Upgrading Apache Cassandra Cluster
At thethings.io we use Cassandra as our master time series database. Some weeks ago we needed to upgrade our Cassandra version to a major release version in order to improve the QoS of our architecture. This post aims to group all steps that we use for upgrade our Cassandra cluster to a newer version. There are a […]
The most simple enterprise IoT platform
A year ago, I wrote Keep IoT simple, stupid where I was trying to explain that with thethings.iO we are trying to bring simplicity into the complex ecosystem of the Internet of Things. Store, analyze and visualize data should not be hard or need any specific team with knowledge on scaling machines, among others. This […]
Connect KEPServerEx to an IoT platform
Industry is getting into the Internet of Things, some call it Industry 4.0 some other use other names. The hard thing of the industry is that sometimes the companies still use old protocols, legacy machines and systems. The protocol OPC UA (Unified Architecture) is one of the most extended IoT industrial standard for automation. At […]
Particle Photon with thethings.iO IoT platform
At thethings.iO we love to play with hardware and today we are going to show you how to program and send data with a Particle Photon board to thethings.iO. For this, we are going to use the Particle Buid system as the IDE because it’s more integrated on the Particle system. The Particle Photon is […]
We are at IoT Solutions World Congress next week
IoT Solution World Congress 2016 starts next week, starting on Tuesday 25th of October until 27th of October. The night before, on Monday at 7pm, there’s also the awesome IoT Stars that thethings.iO is proudly sponsoring. At thethings.iO we are very excited about participating at the 2nd edition of the IoT Solutions World Congress event […]
Connect industrial gateway Option CloudGate to thethings.iO
Some of our customers use industrial routers from 3rd party manufacturers for several reasons. Some of these reasons are important requirement because of the environment, certifications, connectivity or needs on the field. Industrial routers or gateways are getting important on use cases such as the industry. Option have created the CloudGate router which is a […]
Sigfox IoT Dashboard with thethings.iO IoT platform
In today’s post we are going to show you how to create (step by step) a Sigfox IoT Dashboard with thethings.iO IoT platform. Literally it’s 5 minutes time, no more. In this example we will use a Sigfox board with temperature and humidity sensors, same as the previous post (Connecting the SmartEverything to thethings.iO). On […]
3 reasons to use thethings.iO IoT platform
Every company that wants to be successful in the Internet of Things realm have a lot to do. One of the most crucial part is the IoT platform. Some of the key questions when building an IoT product are: Should I build my own IOT platform? should I use an IaaS as an IoT platform? […]
Connect STMicroelectronics boards to thethings.iO
Today, we’re gonna show you how to connect your STMicroelectronics board with thethings.iO. At this post we are going to connect exactly STMicroelectronics Discovery-F746NG board to take advantage of the mbed platform. The STMicroelectronics Discovery-F746NG is a development kit board of the ST32F7 series of microcontrollers based on ARM Cortex-M7 processor. The board brings a […]
How to visualize your SCADA diagram at thethings.iO in 3 steps
Imagine you have a number of different Internet-connected devices that fit together within one system. This could be a plant with humidity, light and pH sensors or, on a larger scale, a connected home system with numerous connected devices or a factory where you can monitor and control the valves, faucets, among others. The possibilities are endless, but […]
