How to register Arduino in Intel IoT Analytics?

Question

Arduino

The article habrahabr.ru/post/257621 describes how to transfer data from Intel Edison to Intel IoT Analytics. At the same time, in the comments, the author claims that it is not necessary to use Edison products to send data to the cloud. Q: How can I register my Arduino device with Internet access (Ethernet shield or ESP8266) in Intel IoT Analytics?

Answer 1

Indeed, it is not necessary to use devices from Intel to work with the cloud. Data exchange is carried out via HTTP REST and WebSocket (to connect to the device from the Intel IoT Analytics side). Data exchange with the cloud is possible only via https, i.e. The device must support SSL encryption. Arduino (Atmega) does not include hardware encryption modules, and the chip itself will not pull in performance. Moreover, Ethernet support on Arduino eats up a lot of resources. It is more appropriate to use controllers on ARM, such as STM32, or whatever on Linux: Raspberry Pi, Cubieboard. As an option for Arduino, ThingSpeak Channel

Answer 2

There are official examples here https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-samples/blob/m... But they are for working in the Arduino-Edison bundle, I didn’t figure out if there are already ready-made libraries. In any case, you can use the rest api https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-api/wiki/Devic...
