ThingsX IoT Core
Connect Wi-Fi devices, BLE gateways with shelf labels, industrial I/O and LoRaWAN sensors; secure them, watch them and use their data.
Get started
Your first hour: from sign-up to something working.
- What ThingsX IoT Core doesOne device cloud for Wi-Fi devices, BLE gateways with shelf labels, industrial I/O and LoRaWAN sensors, with a console built for fixing problems fast.
- Quick start: connect your first deviceFrom your new workspace to live telemetry in about ten minutes, using the Get started wizard.
How it works
The ideas behind it, in plain words.
Set up
Connect your systems and configure it for your team.
- Connect Wi-Fi and IoT devicesEndpoints, topics and message formats for devices that talk MQTT directly, including commands and twins.
- BLE gateways, shelf labels and child devicesConnect a BLE gateway once, and track every shelf label or sensor behind it as its own device.
- LoRaWAN sensors and gatewaysAdd LoRa sensors with their DevEUI and AppKey, point your gateways at your workspace, and use uplinks and downlinks like any other device.
- Industrial I/O modulesConnect PLC and I/O modules directly or behind a gateway, and use their readings in rules.
Use
Everyday tasks, step by step.
- Device twins and stateKeep desired and reported state in sync, see the delta, and keep a history of every change.
- Send commands to devicesCommands are stored, delivered, retried and acknowledged, so you always know whether a device did what you asked.
- Rules: react to device messagesSelect messages with SQL, filter them, and send them on to topics, HTTP endpoints, queues, twins or other devices. Test before you save.
- SDK and REST APIManage things, credentials, policies, twins and commands from your own applications.
- Monitor your fleet and support customersThe overview, the event log, Diagnose, and the IT support and customer lookup pages.
Migrate
Move from the tool or platform you use today.
- Moving from another IoT platformA safe, step-by-step move from any cloud IoT service or your own MQTT server, without re-flashing devices.
- From AWS IoT CoreExport things, certificates, policies and shadows, import them, and point devices and backends at IoT Core.
- From Azure IoT Hub and other platformsMap device twins, direct methods and routing to IoT Core, and import devices through the API.
Troubleshooting
Symptoms, causes and fixes.
- Device can't connectEvery refusal reason, what it means and how to fix it.
- Devices keep disconnecting or reconnectingKeep-alive timeouts, two devices with one client ID, and the denied-publish loop.
- Data isn't arriving or a rule doesn't fireTelemetry not charting, children not updating, rules not matching and commands stuck.
