It's all about connectivity...
Hello fellows,
You should have heard about LoRa , yeah? And you probably know that ThingsBoard supports their devices. To get started with setup of LoRa server so that it forwards collected data to ThingsBoard LoRaserver team has recently designed a guide. Easy-deasy .
If you completed all the steps, then ThingsBoard will receive uplink data (or telemetry) and LoRa App Server will forward data
for your Device, using the Access Token for authentication.

Deploy anywhere now?
Those of you, who listen to our release notes already
aware of the results of our few months sprint . Bulking, claiming, self-regging and
many new features and fixes are available
within ThingsBoard v2.4.0 .
But! The other outstanding (at least for our team) news is
dedicated to a product, that was released recently as well. License portal (License
server) is a breeze billing solution that allows ThingsBoard Professional
Edition (TB PE) customers to easily purchase license keys online. And
amongst all PROs of this product (btw, the full description is
available from this
documentation page) the very best, we consider, is the possibility to
deploy your ThingsBoard PE anywhere. For example, from
now Pay-as-you-go licenses works for on-premises installations.
And with this looney tune we are at the start of our next sprint...

Smart and the City
Yeehaw!
Another interesting case, kindly shared with us. We encourage you to share your experiences in utilizing ThingsBoard for your fascinating solutions.
These outstanding dashboards — a result of collaboration between OMS, a.s. ( lighting producer and Smart Lighting solution
provider) and MAKERS
s. r . o . ( IoT solutions software house).
"We were looking for IoT platform serving as core backend
for Smart City solutions, and Thingsboard became our first clear choice. It
contains necessary business functionality and support all needed
technologies/protocols which we required. Later on, Thingsboard became the
heart of the Smart City solution" .
Jan
Masaryk, co-founder, MAKERS s. r o
"OMS is building
first-class Smart City product named CitySys, open platform, which enable
control and maintain several city domains like Lighting, Traffic, Security,
Energy Management, etc. CitySys core part is Smart Lighting module, which
establish core infrastructure, transport and software layers enabling gradually
expand to other areas and integrate any 3rd solutions and sensors.
We can confirm that Thingsboard platform became a core component of our Smart City strategy and we are looking forward to see business advantages in
our expected deployments".

Go in 4
Fellows!
You definitely heard about Industry 4.0 and probably most of you are involved in this trend.ThingsBoard is one of the key components for "smarting" manufactures. We kindly appreciate any of you, who share with us particular case studies, results and efficiency of utilizing TB. Below you can find quotations from CITEVE case study.
You definitely heard about Industry 4.0 and probably most of you are involved in this trend.
CITEVE is the technological center for textile and garment industries from Portugal. The Institute is running projects for the Textile Industry aiming to
establish a collective and structured action, oriented to the pre-competitive
capacities, which enhance and value R&D results by reinforcing transference
and scientific and technological knowledge for this sector. These projects have strategic areas of focus: Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT);
New Complex Textile Structures; Multifunctionalization; Sustainability and
Circular Economy.
"Thingsboard (TB) platform was selected for experimentation due to its good reputation, not only under academic reviews, but also under the GitHub and the global Internet community . This software is available with an open-source license and its website has lessons on how to use each feature, this made easy for the team to install, run and learn how to use this platform."
"With the implementation of TB CE, we were able to develop and gather knowledge on several key-topics of the I4.0 and IoT paradigm:
- Security (Network, Devices and Users management);
- Connectivity (M2M communication and protocols);
- Machine Control (Programing with traditional [Python and Java] and modern [Rule Engine and RPC requests] frameworks).
With this knowledge, we are now able to prepare and setup a legacy textile-coating machine so that all of its parameters, rules and data are online and under control of its managers"
Júlio Sá I4.0 researcher from CITEVE

Amazing facts on IoT
Hi!
Just recently noted enormous activity. The number of connected devices will increase within the next years. So it is necessary to learn more about the Internet of Things. We contribute our small piece of IoT pie and educate people via different channels (this blog, YouTube, by providing training sessions etc.).
What would be the best step forward? IoT at schools? Public lessons? Print materials?

Holding RPC via MQTT integration
Geeks,
To know better what isThingsBoard Integrations and MQTT integration as well you should go to documentation. In this blog posting we 'd like to ask you to pen down your real-life cases, difficulties or user success stories. So if utilizing of MQTT Integration for your particular needs was cosy /showstopping /hard-to-explain do not shy to share your experience.
Oh, just in case you missed the tutorial on RPCs via MQTT Integration unit:
We need a feedback to make our docs better.

Aliases in the Wonderland. Part 2
Fellows!
So many things done behind the scenes (e.g. Headquarters' migration to a new facility — no photos yet). But so much news to come as well. Our mature team keeps working on upgrading of ThingsBoard , continues producing new tutorials and educating you, geeks, within the Free video course. BTW the next lesson on Aliases is already available.

Let's learn MQTT Integration
Fellows!
It’s been some time since our last posting on Professional
edition features. In fact, our team was involved in scale e-learning project.
ThingsBoard recently launched a free video course on Community edition. But you do know that. So the thing we are talking about today is the way to connect almost all existing devices to ThingsBoard .
The MQTT Integration is special ThingsBoard Professional edition
feature that allows to connect to external MQTT brokers, subscribe to data
streams from those brokers and convert any type of payload from your devices to
ThingsBoard message format. Huh.
This is a first part of a complex module. Next time you'll find out the way to hold RPC's via Integration.

Aliases in the Wonderland of ThingsBoard
Hi!
One of the most frequently asked questions and the one from
the "help, urgent issue" top of our support's
mailbox is dedicated to aliases. It happens (almost always) the issue is caused by misconfiguration of datasources for dashboards.
So, share, appreciate or just watch our new e-lesson from
free ThingsBoard online education course. This is the first part. To
be continued.
Do not hesitate to put your questions in this blog, on our YouTube channel or wherever you are convenient (but make sure we can reach your request).

iioote and ThingsBoard announces Technical Partnership to reduce time to market
Gothenburg
2019-05-14
iioote AB enters a technical partnership with ThingsBoard, Inc. to strengthen the common offering of IoT solutions using the advanced ThingsBoard IoT Platform, i.e. ThingsBoard Professional Edition, including support for the leading LPWAN standard, LoRaWANTM.
The
cooperation with best-in-class vendors is a part of iioote global course and
mission of contributing to Sweden's goal to be the best in the world to use the

“During
our evaluation of several different IoT platforms we decided using ThingsBoard
Community Edition to quickly get started with testing of our concept solutions.
Since it offers an easy way to get access to data from all our sensors and
supports building dashboards for visualization. However, we soon discovered
that ThingsBoard also fulfilled our need to build commercial services. With
increasing number of sensors, customers and requirements we have migrated to
ThingsBoard Professional Edition with a lot more functionality for larger
deployments and multiple customers. And we will add additional servers as our
customers grow”.
Bertil Moberg, Head of IoT Solutions at iioote
“ThingsBoard customers are found globally and we need local
partners to give the best possible support in many countries and regions. We
are involved in multiple discussions with both large and small companies based
in Sweden and Scandinavia as well and need a partner with deep cutting-edge
know-how regarding IoT and LPWAN. iioote was undoubtedly the natural choice.
Our combined efforts will offer enhanced solutions to customers with a
best-in-class IoT platform. The co-operation will enable further support in the
Nordic region and increase our market presence to become the de-facto standard
for IoT platform”.
Andrew Shvayka, CEO of ThingsBoard
