Struggling with data representation

[ega]

Hi,
The devices may set the timestamp, check the following post →

Is there any way to send data stored offline to Thinger.io

Hi @Tom_Whiting, devices can actually set the timestamp on the bucket, as long as you send it in the payload, i.e., you can use the write_bucket function with a payload like the following: { "ts": 1647289544240, "pressure": 2.33 } (ts is a timestamp field, which holds a unix timestamp in milliseconds: ms from 1/1/1970). The problem here is that the device must use an RTC, and probably use NTP for sync time on boot, but it is feasible. Hope it helps!

On the other hand the recommendation is to send always the whole dataset, it is not a good practice to send 3 values each 15 mins and 4 each hour, this may cause unwanted behaviour.
