Remote Integrations

Introduction

It is possible to execute any ThingsBoard Integration remotely from main ThingsBoard Edge instance. This guide contains step-by-step instructions how to launch ThingsBoard integration remotely. For example, we will launch HTTP integration and push data over remote HTTP integration to ThingsBoard Edge.

See deployment options for more general information.

Prerequisites

We assume you already have a ThingsBoard Edge instance up and running, and connected to the Server.

ThingsBoard Server configuration steps

Converter and Integration templates are created on the Server, so please log in as Tenant administrator to the Server instance.

Before creating the Integration template, you need to create an Uplink converter template in Converters templates page. Uplink is necessary in order to convert the incoming data from the device into the required format for displaying them in ThingsBoard Edge. Click on the ‘plus’ and on ‘Create new converter’. To view the events, enable Debug. In the function decoder field, specify a script to parse and transform data.

1. Open <b>Converter templates</b> menu page. 2. Click <b>("+")</b> icon and select <b>Create new converter</b>.
1. Open Converter templates menu page. 2. Click ("+") icon and select Create new converter.
1. Enter the converter name, e.g., <b>Temperature converter</b>. 2. Select the converter type: <b>Uplink</b>. 3. Insert the code snippet from the example. 4. Click the <b>Add</b> button.
1. Enter the converter name, e.g., Temperature converter. 2. Select the converter type: Uplink. 3. Insert the code snippet from the example. 4. Click the Add button.

While Debug mode is very useful for development and troubleshooting, leaving it enabled in production mode can significantly increase the disk space used by the database since all the debug data is stored there. It is highly recommended turning the Debug mode off after debugging is complete.

// Decode an uplink message from a buffer
// payload - array of bytes
// metadata - key/value object
/** Decoder **/
// decode payload to string
// var payloadStr = decodeToString(payload);
// decode payload to JSON
var data = decodeToJson(payload);
var deviceName = data.deviceName;
// Result object with device attributes/telemetry data
var result = {
   deviceName: deviceName,
   deviceType: 'default',
   attributes: {
       model: data.model,
   },
   telemetry: {
       temperature: data.temperature
   }
};
/** Helper functions **/
function decodeToString(payload) {
   return String.fromCharCode.apply(String, payload);
}
function decodeToJson(payload) {
   // covert payload to string.
   var str = decodeToString(payload);
   // parse string to JSON
   var data = JSON.parse(str);
   return data;
}
return result;

Step 2. Create Remote Integration

Now that the Uplink converter template has been created, it is possible to create an integration.

1. Open <b>Integration templates</b> menu page. 2. Click the <b>("+")</b> icon to add a new integration.
1. Open Integration templates menu page. 2. Click the ("+") icon to add a new integration.
1. Select integration type: <b>HTTP</b>. 2. Input integration name, e.g., <b>HTTP Demo Remote</b>. 3. Click <b>Next</b> button.
1. Select integration type: HTTP. 2. Input integration name, e.g., HTTP Demo Remote. 3. Click Next button.
1. Click <b>Select existing</b> button. 2. Select uplink data converter: <b>Temperature Converter</b>. 3. Click <b>Next</b> button.
1. Click Select existing button. 2. Select uplink data converter: Temperature Converter. 3. Click Next button.
Enter the converter name, e.g., <b>Temperature converter</b>. 2. Select converter type: <b>Uplink</b>. 3. Insert the code snippet from the example. 4. Click the <b>Add</b> button.
Enter the converter name, e.g., Temperature converter. 2. Select converter type: Uplink. 3. Insert the code snippet from the example. 4. Click the Add button.
Verify that our <b>HTTP Demo Remote</b> integration template was created successfully.
Verify that our HTTP Demo Remote integration template was created successfully.

Step 3. Save Remote Integration credentials.

Let’s copy-paste the integration key and secret from the integration details, we’ll use them later during Remote integration installation steps.

1. Open the <b>Integration templates</b> menu page. 2. Click the integration template row. 3. Click to copy <b>Integration key</b>. 4. Click to copy <b>integration secret</b>.
1. Open the Integration templates menu page. 2. Click the integration template row. 3. Click to copy Integration key. 4. Click to copy integration secret.

Step 4. Assign Integration to Edge.

Once converter and integration templates are created, we can assign Integration template to Edge. Because we are using placeholder ${{remoteHttpIntegrationUrl}} in the integration configuration, we need to add attribute remoteHttpIntegrationUrl to edge first. You need to provide IP address and port of your HTTP remote integration as remoteHttpIntegrationUrl attribute. By default, remote HTTP integration uses 8082 port. We are going to use the same port in the demo, and IP address is going to be set as IP of the machine where remote integration service is going to be started. Once attribute added, we are ready to assign integration and verify that it’s added.

  • 1. Open Instances menu page. 2. Click on My New Edge.
  • 1. Click Attributes tab. 2. Click ("+") icon to add new attribute.
  • 1. Enter remoteHttpIntegrationUrl attribute. 2. Set the remote value for your HTTP integration http://IP:port. 3. Click Add button.
  • Open Instances menu page.
  • Click Manage edge integrations.
  • Click ("+") icon.
  • 1. Select the target integration. 2. Click Assign button.
  • Open Edge instance. 1. Open the Integrations menu page 2. Click on HTTP Demo Remote. 3. Check that placeholder is substituted with the value of the attribute.

Remote HTTP integration validation

To send an uplink message, you need HTTP endpoint URL from the integration.
Let’s log in to ThingsBoard Edge and go to the Integrations page. Find your HTTP integration and click on it. There you can find the HTTP endpoint URL. Click on the icon to copy the url.

Important! Please make sure that your machine is able to access machine where remote HTTP integration is running, and port 8082 is not blocked by any firewall rules.

Use this command to send the message. Replace $DEVICE_NAME and $YOUR_HTTP_ENDPOINT_URL with corresponding values.

1

curl -v -X POST -d "{\"deviceName\":\"$DEVICE_NAME\",\"temperature\":33,\"model\":\"test\"}" $YOUR_HTTP_ENDPOINT_URL -H "Content-Type:application/json"

The created device with data can be seen in the section Device groups -> All on the Edge:

Go to the "<b>Entities</b>" section -> "<b>Devices</b>" page on the Edge to see the created device with data.
Go to the "Entities" section -> "Devices" page on the Edge to see the created device with data.
