Building IoT Apps With Low-Code Platforms
Low-code platforms provide a lot of value to IoT-driven applications. In this blog, we will show you how we created a complete building management application using a low-code platform— Progress Rollbase—in a single day. This is the kind of productivity that enables IoT providers to accelerate solutions delivery and facilitate IoT deployments.
Each room is equipped with a device that monitors temperature, carbon dioxide, humidity and VOC (volatile organic compound, these are toxic chemicals that cause skin or respiratory problems). Additionally, the temperature can be adjusted remotely with the application.
It is relatively simple: a building is the main object, and it can have n rooms.
A building has a fair number of attributes, most notably a location to get automatic integration with Google Maps.
The room object is where the interesting part happens. With a generic REST trigger, we can get access to various metrics. With Rollbase no-code REST invocation, this is a very easy process to setup. You use our REST Mapper tool to store metrics of interest in the Room object. For more information on this, see these two blogs: Low-Code REST Integration with Rollbase and Introduction to Rollbase V4.5—New UI Features & More.
