Update "AgriNode bundle" for Eclipse Kura (using Bitreactive)

By -
After Vietnamese New Year holiday or Tet holiday, I am back to the challenge.

In this post, I update the "AgriNode bundle" which runs on Eclipse Kura platform.
The figure demonstrates how the bundle works. It sends a command to all nodes for requiring data. After receiving the command, each node takes sensors reading then sends the sense data back to the gateway. The gateway then logs the data and forward them to the cloud via MQTT protocol. A web application is built on the cloud - IBM Bluemix for visualizing data. A user can define the sampling time (time for taking sensor data).




  • Sensor node: 
In this work, there is only one sensor node that is used for testing. It is ESP8266 Huzzah board and connects to DHT22 sensor (a low-cost temperature and humidity sensor)

  • Gateway: 
Eclipse Kura based gateway application with integrated "AgriNode bundle" that is developed using Bitreactive platform.

  • Cloud App:
A Node-Red application runs on IBM bluemix, which is built for receiving and visualizing data from the gateway.

This post is the quick review of my work on AgriNode project. I will show you more detail in the next post.

Acknowledge: In this post, I want to say thanks to the friendly staff from Bitreactive with their support on building AgriNode bundle.

Previous post:  Get started with Python Flask Framework on IBM Bluemix Flask-Moment is an extension for Flask applications that integrates  moment.js into Jinja2 templates. Flask-Moment is installed with pip For locally: $ pip install flask-moment For Bluemix: In  requirements.txt  add: Flask-moment==0.5.1 In  hello.py : Initialize Flask-Moment from flask_moment import Moment moment= Moment (app) Add  moment.js  into base template base.html In  templates/base.html : Import  moment.js  library {% block scripts %} {{ super() }} {{ moment.include_moment() }} {% endblock %} To work with timestamps Flask-Moment makes a moment class available to templates. In hello.py passes a variable called current_time to the template for rendering. In  hello.py : Add a datetime variable. from datetime import datetime @app.route('/') def index () : return render_template( 'index.html' , current_time=datetime.utcnow()) Render current_time in t

My latest publication: Environment monitoring system for agricultural application based on wireless sensor network

By -

This paper proposes an Internet of Thing system architecture based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for agricultural applications. The system consists of sensor nodes and a gateway, which allows a user to monitor environmental data for agriculture using a web browser. The sensor node is a microcontroller based Arduino including wireless module and connected sensors such as temperature, relative humidity, luminosity, air pressure and other sensors. A WiFi interface is deployed to exchange the environmental information from sensor nodes to the gateway running Linux. The gateway manages and transfers data to a Cloud where data were stored and visualized as graphs. For more infomation: https://goo.gl/zhRQze

OpenHab2 - MQTT binding demo

OpenHab2 - MQTT binding demo This demo demonstrates how to use MQTT binding addon in OpenHAB2 installed into Orange Pi zero. The idea is very basic. A switch is created on default sitemap. When you turn on the switch, it sends "ON" message to Topic  /office/light  via MQTT broker that is installed on Orange Pi. When you turn off the switch, it sends "OFF" message to Topic  /office/light . Require Openhab2 MQTT broker installed. First, install MQTT binding via paperui Define all the brokers which you want to connect to, in your  services/mqtt.cfg  file. cd /etc/openhab2/services sudo nano mqtt .cfg Edit the file as follow # # Define your MQTT broker connections here for use in the MQTT Binding or MQTT # Persistence bundles. Replace <broker> with an ID you choose . # # URL to the MQTT broker, e.g. tcp://localhost: 1883 or ssl://localhost: 8883 mosquitto.url=tcp://localhost: 1883 # Optional. Client id ( max 23 chars) to use w
