Azure IoT ?

[Martin Tellblom]

Anyone tried to make a MySensors gateway for Azure IoT?

@Martin-Tellblom I have a gut feeling that Azure supports MQTT (just like AWS). But I'm afraid you'll need a TLS certificate. And not sure whether you can use those on an Arduino.

So my best guess is putting a Raspberry Pi in between MySensors and Azure. Have not been able to configure a TLS on Node red so far.

@Martin-Tellblom Take a look at https://evothings.com/is-it-possible-to-secure-micro-controllers-used-within-iot/ article.

I have the code to do it on a arduino, but I need to MySensors it :)
Just wondered if anyone else already done this so I didn't had to do it

@Martin-Tellblom I think you only need to change the MQTT wifi gateway. But I'm a bit worried about the amount of available memory...

I'd be interested to know what you have planned with Azure IoT once you've got the data in to it? Not had time to investigate myself.

I'd go with NodeRed in between a local MQTT server and Azure IoT as going direct to Azure puts a dependency on the internet connection.

@Qu3Uk I went for the same solution when I tried to hook up MySensors to AWS. But wasn't able to get Node Red configures with Amazon's TLS certificate. Still curious how to get that going.

I just wanted to prove that we can connect MySensors to the cloud. With a home brew Python script I was able to post my sensor values to Amazon's cloud. Why? Because it was fun and it can be done.

Ha, I agree with this! Just curious about the fun after connecting it up.

There was a Node Red update the other week BTW, version 0.15

@Qu3Uk Great. @Yveaux had some nice add-ons for Node red. Do you have a link to that one for us @Yveaux?

[Yveaux]

@TheoL which ones are you referring to?

[TheoL]

@Yveaux The ones like the extended motion you showed during the Dutch meetup. I really liked that one.

[Yveaux]

@TheoL eeeeehhhrrrmmm.... That's just basic node-red nodes linked together. No magic there :blush:

[TheoL]

@Yveaux Hmm I couldn't find them in my Node Red setup. Will have a look at that later on. Thank you.
