Setup

The Device Setup Feature within the application provides users with the capability to configure their devices to communicate with the ApiroData ecosystem. This feature is crucial for integrating external devices and sensors into the system, enabling seamless data flow and analysis. There are two primary protocols supported for device communication: HTTP API and MQTT.

1. HTTP API Protocol:

For scenarios where data needs to be fetched from a third-party API, users can select the HTTP API protocol. This protocol requires specific details to establish communication, including:

• URL: The endpoint of the third-party API from which data will be fetched.

• TOKEN: Authentication token or credentials required to access the API securely.

• HTTP METHOD: The HTTP method to be used for data retrieval, such as GET, POST, PUT, etc.

Additionally, the HTTP API protocol offers an advantage for data processing. Users can leverage the Third-Code Integration feature to process the fetched data. With Third-Code Integration, users can upload custom scripts or files, allowing them to manipulate and analyze the data according to their specific requirements.

2. MQTT Protocol:

Alternatively, users can opt for the MQTT protocol for device communication. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight messaging protocol ideal for IoT applications. When selecting MQTT, users are provided with MQTT details necessary for configuring their devices to push data to the ApiroData ecosystem. These details typically include:

• MQTT Broker Address: The address of the MQTT broker server. (Autogenerated by code)

• MQTT Port: The port number used for MQTT communication. (Autogenerated by code)

• MQTT Credentials: Username and password, if required, for connecting to the MQTT broker.

By selecting the appropriate protocol and providing the necessary details, users can seamlessly integrate their devices with the ApiroData ecosystem, facilitating data collection and analysis for informed decision-making.
