Dimonoff announced that its Dimonoff | SCMS urban asset management platform now supports MQTT, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, expanding its integration options beyond its existing API. The new functionality gives system administrators a tool to dynamically create topics for publishing to an MQTT broker, sending live field data collected by the platform, including asset location coordinates, light levels, alarm statuses, and maintenance indicators, currently for light controllers and gateways.
MQTT is described as an open OASIS and ISO standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things, using a lightweight publish-subscribe architecture suited to remote devices with limited code and bandwidth. Dimonoff said the addition makes it easier to integrate the platform with third-party analytics and reporting tools, and that organizations can use their own MQTT broker or Dimonoff’s cloud-based option.
The announcement included a demonstration video showing Omron environmental sensors integrated with the Dimonoff | SCMS platform through MQTT.
