Architecture

The following diagram explains the architecture of the IoT solution:

As illustrated in the previous diagram, a typical IoT solution consists of three main pieces:

  • Device connectivity
  • Data processing and analytics
  • Presentation

In our implementation of the Azure IoT suite, we are going to work with all three. We are going to use existing IoT devices, such as a Raspberry Pi 3 with a DHT11 sensor, and then connect it to the IoT hub or, as illustrated in the previous diagram, the IoT device gateway.

Then, using the concept of device twin, we are going to persist the configuration and data. A device twin in Azure IoT is quite similar ...
