Azure IoT Development Cookbook

By: Yatish Patil

Overview of this book

Microsoft’s end-to-end IoT platform is the most complete IoT offering, empowering enterprises to build and realize value from IoT solutions efficiently. It is important to develop robust and reliable solutions for your organization to leverage IoT services. This book focuses on how to start building custom solutions using the IoT hub or the preconfigured solution of Azure IoT suite. As a developer, you will be taught how to connect multiple devices to the Azure IoT hub, develop, manage the IoT hub service and integrate the hub with cloud. We will be covering REST APIs along with HTTP, MQTT and AMQP protocols. It also helps you learn Pre-Configured IoT Suite solution. Moving ahead we will be covering topics like:-Process device-to-cloud messages and cloud-to-device messages using .Net-Direct methods and device management-Query Language, Azure IoT SDK for .Net-Creating and managing, Securing IoT hub, IoT Suite and many more. We will be using windows 10 IoT core, Visual Studio, universal Windows platform. At the end, we will take you through IoT analytics and provide a demo of connecting real device with Azure IoT.

Real-time alerts with Azure functions

Azure functions are small running pieces of code, or functions, in the cloud. You can write small pieces of code that you need for a specific problem without worrying about the complete application or the infrastructure where we can run it.

There are various existing connectivity options available along with language support.

We will be exposing communication with IoT Hub and exploring how Azure functions can work with our small piece of code.

How to do it...

We will create a Azure function and see how to access IoT Hub real time:

  1. We will continue to use the IoT Hub IoTHubCookBook we created earlier.
  2. Select the Azure function app from new – compute:
  1. Create a new function app...
