Azure IoT Node.js Device Client Library

The Azure IoT Node.js Device Client Library is can be used to build applications on devices that interact with Azure IoT Hub.

Features

• Send event data to Azure IoT Hub.
• Receive messages from IoT Hub.
• Support for multiple communications protocols, including MQTT (optionally over WebSockets), AMQP (optionally over WebSockets), or HTTP.
• Synchronize an Azure IoT Hub device Twin with Azure IoT Hub from a device
• Implement Azure IoT Hub Direct Device Methods on devices
• Implement Azure IoT Device Mangement features on devices

How to use the Azure IoT device SDK for Node.js

• Get started in minutes with the azure-iot-device npm package
• Check out the simple samples provided in this repository
• Try out the Node-RED node for Azure IoT Hub

Directory structure

Device SDK subfolders:

/core

Device SDK Client package. This is used in conjunction with a protocol implementation package coming from one of the transport folder.

/transport

Protocol-specific SDK packages for: AMQP, AMQP over WebSockets, MQTT, MQTT over WebSockets and HTTP.

/samples

Sample applications exercising basic features.

/node-red

Sample Node-RED module for Azure IoT Hub.

This is meant to serve only basic scenarios for testing and is not recommended as a production-ready node-red module.
