Question

using Multitech Conduit EdgeMicroserver

Hello

I have a Multitech Conduit with lorawan card.

I have installed the EMS in it from the maketplace and connected it to Thingworx ...

I can see the gateway associated Thing ("is connected" to true) but the document doesn't describe how to configure/send the data from the multitech to Thingworx (to get the lorawan payload and other information)

Is there something similar available somewhere ?

Regards..

Hi Pascal,

congratulation for your successful installation!

Now let's get your task done.

As far as I can say, your may get the right principles in this tutorial:

http://developer.thingworx.com/guides/thingworx-java-sdk-tutorial​ (and look at STEPS>Filetransfer, e.g.)

(I'm not aware of one better fitting to your special case, someone else?)

I think, if you got the principles of the Edge MicroServer, your are almost there.

Or, you may ask a more detailed question, if my answer does not help you here.

Happy thinging...

Hello

Thanks I'll look at this ...

To be more detailed on this , before Thingworx  I was using MQTT (in multitech  node-red) to get the data from the multitech conduit (as publisher)  into my server where I decoded the payload and stored data into a mysql Database (scripts python) for further analysis and web reports.

I'm trying to do all these steps directly into Thingworks

I have also other sources of data (other things)  I'm receiving from a cloud server on a websocket (should be the next connector)

Hi,

ok, thanks for the details.

I must say, that I havn't tried THAT myself, so I would like some others to answer here.

But theoretically speaking this should be no problem, because of the ability to use Java-snippets and scripts.

And if you have the EMS working so far, you should be able to transfer your payload to Thingworx, where you can extract it and store it in your thing-attributes.

Happy thinging... ;o)

Hi pjoly,

I am using mosquitto.org as a broker to trsnsmit packet from multitech conduit to thingworx. It means, i am using another server i.e. mosquitto.org. so the packet flow like this: multitech conduit->mosquitto.org->Thingworx. Is it right?

But I want to create my own mosquitto broker. Do you have any idea how i create mosquitto broker to transmit packet from conduit to thingworx? As multitech conduit have already mosquitto.conf file. Should i change this file to create my own server? What is the serverName when i configured 'Thing'?

Regards

Hello

I installed my own mosquitto server on Ubuntu following some guides found on internet (there are a lot)

after I just configured node-red MQTT in the multitech conduit accordingly (server IP/name, port, login, password and topic)

I did not used mosquitto;conf on the conduit, I did all with node-red.

Hi pascal,

Thanks a lot.

I did install mosquitto broker/server in my laptop (ubuntu) but i am confused with the IP address to be mention in the thingworx. What server name/ Ip address should i place on thingworx? Is it the loop back IP or my wlan inet address of my laptop? Please suggest accordingly.
