ot-cli : CoAP with multiple observer and resource per device

[Richard Retanubun]

Hello,

I am trying to prototype an application using ot-cli and its coap commands.

If I am understanding is correct, each device:

• can only publish one resource with coap resource command
• can only observe (i.e. subscribe) to one resource from another node with the coap observe command

Is my understanding correct? or am I missing something in command usage?

Is there plans to add multiple observe point? For a sensor application it is useful for the central device to observe many sleepy-sensors and just get notified when the sensor uses coap set on its published resource.

Thank you for everyone's time

You are correct that the existing OpenThread CoAP CLI only supports publishing a single resource and observing a single resource. However, OpenThread's CoAP API should support publishing multiple resources and observing multiple resources from multiple endpoints. The OpenThread CoAP CLI serves as an example of how to use the OpenThread APIs. I'm not aware of any existing plans to enhance this. However, contributions are always welcome!

Got it. Thanks for the clarification, Jonathan. 

Glad to know that the CoAP API is not limited to single resources.

Makes sense for ot-cli to keep things simple.
