Getting Started Tutorial for IoT Development

Overview

IoT-Ignite is a platform that enables devices to connect to Ignite Services and other devices, secure data and interactions, process and act upon device data, and enable applications to interact with devices even when they are offline.

IoT Ignite is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) distinctively designed for realization of Internet of Things. IoT-Ignite brings brand-new approach to IoT World.
Our approach is to expand IoT’s narrow focus to widespread use cases. The most powerful IoT Kit is your mobile phone in your pocket. Behind the design there are modern best practices and unique architecture.

Enjoy the development environment with simple UX and UI while seamlessly integrate your connected devices into your favorite tooling and platforms.

CLOUD LAYER

IgniteCloud is the end-to-end service enabler layer of the IoT-Ignite Platform. Cloud Layer has the ability of running simple to complex rules based on events generated by devices or external sources.

End To End Service Life Cycle Management IoT-Ignite manages all the service life cycle management from development, deployment, large scale operation management and also monetization processes

Device (Gateway&Nodes) Cloud IoT-Ignite manages all the service life cycle management from development, deployment, large scale operation management and also monetization processes

Cloud Rule Engine There is a rule engine running in the cloud that can be reconfigured anytime to meet changing needs. Your service can have set of rules on cloud layer analyzing the gathered data and executing an alert according to the set rules.

Example:
The rule of the edge device(s) indicates: if the temperature exceeds over xx degrees, turn on the sprinkles; the rule on the cloud indicates: if the temperature exceeds over xx degrees in edge device(s) send fire alert to fire department.

IoT-Ignite platform offers REST APIs for integration with 3rd party clouds and public service clouds such as social networking and messaging services. If your service is using a 3^rd party cloud, you can integrate this 3^rd party cloud using Ignite’s REST APIs. (Example: You set a rule on cloud to tweet an alert on twitter.)

GATEWAY LAYER

IgniteCloud is the end-to-end service enabler layer of the IoT-Ignite Platform. The IgniteAgent provides connectivity, management, control and data acquisition to your IoT service. The devices securely and efficiently communicate with cloud services in one-to many communication patterns. There is a rule engine running in the cloud that can be reconfigured anytime to meet changing needs. Your service can have set of rules on cloud layer analyzing the gathered data and executing an alert according to the set rules.

A device with x86 architecture or an open hardware platform device (Raspberry Pi) can be your gateway in your IoT project. These devices need to be installed PilarOS -an Industrial Android version by ARDIC. PilarOS comes with all comes with all necessary components, ready to connect to the cloud.

If you select an Android device to be your gateway you’ll need to install IgniteAgent on your device. IgniteAgent is available on Google Play Store and also iotapp.link . Further more information you can visit download.iot-ignite.com. Please see Documents for installation and configuration documents.

Now your gateway is ready and already connected to IgniteCloud. Now you will do:

RULE SETTING:

You’ll create rules on the rule engine according to the events happened on edge devices. You can also use the virtual processors. Please see sample services such as Environmental Sensor informations.

CONNECTING SENSORS AND NODES:

You can connect the sensors and nodes to your gateways. Once you want to connect sensors and nodes , you can use Builtin Nodes and Sensor. Also you can develop virtual nodes with virtual sensors as application. If you want to add External Node , make sure that develop your own application to configure external nodes.Please see here for how to.

Connect Sensors and Nodes
You can develop your own virtual processors or you can check our templates.

SERVICE LAYER

If you think your service needs or requires or will be fancier with a mobile app, you can develop one and have it fully compatible with IoT-Ignite. The IoT-Ignite SDK offers the connection, authentication, message exchanging, data transfer , edge device processing, unit storage and security. Please see our sample source codes and SDK’s.

NODE LAYER

Node is the simple computing unit of your service (Arduino, nodeMCU, ect.). It collects data and communicates with the actuators. In order to have them communicate with the gateway you will develop data collecting and actor modules with Eclipse , Arduino Sketch and Arduino IDE.
