Bipes-Dashboard connection

[vdbijlh@hotmail.com]

I want to make an inventory of Dashboard tools (PC and IoS – iPad and iPhone) that I can use to connect with BIPES via MQTT/EasyMQTT.

I currently know (not yet tested):

– Node-Red DashBoard.

– Thingspeak – MatLab

– IoT OnOff (IoS-Android) see screenshot below,

There must be many more … so:

Can anybody help me with suggestions of suitable DashBoard Apps that I can use to connect BIPES via MQTT/EasyMQTT?

Hello! Nice to discuss this topic with you!

There are several options. I think freeboard and thingsboard are promising. They are open-source dashboard tools:

https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard

https://github.com/Freeboard/freeboard

Working Demo:

http://freeboard.github.io/freeboard/

After reading this:

https://liveobjects.orange-business.com/cms/app/uploads/How-to-create-a-beautiful-Freeboard-dashboard-for-Live-Objects-1.pdf

and this:

https://github.com/Freeboard/freeboard

I was able to quickly build this great dashboard integrated with BIPES!

Here is a screenshot of the dashboard I just built with freeboard:

You will have to create a datasource to a BIPES EasyMQTT Session, such as:

http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/gettopic.php?session=kgk4lp&topic=humidity

After that, add a pane and a widget on freeboard for the given topic. Such as:

datasources[“Humidity”][“result”][0][“data”]

or

datasources[“Relay”][“result”][0][“data”]

I also tried to install freeboard on BIPES server. That was quite easy following the steps at https://github.com/Freeboard/freeboard:

http://bipes.net.br/test/freeboard/

The dashboard I created is saved here:

http://bipes.net.br/test/freeboard/dashboard.json

And finally, you can see it working in real-time here:

http://bipes.net.br/test/freeboard/index.html?load=dashboard.json

Which also renders nicely on an Android phone:

Finally, some useful information about EasyMQTT:

1 – The IOT tab can receive sensor data using HTTP and it uses a MySQL database internally. This tab has an export option that generates a CSV file for Excel/Spreadsheet. Here is an example: http://bipes.net.br/beta2/ui/#viudib (it uses http://www.bipes.net.br/sensors/send.php?)

2 – EasyMQTT has an API based on JSON that you can use with HTTP requests:

List EasyMQTT sessions:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/listsessions.php

Get session data:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/getsession.php

Get topic data:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/gettopic.php

Publish data:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/publish.php

Clear a session:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/clearsession.php

Examples:
http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/getsession.php?session=kgk4lp

http://bipes.net.br/easymqtt/gettopic.php?session=kgk4lp&topic=temperature

The last example will give you a JSON with all data for a given topic/session.

Please note that BIPES also support native MQTT (non EasyMQTT sessions), so you can send data from BIPES programs to ThingSpeak and other platforms!

Hope this helps.

Best regards!

Hello! I have started trying to implement this with an integration of BIPES with freeboard. I think it is already capable of doing what you need. Take a look here, please:

Thanks … I will explore this a.s.a.p

Is Freeboardd available for mobile platforms ?

e.g. IoS – Andriod .. that will significantly broaden the application area.

Rafael … Thanks .. I will test and digest this and give my feedback.

Is Freeboard available for the mobile platforms (IoS – Android) … that will sifnificantly braoden the scope of the app.
