From device to actionable insights with LoRa and the Azure IoT platform

LoRa - Azure IoT Hands-on Lab / Workshop

In this hands-on lab you will be creating the complete chain from configuring, to bridging the gap between the connectivity providers clouds and the Microsoft Azure IoT platform, creating actionable insights on the Microsoft Azure IoT platform and sending commands all the way back to the device. This includes assembling hardware, configuring hardware and software and coding the missing logic to a complete IoT solution. The workshop will simulate a remote located machine malfunctioning and getting restarted based on the received telemetry and created insights based on the telemetry data. You will be creating all components to get the malfunctioning machine back up running again. All of that within 2-4 hours (2 hours is minimum).

Technologies used during the hands-on lab;

  • Arduino development boards The Things Uno (LoRa enabled Arduino Leonardo)
  • Software emulated devices/sensors (in Java, NodeJS or C# (UWP))
  • Sensors (button and LED light bar)
  • LoRa & Lora WAN
  • The Things Network cloud
  • Microsoft Azure IoT Platform (including Azure Web Jobs, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Stream analytics, Azure Event hub, Azure blob storage and Azure Functions)

The hands-on lab is created in conjunction with Atos and Microsoft Nederland.

Hardware used will remain property of Atos and Microsoft.

Let's dive into the workshop

The workshop consists of several chapters. The first two chapters will guide you through the essentials we want you to get your hands on. The other chapters are optional/extra if you have time left.

  1. Connecting a device to the Azure IoT Platform

  2. Receiving and handling telemetry in Azure

  3. Passing commands back to actual devices or simulated devices

  4. Bonus chapter: Deploying The Things Network Bridge to Azure as a WebJob
