Go timers to remove stale sensor stations

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Older project note. Kept for historical context; some implementation details may no longer reflect my current recommendations.

This article introduces Go timers as the mechanism the IoTa gateway uses to identify stale IoT stations. Modifying the Station with with a new Go timestamp field will allow IoTe to determine how long it has been since the last time it has heard from a given Station.

If the last refresh time for a particular station has been longer than the timeout period the Station will be marked as stale.
