1. How to use IoT in Bluemix
Leonard Walletzký

2. Introducing IoT in BlueMIx

3. Smartphone as sensor Enter your Device ID and email
Accept the conditions
Click Next

4. How to use your device data in your app?
Example – how to use simulated GPS device in the BlueMix
First we need to create a new IoT application, simulating sensor
In your dashboard, click to Create App
Select IoT Platform Starter
Name your app and click Create
Wait for Node Red ready

5. Simulated sensor Select all nodes and delete
In IS open the file IoTsensor.txt and select Import > Clipboard
Copy the content of the file into the text frame
Place the new flow
Leave Node Red open and return to Dashboard

6. Connection to API
Your application cannot communicate with sensor directly
You need to create interface – to be able to communicate with more devices and prevent the attacks
In the list of services find IoT Platform for your device

7. Watson IOT Board Remember your organization ID Click on Devices
You need to create new device to be connected with your sensor
Click Add Device
Click on Create device type
Click on Create device type again
Enter name for the type – like Simulated_device and click Next
Leave template and metadata blank by clicking Next and click Create

8. Create your device connection
Select your type and click Next
Add the name for the device
Provide some simple token ( )
Click Add
After viewing the summary, you will see your device

9. Generating API connections
Click on Apps
Delete API Key
Create new API Key
Copy and save Authentication Token!!!!
Click Generate

10. Connecting the device Go back to your Node Red editor
DoubleClick on Publish to IoT node
Click to Server
To Server write: <your organization>.messaging.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com
To Client ID: d:<your organization>:<device type>:<device name>

11. Connecting the device To Security part To username: use-token-auth
To password copy your generated token for the device
Press Update
Press Done
Press Deploy

12. Connecting the device Go to Watson IoT platform dashboard
If you were successfull, you should see something like this

13. Creating the application
Create New App
From IS download phpmqtt library and put into your repository
From IS download IoT_example.php
Modify source code in IoT_example.php using your credentials
Start your application

15. API to services How can I see all services connected to my app?
How can I get their credentials?
In Dashboard, click on App name and then to Connections
Under each you can click to View Credentials

16. Variable VCAP_SERVICES
All credentials are available via $ENV[„VCAP_SERVICES“]
For of its usage see db.php in our previous MySQL example
To see all credentials in command line use cf env <name of your app>

17. Get familiar with API
Each service has detailed documentation of API

18. API Explorer

19. Language Translator

20. Translator - example Click on GET /v2/translate Fill the form
And click Try it out!

21. To use Translator Folloow the tutorial
