Question

Websocket connection between Thingworx and a websocket-server.

Hello community,

I want to open a websocket connection between Thingworx and a websocket-server for subscribing data.

I have seen that such services for http protocol exist in Thingworx:

var result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].LoadJSON(params);

So my question is:

Is there any possibility to do almost the same via websocket communication?

Thanks a lot for help,

Max

Why aren't you just using the EMS or one of the SDKs, which handle the websocket communication for you?

    Thanks for comment.

    Yes I could handle the websocket communication using one of the SDKs.

    But I thought there will be an out of the box solution for websockets in thingworx.

    Do you know if there is any way to do this out of the box?

    Hello

    I have exactly the same "issue" :

    I have to connect Thingworx to a websocket server to get data from several gateways, getting data from several devices.

    I receive data in JSON format from the device ("the thing")  and send data by sending a JSON message on the same websocket.

    As websocket are used internally in Thingworx I thought that there was a procedure to create a new one to connect with cloud services (which are offered more and more websockets)

    So I would be interested by the solution .

    Did you put a microedge server in place between the server and Thingworx ?

    Is it "easy" to configure for such services ?

    Thanks for information.
