SMQ-Contrib Repository
The SuperMQ-Contrib repository serves as a collection of additional services, tools, and extensions that complement the SuperMQ platform. These contributions include features that did not make it into the main SuperMQ platform but are invaluable for specific use cases. The repository acts as a playground for exploring and testing new ideas and contributions to the ecosystem.
This repository is an excellent starting point for developers looking to contribute new features or experiment with custom services and integrations for SuperMQ.
Available Services in smq-contrib
LoRa
The LoRa Adapter bridges SuperMQ with LoRaWAN networks. It forwards messages between SuperMQ and a LoRaWAN Server using MQTT while adhering to JSON and SenML formats. This adapter is ideal for users integrating low-power, wide-area devices into the SuperMQ ecosystem.
OPC-UA
The OPC-UA Adapter serves as a bridge between SuperMQ and OPC-UA servers, enabling seamless communication with industrial devices. It supports browse and subscription methods for retrieving data from nodes on the OPC-UA server and forwards this data to the SuperMQ platform.
Twins Service
The Twins Service introduces the concept of digital twins to SuperMQ. Digital twins provide a unified, abstract representation of complex real-world systems. The Twins Service maintains a history of system states, definitions, and metadata, offering an enhanced way to monitor and manage interconnected devices.
Readers
The Readers Service is designed to persist SuperMQ messages into various databases, providing robust storage options for IoT data. Currently, the following readers are available:
- Cassandra Reader: Integrates with Apache Cassandra to store and query large volumes of IoT data in a distributed, highly available manner.
- InfluxDB Reader: Connects with InfluxDB for efficient time-series data storage and real-time queries.
- MongoDB Reader: Leverages MongoDB for storing structured and semi-structured IoT data with powerful query capabilities.
These readers are implemented as independent services, each designed to interface with the respective database while maintaining compatibility with the SuperMQ messaging infrastructure.
Consumers
Consumers work as specialized services that extract messages from the SuperMQ platform and act upon them, helping integrate SuperMQ with broader data-processing workflows.
