[0036] To make the features and advantages of this application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The terms "first," "second," "third," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements, but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0038] Next, please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a device management system of a multi-connected centralized control gateway provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the device management system of the multi-connected centralized control gateway includes: a client and a gateway device.

[0039] in:

[0040] The client may include one or more user terminals. A user version of the software may be installed in the client to enable the central gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected by the client to perform data management, troubleshooting, and system optimization on each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. The client may also determine the target broadcast data according to preset rules based on the target information of the client. The target information includes the specified WIFI information of the specified WIFI in the client and / or the target identification information corresponding to the client, and broadcast the above target broadcast data so that the gateway devices that have not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected by the client can connect to the specified WIFI based on the above target broadcast data and join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster managed by the client. The above multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster includes multiple gateway devices, and the above multiple gateway devices are connected to each other through a local area network. The above multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connects multiple outdoor units to the gateway device, each outdoor unit is connected to one or more indoor units, and then connects multiple gateway devices through the network to achieve remote unified control and management of indoor and outdoor units in a region (for example, indoor and outdoor units of air conditioners in a region). The storage space of each gateway device in the above-mentioned multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster stores local data, as well as data of the external unit connected to it and the internal unit connected to the external unit.

[0041] Among them, at least one of the above-mentioned multiple gateway devices will be selected as a central gateway device, that is, a data center node of the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, which is used to bear the basic gateway role and also be responsible for carrying out communications between the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster and the outside world (such as clients). The central gateway device is also used to maintain the normal operation of each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, as well as to store the interaction data between the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster and the client and the operation data corresponding to each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, so as to ensure the security and integrity of the data in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0042] It is understandable that any user terminal in the client can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer or other device installed with the user version software.

[0043] It can be understood that the above-mentioned central gateway device can be the gateway device with the largest storage capacity or the strongest performance among the above-mentioned multiple gateway devices, or it can be any gateway device among the above-mentioned multiple gateway devices or a gateway device specified by the user according to needs, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0044] The gateway device may be a gateway device that has joined the above-mentioned multi-connection centralized control gateway cluster, or a gateway device that has not joined the above-mentioned multi-connection centralized control gateway cluster.

[0045] Specifically, if the gateway device has not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster to which the client is connected, the target network configuration method corresponding to the gateway device can be determined first based on the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device. The target network configuration method includes WIFI configuration or Bluetooth configuration. Then, the target broadcast data broadcast by the client is obtained based on the target network configuration method. Finally, the specified WIFI is connected based on the target broadcast data to join the above-mentioned multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0046] The network can be a medium that provides a communication link between gateway devices, between any gateway device and a client, or can be the Internet, which includes network devices and transmission media, but is not limited thereto. The transmission medium can be a wired link, such as, but not limited to, a coaxial cable, optical fiber, and a digital subscriber line (DSL), or a wireless link, such as, but not limited to, Bluetooth, a near-field communication (NFC) module, wireless fidelity (WIFI), and a mobile device network.

[0047] It can be understood that the number of gateway devices and clients in the device management system of the multi-connected centralized control gateway shown in Figure 1 is only an example. In a specific implementation, the device management system of the multi-connected centralized control gateway can include any number of gateway devices and clients, and the embodiments of this specification do not specifically limit this.

[0048] In practical applications, the network configuration and management of distributed multi-connected centralized control gateways still present numerous challenges. When a gateway lacks wired network access and requires a specific Wi-Fi connection to join a cluster, one-to-one configuration is time-consuming and inefficient for a large number of devices. Traditional gateway configuration often uses a fixed IP address, requiring a direct network cable connection to the gateway and then accessing the fixed IP address for configuration. This is a complex and time-consuming process. In the smart home sector, Wi-Fi configuration is often transferred by connecting the device to Bluetooth or an AP hotspot. While this reduces configuration complexity, it still requires individual configuration for multiple devices, preventing batch operations.

[0049] To solve the above problems, the following describes a device management method for a multi-connected centralized control gateway provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in conjunction with FIG1 . Specifically, please refer to FIG2 , which is a flow chart of a device management method for a multi-connected centralized control gateway provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the device management method for a multi-connected centralized control gateway includes the following steps:

[0050] S201: If the gateway device has not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster to which the client is connected, the gateway device determines a target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device according to a target state of a WIFI module of the gateway device.

[0051] Specifically, after the gateway device is powered on, it will automatically check its own status. If it is detected that the network connection status of the gateway device is not connected, or if it is detected that the IP address of the central gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster does not exist in the database of the gateway device, it can be determined that the gateway device has not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected by the client, and it will be controlled to enter the network distribution mode. If it is detected that the network connection status of the gateway device is connected and it is detected that the IP address of the central gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster exists in the database of the gateway device, it can be considered that the gateway device has joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected by the client, and no further network distribution is required. Subsequently, it is only necessary to perform corresponding management operations according to the management tasks issued by the client forwarded by the central gateway device.

[0052] Specifically, after detecting that the gateway device has not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected to the client and controlling it to enter the network configuration mode, the gateway device will determine the corresponding target network configuration method based on the target state of its WIFI module. The above-mentioned target network configuration method may include but is not limited to WIFI configuration or Bluetooth configuration. For example, but not limited to, when the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device shows that the gateway device has the ability of WiFi network configuration, the target network configuration method corresponding to the gateway device is determined to be WIFI configuration, that is, the gateway device is controlled to enter the WIFI network configuration; when the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device shows that the gateway device currently does not have the ability of WiFi network configuration, for example, the gateway device is already connected to other WIFI, it can be determined that the target network configuration method corresponding to the gateway device is Bluetooth configuration, that is, the gateway device is controlled to enter the Bluetooth network configuration.

[0053] Optionally, as shown in FIG3 , the implementation process of determining the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device according to the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device may include:

[0054] S301, determining whether the WIFI module of the gateway device is in STA mode or does not support sniffer mode.

[0055] Specifically, when the gateway device is in STA mode, its Wi-Fi module is currently operating in wireless terminal mode, connecting to the network through an AP hotspot. In this case, the gateway device cannot implement Wi-Fi network configuration. When the gateway device enters sniffer mode, it will monitor all 802.11 messages in the environment and must poll and monitor on supported channels. If the gateway device does not support sniffer mode, it cannot monitor all 802.11 messages in the environment and cannot implement Wi-Fi network configuration.

[0056] S302: If the WIFI module is in STA mode or the WIFI module does not support sniffer mode, determine that the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is Bluetooth network configuration.

[0057] Specifically, if the WIFI module is in STA mode or does not support sniffer mode, it can be considered that the gateway device currently does not have the WIFI network configuration capability, and the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device can be determined to be Bluetooth network configuration, that is, it is controlled to enter the Bluetooth network configuration.

[0058] S303: If the WIFI module is not in STA mode and supports sniffer mode, determine that the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is WIFI network configuration.

[0059] Specifically, if the WIFI module is not in STA mode and supports sniffer mode, it can be considered that the gateway device currently has WIFI network configuration capability, and the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device can be determined to be WIFI network configuration, that is, it can be controlled to enter the WIFI network configuration.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is determined by the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device, that is, whether it is in STA mode or does not support sniffer mode. Since WIFI network configuration is more efficient than Bluetooth network configuration and the distance between devices supported by the network configuration is farther, WIFI network configuration is given priority when the gateway device currently has WIFI network configuration capability. Only when the gateway device currently does not have WIFI network configuration capability will Bluetooth network configuration be attempted. This can ensure the network configuration efficiency and performance of the gateway device to a certain extent and improve the flexibility of network configuration of the gateway device.

[0061] Next, please continue to refer to FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the device management method of the multi-connected centralized control gateway further includes:

[0062] S202: The client determines target broadcast data according to preset rules based on the client's target information.

[0063] Specifically, the above-mentioned target information includes the specified WIFI information of the specified WIFI in the client and / or the target identification information corresponding to the client. The above-mentioned specified WIFI can be, but is not limited to, the WIFI configured for the gateway device designated by the user as the one to be configured (i.e., not joined to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster), or the WIFI to which the client is currently connected, etc. When the user wants to configure one or more gateway devices to be configured to join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, the client can be triggered based on the target operation (such as but not limited to click, slide, etc.) to determine the corresponding target broadcast data according to preset rules based on the above-mentioned target information, such as but not limited to directly encrypting and encapsulating the specified WIFI information and / or the target identification information corresponding to the client to obtain the corresponding target broadcast data. The above-mentioned target identification information can be, but is not limited to, a specific identifier customized for the client, etc., used to characterize the identity of the client. The above-mentioned specified WIFI information can be, but is not limited to, including the network name and password of the specified WIFI, etc.

[0064] Optionally, the client can determine the corresponding target broadcast data based on the target network configuration method corresponding to the gateway device based on the target information. That is, once the gateway device to be configured has determined the corresponding target network configuration method, it can package the target network configuration method and the identity information of the gateway device together and broadcast it to inform the client of its current target network configuration method, so that the client can subsequently determine the corresponding target broadcast data based on its corresponding target network configuration method.

[0065] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, when the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is WIFI configuration, the client can encrypt and encapsulate the specified WIFI information of the specified WIFI, for example, but not limited to encrypting the network name and password of the specified WIFI and encapsulating it through the user datagram protocol to obtain the corresponding target broadcast data.

[0066] Optionally, as shown in FIG5 , when the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is Bluetooth network configuration, the client may directly add its corresponding target identification information to the broadcast packet to obtain the corresponding target broadcast data.

[0067] It can be understood that when there are multiple gateway devices to be configured with different target network configuration methods, in order to ensure the network configuration efficiency and realize batch configuration of multiple devices to be configured, the above-mentioned client can simultaneously determine the target broadcast data corresponding to the WIFI network configuration and the target broadcast data corresponding to the Bluetooth network configuration according to the implementation process shown in Figures 4 and 5, and broadcast them together to ensure that gateway devices with different target network configuration methods can obtain the target broadcast data that conforms to their corresponding network configuration methods, thereby realizing efficient network configuration.

[0068] S203: The client broadcasts target broadcast data.

[0069] Specifically, after determining the target broadcast data, the client can directly broadcast the target broadcast data so that gateway devices that have not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster can connect to the specified WIFI based on the target broadcast data, complete the network configuration, join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, and directly transmit the target broadcast data through broadcasting. There is no need to wait for the two devices to connect before data transmission, which supports batch configuration of multiple devices at the same time, greatly improving the network configuration efficiency in the case of multiple devices.

[0070] S204: The gateway device obtains the target broadcast data broadcast by the client based on the target network configuration mode.

[0071] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, when the target network configuration mode is WIFI network configuration, the gateway device can be controlled to enter sniffer mode first to monitor all 802.11 messages in the environment, and the gateway device needs to poll and monitor on the supported channels until the target broadcast data broadcast by the client after encrypting and encapsulating the specified WIFI information is obtained, and then the gateway device is controlled to stop channel polling and monitoring.

[0072] It can be understood that in order to determine the accuracy of the target broadcast data obtained by the gateway device and avoid the problem of network configuration failure of the gateway device due to incorrect target broadcast data obtained, the gateway device can stop channel polling and monitoring only after obtaining the target broadcast data broadcast by the client and decrypting and verifying that it is correct, thereby improving the success rate and reliability of network configuration to a certain extent.

[0073] Optionally, as shown in FIG5 , when the target network configuration mode is Bluetooth network configuration, the gateway device may be controlled to start Bluetooth broadcasting, and target broadcast data broadcast by the client with the target identification information of the client added thereto may be obtained based on the Bluetooth broadcasting.

[0074] S205: The gateway device connects to the designated WIFI based on the target broadcast data and joins the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0075] Specifically, after the gateway device obtains the target broadcast data broadcast by the client, it can obtain the specified WIFI information of the specified WIFI according to the target broadcast data, and then connect to the specified WIFI based on the specified WIFI information, complete the network configuration, and join the multi-connection centralized control gateway cluster.

[0076] It can be understood that the above-mentioned gateway devices may include multiple ones, that is, the embodiment of the present application can realize the simultaneous network configuration of multiple gateway devices, that is, batch network configuration. The specific number of gateway devices participating in the network configuration can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0077] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, when the gateway device performs Wi-Fi network configuration, after obtaining the target broadcast data broadcast by the client and stopping channel polling and monitoring, it can switch from sniffer mode to STA mode and connect to the corresponding designated Wi-Fi based on the designated Wi-Fi information encrypted and encapsulated in the target broadcast data, completing the network configuration and allowing the gateway device to join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. Each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster is connected to the same designated Wi-Fi to facilitate batch management of each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0078] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5, when the gateway device performs Bluetooth network configuration, after obtaining the target broadcast data that has been added with the client's target identification information, the gateway device can send a scan request message to the client based on the target identification information. The scan request message carries the identity information of the gateway device. After receiving the scan request message sent by the gateway device based on the client's target identification information, the client will return a corresponding scan response message to the gateway device based on the identity information carried in the scan request message; the scan response message includes the specified WIFI information to be configured. After receiving the scan response message returned by the client based on the scan request message, the gateway device can connect to the specified WIFI based on the specified WIFI information in the scan response message, complete the network configuration, and join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, if the gateway device has not joined the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster connected to the client, the target network configuration mode corresponding to the gateway device is determined according to the target state of the WIFI module of the gateway device, and the target network configuration mode includes WIFI configuration or Bluetooth configuration; based on the target network configuration mode, the target broadcast data broadcast by the client is obtained, and the target broadcast data is determined by the client according to the preset rules based on the target information of the client, and the target information includes the specified WIFI information of the specified WIFI in the client and / or the target identification information corresponding to the client; based on the target broadcast data, the specified WIFI is connected to join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, so that when the gateway device is not networked and joins the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, compared with the network configuration method of a single gateway device one by one, batch network configuration can be performed through WIFI or Bluetooth in a broadcast manner, without waiting for the two devices to connect before data transmission, and without one-to-one configuration of fixed IP addresses, a simple, fast and convenient gateway batch network configuration operation can be achieved, avoiding tedious manual connection and configuration operations, greatly shortening the network configuration time of the multi-connected centralized control gateway device, and improving the network configuration efficiency.

[0080] After the gateway device joins the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, in order to facilitate the management of the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, it is necessary to count the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. The authenticity of the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster often affects the efficiency and accuracy of managing the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. Therefore, in the process of device management of the multi-connected centralized control gateway, it is also necessary to perform certain verification on the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster to ensure management efficiency and accuracy. Specifically as shown in Figure 6, the device management method of the above-mentioned multi-connected centralized control gateway can include the steps shown in Figure 2 to realize the batch configuration of gateway devices to join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, and can also include the following steps:

[0081] S601: The gateway device broadcasts the gateway device information of the gateway device via Bluetooth.

[0082] Specifically, after the gateway device joins the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster network, it will broadcast its own gateway device information via Bluetooth. The gateway device information includes the identity information and IP address information of the gateway device.

[0083] S602: The client determines a gateway device set corresponding to a multi-connection centralized control gateway cluster based on gateway device information of at least one gateway device.

[0084] Specifically, after the client receives the gateway device information broadcast by at least one gateway device via Bluetooth, it can directly determine the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster based on the gateway device information of the above-mentioned at least one gateway device. The above-mentioned gateway device set includes the identity information and IP address information of each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0085] S603: The client performs a connectivity test on each gateway device in the gateway device set, and obtains a connectivity result corresponding to each gateway device in the gateway device set.

[0086] Specifically, the client can send a test message to each gateway device in the gateway device set based on the IP address information of each gateway device to perform a connectivity test on each gateway device, and determine the connectivity results corresponding to each gateway device in the gateway device set based on whether a test response message returned by each gateway device based on the test message is received. In other words, when a test response message returned by a gateway device is received, that is, the gateway device responds to the test message sent by the client, it can be considered that the gateway device and the client are in a connected state. When a test response message returned by a gateway device is not received, that is, the gateway device does not respond to the test message sent by the client, it can be considered that the gateway device and the client are in a disconnected state.

[0087] S604: The client updates the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connection centralized control gateway cluster based on the connection results corresponding to each gateway device in the gateway device set.

[0088] Specifically, the client can remove the gateway devices in the gateway device set that are not connected, so as to obtain the updated gateway device set corresponding to the multi-line centralized control gateway cluster, to ensure that each gateway device in the updated gateway device set can be connected and managed, and avoid the impact of the disconnected gateway devices in the gateway device set on the accuracy and effectiveness of the management of the multi-line centralized control gateway cluster devices.

[0089] Optionally, the above-mentioned connectivity result includes that the gateway device is not connected. In order to avoid the problem that the accuracy of updating the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster is affected by the existence of some gateway addresses that cannot be connected due to network address changes and the like, as well as the inconvenience in managing the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster devices, if there are disconnected gateway devices in the gateway device set, the client can also first perform a device scan based on the target IP segment to obtain the corresponding device scan result. The above-mentioned target IP segment is the IP segment where the client is located or the specified IP segment input by the user based on the client; then, the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster is updated based on the device scan result. That is, in an embodiment of the present application, the IP segment where the client device is located can be searched to find all manageable gateway devices, or the user can manually specify the IP segment to search again, and after finding all gateway devices, the gateway device set (such as but not limited to the gateway list) is updated, thereby realizing rapid and accurate discovery of gateway devices in a complex LAN environment through IP scanning, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of device management.

[0090] In order to achieve more comprehensive multi-connected centralized control gateway device management and improve the flexibility of device management, the device management method of the multi-connected centralized control gateway can include the steps shown in Figure 2 to achieve batch network configuration of gateway devices to join the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster and the steps shown in Figure 6 to achieve the update of the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. In addition, the process shown in Figure 7 can also be used to efficiently and conveniently realize the discovery and aggregation of internal and external machines connected to each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, after the gateway device realizes network configuration and joins the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, the device management method of the multi-connected centralized control gateway can also include the following steps:

[0091] S701: The client sends a device tracking instruction to the central gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0092] Specifically, when the user wants to know the information of the indoor and outdoor devices connected to each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster or wants to manage the indoor and outdoor devices connected to each gateway device, the client can be triggered to send the corresponding device tracking instruction to the central gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster. The device tracking instruction can perform one-click discovery and tracking of indoor and outdoor devices for all gateway devices in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, realizing large-scale device tracking and discovery in a short time, or it can only discover and track indoor and outdoor devices for user-specified gateway devices in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster, so as to improve the flexibility of multi-connected centralized control gateway device management.

[0093] S702: The central gateway device forwards the device tracking instruction to the gateway devices in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster.

[0094] Specifically, when the client performs internal and external machine tracking, the data center (central gateway device) will query the gateway device set corresponding to the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster after receiving the device tracking instruction sent by the client, and at the same time send device tracking instructions to each gateway device in the gateway device set.

[0095] S703 : The gateway device sends a target message to each serial interface of the gateway device and target detection address information in response to the device tracking instruction.

[0096] Specifically, after receiving the device tracking instruction sent by the client and forwarded by the central gateway device, the gateway device can respond to the device tracking instruction and send a target message to each serial interface of the gateway device and the target detection address information. The above-mentioned target detection address information includes the external device address information and the internal device address information accessed by the serial interface.

[0097] Optionally, each serial interface (COM interface) in the gateway device can be connected to one or more target systems (for example, but not limited to eight refrigerant systems), where the addresses of the outdoor unit and indoor unit in each target system are known, for example, addresses 129-132 are outdoor units, and 0-63 are indoor units. After receiving the device tracking instruction, each gateway device can concurrently attempt to send 129 outdoor unit message (target message) detection to the serial interface. If there is no response, it means that the outdoor unit with address 129 does not exist in the target system corresponding to the serial interface. Then, it will continue to try the outdoor unit message (target message) detection with addresses 130-132 under the target system and the indoor unit message (target message) detection with addresses 0-63 in turn until the detection of all addresses of all target systems is completed.

[0098] S704: If the gateway device receives a target response message corresponding to the target message, the gateway device determines target device information of the target device connected to the serial interface based on the target response message.

[0099] Specifically, the target device includes an external device connected to the gateway device and / or an internal device connected to the external device. That is, if the gateway device receives an external device response message corresponding to an external device message, it can determine the device type and device address information of the external device connected to the serial interface based on the detection address of the external device message; and / or if the gateway device receives an internal device response message corresponding to an internal device message, it can determine the device type and device address information of the internal device connected to the serial interface based on the detection address of the internal device message.

[0100] Optionally, in order to achieve more refined device management of the multi-connected centralized control gateway, if the target response message received by the gateway device is an abnormal message, it can be determined that the target device connected to the corresponding serial interface according to the target detection address information corresponding to the target response message is an abnormal device, that is, the target device is recorded as an abnormal device in the target device information corresponding to the target device connected to the serial interface; if the target response message is a normal message, the device type information and device address information of the target device connected to the corresponding serial interface can be determined based on the target detection address information corresponding to the target response message.

[0101] S705 , the gateway device reports target device information of target devices connected to each serial interface of the gateway device to the central gateway device.

[0102] Specifically, after determining the target device information of the target device corresponding to each serial interface of the gateway device, the gateway device may report the target device information to the central gateway device.

[0103] S706: The central gateway device aggregates the target device information reported by each gateway device in the multi-connected centralized control gateway cluster to obtain corresponding target device aggregate information, and returns it to the client.

[0104] Specifically, after the central gateway device receives the target device information reported by each gateway device in the multi-line centralized control gateway cluster, it can summarize it to obtain the target device summary information corresponding to the multi-line centralized control gateway cluster, so that the client can achieve more precise and flexible management of each device in the multi-line centralized control gateway cluster based on the target device summary information.
