Access device claiming timestamp

[dmohns]

Component

• Rule Engine

Description

I would like to access the timestamp when a device was claimed by a customer. In my use-case devices may send telemetry way before they are getting claimed by a customer. As result, the devices already exist as entities in the Thingsboard backend.

Options considered:

• Accessing the devices first telemetry. This doesn't work in my use case as there might be a long time between the two events
• Customising rule the rule chain to set a (server side) attribute upon claiming. This would be my preferred option. Unfortunately, I couldn't work out which part of the default rule chain handles device claiming (if the default rule chain is even involved)

Environment

• OS: MacOS 14.4.1
• ThingsBoard: 3.6.3
• Browser: Chrome Version 124.0.6367.208 (Official Build) (arm64)
