Simulating IoT Sensors with Built-In IoT Simulator
Machinechat JEDI v3.22 introduces a built-in IoT simulator, allowing you to explore JEDI's features without needing physical sensors or additional setup. This simulator generates near-realistic sensor data, enabling you to create dashboards, configure rules, set up notifications, and generate reports, easily.
Starting the IoT Simulator in JEDI
The IoT simulator is available when running JEDI through the Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux).
To start the simulator, enter the following command in the JEDI CLI:
This will initiate the simulator and begin generating sensor data.
Stopping the IoT Simulator in JEDI
To top the simulator, use the following command.
This will halt data generation.
Simulated Data
The simulator generates data for a virtual device with the Device ID: vSensor. The following metrics are available:
| Metric Name | Data Type |
|---|---|
| bme680_gas_kohm | NUMBER |
| bme680_humidity | NUMBER |
| bme680_pressure | NUMBER |
| bme680_temp_c | NUMBER |
| chiller_temp_c | NUMBER |
| co2_ppm | NUMBER |
| light_lux | NUMBER |
| noise_db | NUMBER |
| power_watts | NUMBER |
| vibration_mps2 | NUMBER |
| water_flow_gpm | NUMBER |
| door_open | BOOLEAN |
| machine_state | STRING |
With this data, you can experiment with various JEDI features, ensuring a smooth transition to working real-world IoT sensors.
