Recording: thin-edge.io meetup #11

I really liked the demo of the flows with thin edge.

One issue that we are running into and is a constant headache is the topic of grouping multiple different datapoints together and sending them as a single measurement. Many data sources support sending MQTT messages. However, the messages are usually sent per data point - often to individual MQTT topics per data point.

Is it possible to use the flows to gather those individual topics and send them together as a single measurement to c8y?

Also, when will the video be posted to Youtube? I screwed up my screenshots :wink:

Hi Christoph,

thank your for your positive feedback!
For the recording I hope to upload it in the next days and will post it here, so you will be informed about it.

For the question how to join multiple data points I leave it to the thin-edge.io team to answer.

My guess would be you can use the context to store data points in memory and when all data points are available generate a measurement as an output.

Yes that should definitely possible with tedge flows. As an example I just copied your text (requirement) and gave it to AI (using copilo, Claude Sonnet 4.6), and it was able to create a PR to at least do one possible solution (the original text was fairly vague but it should be enough to highlight how easy it was).

With flows on the thin-edge.io they have both the onMessage handler as well as an onInterval handler, and together you can do some batching/aggregation.
