Reyax MQTT with Database: RYC10001 Introduction | Part 1

Recently Ms. Kate of Reyax Technology reach out with me to introduced their new IoT platform which is the RYC1001 and kind enough to give me a full access to explore this new cloud platform

Reyax Technology is a company based in Taiwan, they have a variety of products they even offering IoT solutions according to your project requirements.

But for today, we will focus on this IoT cloud platform which is the RYC1001.

Firstly, I will use it to demonstrate its basic MQTT protocol then further explore its additional database capability over MQTT protocol later on.

So what  is RYC1001?

RYC1001 is built on Amazon Web Services or AWS cloud computing platform which is one of the leaders in cloud technology as of this day.

It supports MQTT protocol which is one of the popular IoT solutions as of now.

It uses a well-thought simple instructions to easily integrate database capability through its MQTT platform via specific topic which we will explore later on. 

INSTRUCTION

As for the start, lets create the image illustrated above Home automation using basic MQTT.

1. Connection Profiles

I prepared 2 dashboards:
- one to simulate the basic MQTT setup
- another to simulate MQTT setup with RYC1001 database capability

2. Basic MQTT Setup | Connection

In the Client ID:
I use my username-some identification
so I can identify the client

3. Basic MQTT Setup | Connection continuation

Username and Password
can be acquired from Reyax Technology

4. Basic MQTT Setup | Dashboard

lr_switch       simulates a light switch
lr_lights       simulates a light bulb
lr_temp_sensor  simulates a temperature sensor
lr_temperature  simulates a temperature gauge

5. Basic MQTT Setup | Switch Panel

lr_switch publishes to topic:
home/living_room/lights

6. Basic MQTT Setup | Lights Panel

lr_lights subscribes to topic:
home/living_room/lights

7. Basic MQTT Setup | Temperature Sensor panel

lr_temp_sensor publishes to topic:
home/living_room/temperature

8. Basic MQTT Setup | Temperature Gauge panel

lr_temperature subscribes to topic:
home/living_room/temperature

12. MQTT with Database Setup | Switch panel

lr_switch needs to:
- publish command message to topic: api/request
- subscribe to topic:
  api/command/<Network_ID>/<deviceTypeId>/<deviceId>/control_lights

Example:
api/command/35/5/gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic/control_lights

JsonPath for subscribe:
$.command.result.lights

{
    "action": "command/insert",
    "deviceId": "gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic",
    "command": {
        "command": "control_lights",
        "parameters": {"Control":"Lights"},
        "status":"Done",
        "result": {"lights": <switch-payload>}
    }
}

<switch-payload> = variable for switch state

13. MQTT with Database Setup | Lights panel

lr_lights subscribes to topic:
api/command/<Network_ID>/<deviceTypeId>/<deviceId>/control_lights

Example:
api/command/35/5/gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic/control_lights

JsonPath for subscribe:
$.command.result.lights

14. MQTT with Database Setup | Temperature sensor panel

lr_temp_sensor publishes notification to topic:
api/request

Subscribes to topic:
api/notification/<Network_ID>/<deviceTypeId>/<deviceId>/temperature

Example:
api/notification/35/5/gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic/temperature

JsonPath for subscribe:
$.notification.parameters.temperature

{
    "action": "notification/insert",
    "deviceId": "gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic",
    "notification": {
        "notification": "temperature",
        "parameters": {"temperature": <slider-payload>}
    }
}

<slider-payload> = value from slider panel

15. MQTT with Database Setup | Temperature gauge panel

lr_temperature subscribes to topic:
api/notification/<Network_ID>/<deviceTypeId>/<deviceId>/temperature

Example:
api/notification/35/5/gyBII8EdlDdlLXZDfirHAuOiryBIz2RR4zic/temperature

JsonPath for subscribe:
$.notification.parameters.temperature
