I believe that Azure IoT edge (GA) supports ingesting data from MQTT devices. Can someone point us as to how to enable MQTT protocol ingester module in IoT edge ? How to configure it? Is there tutorial on the same ?

if you haven't gotten an answer already, you can find a sample here -> http://busbyland.com/connect-mqtt-client-to-azure-iot-edge/... it's not really via a 'module', but rather you can connect an MQTT client directly to IoT Edge and send messages

I'm using iot edge modules. I need to send messages to the hub from the edge module.
Per my understanding, I need to send it first to the iot edge hub, the edge hub will take care of transferring it to the cloud iot hub. I can consume it from there.
If that's supported, I'm looking for a REST sample on how to do that (or just REST documentation)
To send data to the IoT Edge hub, a module calls the SendEventAsync method.
ModuleClient client = new ModuleClient.CreateFromEnvironmentAsync(transportSettings);
await client.OpenAsync();
await client.SendEventAsync(“output1”, message);
Checkout the below link for moduleclient class methods and properties.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.devices.client.moduleclient?view=azure-dotnet
You don't necessarily have to use the ModuleClient SDK if you want to sent messages through IoT Edge to the cloud. The alternative would be to use IoT Edge in a transparent gateway mode: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-connect-downstream-device
In this way your (virtual) device could connect to the Edge Hub just as it would connect directly to the IoT Hub - using AMQP, MQTT or - as you want to - HTTP.
I am working on a simple dashboard for showing IoT data in a browser.
So far, I was using the Paho MQTT client library and a public MQTT broker to receive data. However, I'd like to use the Azure IoT Hub from now on.
The data I'm sending is just simple temperature and humidity values.
I already found out that I can't connect to the IoT Hub via MQTT. So my question is:
Is there a possibility to connect (eg. using javascript) directly to IoT Hub and read the data?
If not, what's my best option?
I thought about saving the messages to an SQL Database and reading from that, but that seems quite complicated for what should be a simple IoT use case (showing real-time data)
Thank you in advance!
You can connect to IoT Hub via MQTT. Please take a look at this documentation for detail. We also have a Node.js SDK for connecting to IoT Hub if you don't want to deal with MQTT directly. I know you are working on your own dashboard, but have you looked at Azure IoT Solutions Accelerator? It's completely open source and you can modify it as you want.
I want to send SIM808 GPS data to the Azure IoT hub using MQTT.
As mentioned in docs of azure, I have used the same parameters.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-mqtt-support#using-the-mqtt-protocol-directly
But it doesn't work. Did not published.
Can we connect to Azure MQTT using Username and password without attaching certificate? if not
How to create the certificate?
How to send SIM808 data to the Azure IoT hub using MQTT?
Suggest me a way to do it with an example.
Thanks!!!
Yes, you can do it. You can use tokens.
As a simplest alternative you may also use flespi telematics hub to reach same goal. Your device can send via HTTP or MQTT messages to flespi channel. And flespi will stream processed information to MS Azure and/or AWS in their specific protocols.
I have some devices that sends their data to my Azure IoT Hub. For now, a Stream analytics job processes the data, but I would also like to "forward" the data stream to an external Mosquitto server. How can I do that? Can I set up the IoT Hub to function as a MQTT Bridge?
Thanks in advance for help! (Sorry, I'm a little new to this...)
One option: You can use Azure Functions to process the incoming data and forward it to your Mosquito server.
Do you know if it is possible to retrieve device-to-cloud messages, with Microsoft Azure and IoT Hub, with a javascript client running in the browser (i.e. no node js) ?
It is my understanding that this is not currently possible, but I'd like to make sure (i.e. all current APIs can only work server side).
Edit1: REST APIs might be the obvious choice to attempt to do this; However, having tried these APIs via manual request, it seems the response does not provide the allow-access-control-origin header, so I can't call them from ajax due to CORS.
UPDATE: The example code was removed by requirement from Azure IoT Hub team, and they do not like users to connect to IoT Hub from browsers (https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-node/issues/112#issuecomment-338073636).
Sorry for the broken links in this answer.
It seems this is an old question, however, I find there is still nobody can give the right answer.
In short, is there a way to read IoT Hub D2C messages in browser? The answer is absolute YES!
You shouldn't use RESTful API to loop checking messages, but use AMQP over WebSockets.
Before you start, you must know that IoT Hub has two sides, Device side and Service side. For Device side, you connect to IoT Hub using HTTP, AMQP and MQTT, however, for Service side you can ONLY connect to IoT Hub using AMQP.
Fortunately, Red Hat had already written a AMQP over WebSockets Node module, and you can do some simple work to make it working in browser.
You can learn more about the AMQP Node module from https://github.com/grs/rhea.
Also, we've made a web based tool for receiving D2C messages https://iotdevtool.com/service/, you can learn more about it from https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/zhiqing/2017/03/16/connect-to-azure-event-hub-in-browser-using-amqp-over-websockets/.
I haven't tried it myself but my understanding is that it's possible to retrieve cloud-to-device messages in JavaScript using the IoT Hub REST API.
