Sensors play a vital role in any Embedded Solution. Sensors on your edge device can help you to monitor your edge device’s health. They also can help you to monitor the entities you attach a sensor to (e.g. robot arms).

Data flow of sensor metrics

Three basic steps are needed to integrate sensors into your Embedded Solution:

  1. Connect a sensor physically to your edge device.
  2. Assign the sensor (and its metrics) to your TeamViewer Account.
  3. Use sensor metrics for monitoring (e.g. set alerts and notifications.

Sensor metrics and data are handled as defined by the TeamViewer Embedded MQTT API Push Metric Values section to visualize it in real-time.
