Remote Integrations

Doc info icon
ThingsBoard PE Feature

Only Professional Edition supports Platform Integrations feature.
Use ThingsBoard Cloud or install your own platform instance.

Remote Integrations allow reliable data streaming from multiple devices in the local area network (LAN) to the ThingsBoard platform in the cloud. They are helpful if you have, for example, a local MQTT broker or OPC-UA server with no external IP address and is not reachable from where your ThingsBoard platform is installed. The remote integration initiates a connection to these servers, pulls the data, stores it locally, and then streams it to the ThingsBoard instance.

Although this approach requires some additional steps in the deployment process, it allows integration with servers and devices deployed in the LAN. A separate integration process improves isolation level and performance.

The remote integration approach enables tenants to launch plain TCP and UDP integrations. Those two integrations are unique because they start a server that binds to a specific port. Since ThingsBoard is a multi-tenant environment, we can’t launch TCP and UDP integrations as part of the core service due to possible port collisions between tenants. That is why we propose each tenant to launch a TCP/UDP integration as a remote one. The same applies to any custom integration that the tenant creates.

It is possible to execute any ThingsBoard Integration separately from the ThingsBoard instance.

This guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to launch MQTT remote integration that connects to the local MQTT Broker and pushes data to the ThingsBoard Cloud.

You can find additional information about the ThingsBoard Platform integrations feature here.

ThingsBoard configuration

We assume you already have a tenant administrator account on your own ThingsBoard PE instance or ThingsBoard Cloud.

Create remote integration in ThingsBoard

Let’s create remote integration in ThingsBoard that will connect to the local broker using port 1883 and subscribe to all topics.

  • Go to the “Integrations center” section -> “Integrations” page and click “plus” icon to add a new integration. Name it “MQTT remote integration”, select type “MQTT”;

image

  • The next step is to add a default uplink converter. The new converter will contain necessary code to convert incoming data. Click “Next”;

image

  • You can create a new downlink converter at the step of adding a downlink converter. But for now, leave the “Downlink data converter” field empty. Click “Skip”;

image

  • Specify host: “thingsboard.cloud” and port: “1883” at the connection step;
  • Subscribe to all topics;
  • You can also select an MQTT QoS level. We use MQTT QoS level 0 (At most once) by default;
  • Copy and save the “Integration key” and “Integration secret”. We will use this values later;

image

  • Go to the advanced settings. It is better to uncheck the “Clean session” parameter. Many brokers do not support sticky sessions, so will silently close the connection if you try to connect with this option enabled;
  • Click the “Add” button to create the integration.

Now let’s proceed to the steps for installation remote integration.

Choose your platform and install

One can install ThingsBoard Integration via Docker, Debian or RPM packages. Please use one of the next steps.

Docker on Linux/Mac

  • Troubleshooting

NOTE If you observe errors related to DNS issues, for example

1
127.0.1.1:53: cannot unmarshal DNS message

You may configure your system to use Google public DNS servers. See corresponding Linux and Mac OS instructions.
