Concepts

A standalone device uses its JID as the address for sensor/control operations. A concentrator operation adds source ID, node ID, and optional partition.

Capability discovery

Query capabilities before calling an interface. A concentrator can expose sensor data, control, node management, commands, queries, events, and troubleshooting features independently.

Extended addressing

Use this tuple as a stable node address inside a concentrator:
Node display names and positions are not identifiers. Persist the full tuple and be prepared for a node-moved event.

Harmonized interfaces

Basic sensor and control models enable human UIs. Harmonized interfaces add agreed machine semantics for a use case. A device advertises the qualified interface identifiers it supports, allowing cross-vendor applications to interpret data without model-specific code.

Bridge pattern

A protocol bridge maps Modbus, MQTT, HTTP, GPIO, files, or another local technology into this model:
Keep protocol-specific identifiers as metadata, while exposing stable Neuro source/node IDs to clients.
