Getting started
We think open source is key for the Internet of Things, and we want to get you started as simply as possible.
On this page you will find useful resources like videos and presentations given at various conferences, tutorials, as well as a list of server sandboxes you can use to connect your devices.
Connected Greenhouse Tutorial
If you are a Java developer we have a great tutorial for you to get started with Eclipse IoT technology and help you implement an end-to-end solution that will help you connect a greenhouse and associated sensors to the Internet of Things.
Sandboxes
MQTT
You can make use of this MQTT server with client code from the Paho project, the Eclipse MQTT view from Paho, or from one of the other client APIs listed on the MQTT.org downloads page.
Access the server using the hostname
iot.eclipse.org
and port
1883
.
Some live statistics are available via Xively and an HTTP bridge with a list of topics is deployed at http://eclipse.mqttbridge.com. This server is running the Open Source Mosquitto broker in its version 1.3.1.
CoAP
A CoAP server exposing test resources is available at: coap://iot.eclipse.org:5683/
.
It should be used by anyone interested in testing a CoAP client implementation against another endpoint, and more generally by anyone interested in understanding the key concepts of the CoAP protocol.
This server is running Eclipse Californium.
Lightweight M2M (LWM2M)
In order to test LWM2M communication scenarios, we host a LWM2M server.
You can make use of this server with the Wakaama project
The LWM2M server is available at: coap://leshan.eclipse.org:5683
(both IPv4 and IPv6 are available)
A web interface allows to interact with registered LWM2M clients: http://leshan.eclipse.org
.
This server is running the Open Source Leshan server.
