Data Sources
Data sources are the origin of data which are processed by AIIDA. They have the following responsibilities:
- Gather data from different source protocols (e.g. MQTT or Modbus).
- Provide connection configuration for the data sources via the UI (e.g. host, username, password).
- Parse the data into the internal format used by AIIDA.
- Store data in the database.
- Queue data for further processing by different permissions.

Assets
Assets categorize data sources based on their functional role within the system. The asset types are based on the definitions in the Network Code for Demand Response. The following asset types are supported:
- Connection Agreement Point
- Controllable Unit
- Dedicated Measurement Device
- Submeter
Data source types
There are basic features, which all data sources share, but depending on the protocol used to gather data, some data sources have additional features. The following data source types are supported:
