HIAS IoT Agents

About this project

An IoT Agent design to receive data via the MQTT protocol and forward to a Context Broker.

The HIAS HDSI (HIAS Data Services Interface) IoT Agents are a selection of protocol/transfer specific applications that act as a bridge between the HIAS Context Broker and the devices and applications connected to the HIAS network via the iotJumpWay. Supported protocols currently include HTTP, MQTT, Websockets & AMQP.

Each IoT Agent provides a North & South Port interface that allows communication to and from the Context Broker. The North Port interface of an IoT Agent listens to southbound traffic coming from the Context Broker towards the devices and applications. The South Port of an IoT Agent sends southbound traffic to devices and applications using a protocol that is supported by the device/application, and receives northbound traffic from the devices/applications.
