Libelium Cloud Bridge service

The Libelium Cloud Bridge service enables to any sensor node to push data directly and in a secured way to the main cloud services.

This service also enables the user to manage their Meshlium units remotely.

Register Meshlium and Plug & Sense! units on Libelium's Services Cloud Manager

To start using the Bridge you must have first registered your Plug & Sense! devices and your Meshlium units on the Services Cloud Manager, as explained in the "Service Cloud Manager" guide that you will find on the following link:

https://development.libelium.com/services-cloud-manager-guide/

Configuration

You will use the configuration previously obtained on the Bridge to certify your Meshlium as a valid sender of messages. The Bridge plugin is located in:

Cloud Connector -> Premium Cloud Partner -> Libelium Cloud Bridge

In the configuration panel, the user can set:

  • User: email used to access to the Services Cloud Manager.
  • Password: Password used to access to the Services Cloud Manager.
  • Enable Remote Management: When the parameter is on, you enable this Meshlium unit to be remotely managed. If the parameter is off, you will not be able to manage the Meshlium remotely.

  • Sensor nodes: In this section you can select the devices which will send data to the Bridge. To be able to select any of the devices shown on the list, you must have registered them on the Services Cloud manager, as indicated before.

When you change any of the configuration parameters, the "Save" button turns red and a message will appear indicating that some changes are not saved. You cannot use the cloud connector with the new configuration until the changes are saved.

Controlling synchronization

Once the cloud connector is configured, the user can start the synchronization clicking the "Start" button. The system will start the synchronization of data from the devices that you previously selected. All data will be synchronized, not only the newly received frames, but also the past data stored in the database.

The status indicator displays the current state, saying "Running" or "Stopped".
