Red triangle: check parameters
Blue dot: not yet deployed
Info: description

Node-RED exampleNodes: Inject, limit, debug
Status: msg counter valueDebug: timestamp value

Server parameters in one nodeConfiguration node
Config: keeps all parameters in onenode like server IP-address &user/passwd

IoT nodes:Azure, Watson, AWS

Node-RED IoT nodes

IoT nodesSimplified view
Principles:
Send / receive messages Store / retrieve file(s) Write / read database
Programming languages: C#, Javascript, Python, Java, Ruby etc.
depends on provider
Differences:
Security implementations: API key Connection string Certificate files
Protocols: http/https mqtt/mqtts Amqp/amqpWs

Use cases
Demo is based onArrowhead service frameworkArtemis research program

Demo hardware: Intel Edison + Groove kitSeed Studio: Indoor environment kit for Intel Edison
1. Intel Edison & base board2. Base board with enclosure3. Adapter for Edison4. Sensors/devices:
Light, temperature, rotatebutton, buzzer, UV, LCD
Connectors:Power line + USB-debug

Simple flow that will register GTW to cloudPublish service & List services

GTW REST APISwagger documented API

Test flow to send sensor values to MIMOSABuild message and POST data through REST API to database

Demo summary
Visual program
Program flow is just 4 tabs (pages) and it is not very complex
Simple REST APIs
Effective and very easy to reuse => high productivity
UI & Map interface (bonus)
