Data Generation Overview

Real-time data is what brings your Machinechat JEDI or Machinechat Vision dashboards, rules, and automation to life. Whether you're still prototyping, experimenting before buying sensors, or creating demos, this section will equip you with the tools to generate test data that suits your needs.

How to Choose the Right Method

I want the fastest way to get some data flowing: Check out the Code Simulators section for simple Python scripts to send data using HTTP or MQTT.
I prefer a no-code solution integrated into JEDI: The Virtual Sensor Data Collector allows you to simulate data from a simple CSV file.
I need to simulate complex scenarios or multiple devices: The Machinechat IoT Simulator (mciotsim) offers advanced configuration options for realistic data generation.

Let's dive in!
