Limits for Tags, Environment Variables and Device Parameters

General Announcements
1

Hi everyone,

Many of our developers use the Tag system, Device parameters, and Environment variables within TagoIO to create IoT solutions, enabling them to explore a wide range of possibilities.

However, each features has specific limits in place to ensure the optimal performance of our services. Please take note of the following limitations for each function:

Tags System

In a nutshell, Tags are key-value pairs that you can use to add metadata to any TagoIO asset. It helps you organize and identify your assets by attributes like name, location, customer, type, trigger, action, etc.

You can assign up to 30 tags to each asset in TagoIO. Assets include Devices, Actions, Analysis, Dashboards, and Access.

Environment Variables

It allows you to send variables value to your Analysis’s context, using these variables as “environment” parameters in your script.

You can have up to 20 environment variables for each Analysis.

Configuration Parameters for Devices

Work as key-value pairs that can be used to customize the behavior of your Devices, such as how they decode data, send downlink messages, or update the firmware.

The maximum number of parameters per device is 60.

Do you have any questions on how to use these features? Check out our Knowledge Base!

Hi Phill,

Thank you for the information. I have a question about metadata, is there also a limit on it? If so, how much are we talking about? I have a project where I use metadata to store the results calculated by an analysis in JSON format, but I’m getting a warning that there is a limit, but it doesn’t tell me how much.

Hi Loratech!

At the moment the limit is 10kb. This might interest you.

Dear Phil,

In the anoucement i see line - The maximum number of parameters per device is 60.

Has something change recently or it is a bug ?

We cannot assign more then 20 parameteres.

Hi Patryk!

When we made this announce, the maximum number of parameters per device was 60, although, along the way during the last months, we changed this value to 20. I updated the topic to reflect the reality.

We’re sorry for misleading you and causing you to recalculate your strategy for your project.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Patryk,

Please ignore my last message; I was mistaken.

The maximum number of device parameters is indeed 60. The issue is that there a bug that prevents adding more than 20 parameters. Our team will be fixing this very soon.

You can still add more parameters through our API.

Thank you for reporting this! Sorry for the confusion ><
