Workflow Description
An automation template for remote sensor monitoring via MQTT protocol that receives data from distributed devices, processes it through custom logic, and sends processed readings to external APIs for storage and analytics.
How it works
- 1.Activate MQTT Trigger to receive messages from remote sensor devices continuously
- 2.Parse and validate incoming sensor data using Code node to extract relevant fields
- 3.Forward processed data to HTTP endpoint for centralized logging and analysis
Use cases
- Monitor temperature and humidity sensors across warehouses, factories, and outdoor locations
- Track distributed sensor readings in real-time and automatically alert on anomalies
Requirements
- Active MQTT broker accessible over the network with proper authentication credentials
- External HTTP API endpoint configured to accept and store sensor data payloads
Service Value
Ready-made workflow template for automation delivery and service execution.
