EMBERS client to receive messages sent using HTTP, CoAP and MQTT protocols.
This client allows you to create a communication using EMBERS, so that you can receive messages sent from devices using HTTP, CoAP or MQTT protocols to a defined gateway.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt;
The gateway is used in order to receive messages sent from devices. In order to create a new gateway you just need to run the following:
curl -X POST -d "type=GATEWAY" -d "name=GATEWAY_NAME" http://msg2.embers.citibrain.com/devices
This will return the gateway uuid and token, that you will need use as credentials for the constants file:
CREDENTIALS = { "uuid": "gateway_uuid", "token": "gateway_token" }
The devices are used to send messages to a defined gateway. In order to create a new device you just need to run the following:
curl -X POST -d "type=DEVICE" -d "name=DEVICE_NAME" http://msg2.embers.citibrain.com/devices
This will return the device uuid and token that you will need to send messages from the device to the gateway;
After creating gateway(s), device(s) and cunfiguring the constants file (with gateway uuid and token), you are able to receive messages using EMBERS. For that, you just need to run python embers_client.py in order to start the EMBERS-client that will receive the messages sent from devices;
In order to send messages from devices to the gateway, you just need to use one of our publishers. For example, you can use the EMBERS-HTTP-Publisher availabe here.
To simplify the devices and gateways creation we are working in the developer dashboard, available here, so that you can create devices and gateways in few seconds!
