Zusammenfassung: | A method of configuring a device 100 to read data from a sensor 110A-110C, wherein upon determining that a sensor has been connected to an interface of the device, a control script with a set of configuration instructions is sent to the device. The set of instructions are specific to a sensor type of the sensor, and when executed cause the device to read sensor data from the sensor via the interface. The control script may be sent by a remote server 120 and the sensor type may be identified based on an address of the sensor (e.g. an inter-integrated circuit (IC2) address). The interface may be an I2C bus. The address may indicate that the sensor is one of a plurality of candidate types then test scripts may be repeatedly sent to the device and used to collect data from the sensor, until the correct sensir type has been identified. |
