Hi all, I would like to know if you could help me to make a connection between Flespi and Azure IoT Central. How should I do it or where should I read?

Thank you very much in advance!

    romankiss thanks for explanations. By opening your link I found out that it should be quite easy to integrate flespi to Azure IoT Central using device bridge. On the flespi side you will need to create webhook that will send HTTP REST requests for each message in the format expected by the bridge listener:

    I'm not sure what is easier way to got - using webhook or as you proposed MQTT/IoTSubscriber way. Just as an additional option to have the choice.

    If there will be a demand we can add to flespi such integration in native way, as a stream type.

      shal thanks for inputs, From the architecture point of the view, using the Azure Event Grid (AEG) as an integrator resource will enable to deliver source interest such as the Flespi's messages basically to any Azure destination resource in the reliable manner of the Pub/Sub eventing model.

      Using the AEG Pub/Sub eventing model, the events can be delivered via FAN-OUT pattern to many azure resources such as storage queue, service bus, event hub, etc. Note, that the Azure Event Hub downstream can be analysed using the Azure Stream Analytics jobs with exporting to Power-Bi dashboards, etc.
      Besides that, the AEG has an advanced filtering with capabilities of the message enrichment.

      Currently, the AEG doesn't have a built-in destination handler for azure resource such as Azure IoT Central App, so that's the reason why has to be built it as a custom subscriber triggered by webhook handler.

      Note, that the source interest can be ingested into the AEG model via the https endpoint such as a custom topic and/or via the MQTT Broker currently in the preview version. In other words, the AEG can be integrated with the Flespi via the MQTT and/or HTTP Webhook.

      I don't have an experience with Flespi, just now I tried to help with integration to the Azure IoT Central App, but it will be nice to have capability of the IoT PnP such as using the device model driven by DTDL version 2 which is required by Azure IoT Central.

        First I would to say thank you for everyone.

        I made a connection using device bridge and I got data from Flespi to Azure Central. Great!

        Now I explain what I need to set in Flespi and maybe you can help me with that.

        Im gonna to receive a large group of devices. Now I setted up just one device to test the stream (Flespi - Azure IoT Central) where I had to type the IMEI device. The topic is, I want to register devices without typing manually the IMEI of each one. I wonder if there is a possibility to use the information from the payload of each device that connect through a channel (or other way) to fill the IMEI field, in this way, register devices in Flespi automatically.

        Thank you so much again!!

          You can open your channel -> idents tab and click orange button to create webhook.
