Data Sources
For WAKU Care to analyze, visualize, and use machine data for triggers and strategies, your machines must send data to WAKU Care. This page describes where the data comes from.
MQTT as the data integration
Section titled “MQTT as the data integration”WAKU Care offers an MQTT API for a scalable and secure integration between machine and platform. An MQTT client on or near the machine publishes the operational data (missions, errors, measurements), which WAKU Care then assigns to the respective device.
Each device is identified by its WAKU device id, so incoming data is mapped to the correct device.
For the full interface specification — broker connection, topic structure, and message schemas — see MQTT and MQTT Topics.
For access to the MQTT API, contact our Customer Success team. If you have any questions about the MQTT integration, contact us. How data is processed per site is configured in the deployment settings.
