Stationary Device
In this segment we are going to show how to build a comprehensive telemetry solution backend for stationary devices using the Connio platform.
Project Scope
We want to build a backend for a weather station device that collects ambient temperature, and humidity data.
We also like to execute the following operational functions remotely:
- set our device's communication frequency;
- restart our device;
- log device CPU load on the platform.
Finally, we like to send a notification to our technical support team's Slack channel every time the device get disconnected or becomes inactive.
Which Connio Modules will be used
- Connio Admin Portal
- MQTT API
- Device Code Example
Requirements
- Connio Admin Portal account
- Basic knowledge about MQTT protocol
