Thingsboard IoT platform integration

Thingsboard is an open source IoT Platform. Pilot Things aims to integrate ThingsBoard into the App Server product while maintaining the existing graphical user interface (GUI) . This integration will enable real-time IoT data visualization using Device Explorer as the primary backend data source. To achieve this, a new Java module called ThingsBoardIntegration will be developed. This module will replace ThingsBoard’s default device connectivity, fetching real-time telemetry and metadata directly from Device Explorer . The integration will ensure seamless communication between IoT devices, the App Server, and ThingsBoard’s dashboard system. Device data will be streamed in real-time using WebSocket, MQTT, or REST APIs to update dashboards and widgets without modifying the UI. The system will support historical data retrieval and live telemetry updates to maintain a smooth user experience. Scalability and performance will be key priorities, optimizing data ingestion and processing for large-scale IoT deployments. The solution will maintain compatibility with ThingsBoard’s rule chains, alarms, and analytics features. The project will be implemented in four phases : feasibility analysis, prototype development, full integration, and deployment. The ThingsBoardIntegration module will provide a robust and modular architecture, allowing future enhancements. This integration will enhance IoT data management, ensure real-time insights, and offer a seamless user experience for App Server users.
