Is third party cloud service necessary for remote access of sensor outputs?

Apart from internet connectivity at main and remote locations, Do I need to opt any third party could service to see the real time output of the sensors installed at main location with gateway? If yes, who offers this service and how the cost will be calculated?

Hi @trivedijm No, it is not necessary to use a third-party service to view real-time sensor data at the main location. By accessing Node-RED (running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway), you can directly see the data transmitted by the sensor. Additionally, you can use the Dashboard framework to create a dynamic dashboard or choose one of the options we offer.

If you want to monitor or analyze sensor data in cloud services, you can utilize third-party Node-RED libraries. Moreover, we have partnerships with cloud providers, and you can review their plans and costs.

Note: I’ve also responded to your ticket.

Thank you,

Thanks for your reply. So I need to install Node-RED in the PC at main location in which I wish to see the real time sensor outputs. Node-RED will also allow to create a dashboard. to see graphical vie of the sensor outputs. How the standard e mail alerts can be generated? Like if sensor output crosses certain limits, need to generate alerts.

Further there will be no recurring cost to run the system if I am using Node-RED in the PC at main location. Just wish to know how the PC at main location will map and hand shake with the gateway at remote location?

You do not need a 2nd Node-RED instance running on a different PC. As @Eduardo_Mtz mentions in the quote above you access Node-Red running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway. To connect to Node-RED (running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway) from the main location you can use a VPN like zerotier or openVPN.

Build a dashboard (in Node-Red) on the gateway install and configure the vpn client on the gateway and the PC at the main location….and… :boom: your done!
