ELIOT EdgeX integration

IOT application development using ELIOT

Approach 1: ELIOT provide EdgeX application SDKs in developer platform

• SDK is for get devices readings from 0MQ from EdgeX.
• SDK also provide filter and transform data functions, which can be set as function pipeline to get required data in needed format.
• For send cmd to device, application query device info from command service and get command URI and details. Then application can call this URI to set device.
• Additionally IOT Apps can use MEP agent and other platform capabilities if application depend on them.

Approach 2: ELIOT Dev portal for Application dev.

• Configure EdgeX application service for http endpoints for IOT applications.
• Device data pushed to IOT app by edgex Application service
