Datapoints

• Definition: Measurement data sent from the device to DRIVR.
• Example: The smart socket reported “ON” at 12:00 PM yesterday
• Use Case: Device telemetry, status updates, sensor data.

Setpoints

• Definition: Settings that can be sent both ways—from the device to DRIVR or from DRIVR to the device
• Example: A user sends a command via DRIVR to turn the socket OFF remotely
• Use Case: Remore control, configurations, parameter changes.

✅  In our example, SwitchStatus is a Setting, because

• It tracks the current state of the smart socket (Datapoint)
• It allows user to remotely change the state (Setpoints)

• Datapoint → Data flows from device → to DRIVR (reporting temperature)
• Setpoint → Data flows from DRIVR → to device (changing a thermostat setting).
