)

• getName

  java.lang.String getName()

  Returns the name of the sensor, in a dot-separated namespace.

• getNameParts

  java.util.List<java.lang.String> getNameParts()

  Returns the constituent parts of the sensor name as a List.

• getDescription

  java.lang.String getDescription()

  Returns the description of the sensor, for display.

• newEvent

  SensorEvent<T> newEvent(Entity entity,
                        T value)

  Create a new SensorEvent object for a specific Entity and data point.
