Benefits of the Azure IoT Hub output connector:
Directly stream device data from akenza to Azure and subsequently process it in
Easily process low-power device data e.g. LoRaWAN device data in a Microsoft service
In this tutorial, you will learn, how to send data to Azure IoT Hub. The following steps are explained in more detail:
Create a new Azure IoT Hub resource, by selecting + Create a resource, and then entering IoT Hub
Assign a resource group by choosing an existing group or creating a new one and fill the IoT hub name and region fields; choose Public access in the networking tab to select a tier that fits your use case in the Management tab (use the free tier for testing)
Select review and create to provision the IoT hub resource
Navigate to your IoT Hub resource and select Shared access policies in the Settings section
Select + Add shared access policy, give a name and check all boxes for the permissions (registry read, registry write, service connect, and device connect permissions)
Once the policy is created, obtain the Primary Connection String, by clicking the policy and copying the connection string. The connection string will be used to create the connector in akenza.
Create a new Data Flow with Azure IoT Hub as output connector. Define a Connector Name and insert the Connection String obtained from the shared access policy.
Once a device is connected to the IoT Hub, device data can be further used on various Azure services:
Possible services are:
Real-time data stream processing
Powerful cloud-based predictive analytics tool to enable predictive maintenance
A scalable, push notification engine for quickly sending messages
A suite of business analytics
First, you will need to in order to successfully process data from akenza in Azure services.
Sign in to the
using the Data Flow and start sending data.
In order to monitor uplinks that are sent to Azure IoT Hub, you can use Azure CLI with the . Use the following commands to install the extension and monitor incoming uplinks:
