Coreflux Edge Monitor Demo

Coreflux Edge Monitor Demo is a demonstration project that visualizes real-time data from IoT edge devices. Utilizing Flask for the web interface and Paho MQTT for subscribing to topics, it showcases how data sent to a Coreflux MQTT broker can be securely received and displayed. This project is perfect for learning how to integrate IoT device data with web technologies for real-time monitoring and visualization.

Features

• Real-time subscription to MQTT topics with Paho MQTT.
• Secure MQTT communication with TLS support.
• Dynamic data display in a Flask web application.
• Visualization of device data and images encoded in base64.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Flask
• Paho MQTT
• A Coreflux Cloud Broker get one free trial -> https://mqtt.coreflux.org

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CorefluxIoTDataDisplay.git
   cd CorefluxIoTDataDisplay
   

2. Install the necessary Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

1. Open app.py and configure the Cloud Coreflux MQTT broker settings:

   MQTT_BROKER = "your_broker_address"
   MQTT_PORT = 8883  # or 1883 for non-TLS
   MQTT_TOPIC = "your_topic"

2. If your broker requires authentication or you're using TLS, ensure to configure username_pw_set and tls_set methods accordingly in app.py.

Running the Application

Execute the following command from the project directory:

flask run

Access the web interface by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your web browser.
