This documentation covers Knightec's internal sensor platform project. The goal is to create a universal platform capable of connecting to any type of sensor or actuator. To make a device compatible, a device adapter is needed. These adapters are typically small units with an MCU that read sensor values or control actuators, converting data to a message format compatible with the platform. For details on creating a device adapter, see the Create a Device guide. The project follows a weather theme, with platform components, device adapters, and interfaces bearing weather-related names.
The platform is a unit that runs a MQTT broker and a USB to MQTT gateway. This means that MCUs can connect either via Serial USB or Wifi. Any computer could be the platform, but to make it more transportable a single card computer like Raspberry Pi or Nvidias Jetson series are recommended.
