Referencing the Redfish Data Model Specification 2023.3 hereUnder the property 6.30 Control 1.5.0 There is the property ControlMode that currently has the property details/enumeration: Automatic Override Manual Disabled Could an addition be made to the enumeration to have Enabled as well? There are many instances where an Enabled state makes the most sense over an Automatic mode. Many sensors are either powered on or off and do not have any kind of "automated logic" inside of them. |

The "Enabled" state for a Sensor makes sense (and we have that), but for a Control - we didn't want to have that generic term because it doesn't an indication of what the control is actually doing. Can you give an example of a control that doesn't fit easily into either an "automatic" or "manual" enabled / normal running state? Our examples would be a thermostat (automatic) vs a volume control (manual - user sets the volume and there no further action by the control system).

Our examples would be a thermostat (automatic) vs a volume control (manual - user sets the volume and there no further action by the control system). An example of 'Enabled' would be binary devices. Such as an alarm being enabled ON or disabled OFF. Devices that are very plain, such as a thermostat sensor that just uses resistance to measure temperature. There is no inner digital logic inside of it, the device itself is entirely analog. For such simple devices there isn't any automated logic driving the device. The word automatic implies there is some kind of PID or algorithm that's driving the control of a device like a pump or motor, we're looking to avoid discussions from customers about how something along the lines of a lightbulb isn't automatically driven by anything other than high and low voltage. This would follow the conventional options already seen in CDU's. I would think of a car's headlights, you can enable the 'automatic' mode on them where they will sense light and shut off the high beams when another car is detected. The optosensor's logic is driving the system. 'Enabled' would be simply blasting your high beams regardless of your surroundings. |
