Demo of IBM Bluemix IoT Real-Time Insights Service for Drone Battery Monitoring

The article demonstrates how IBM Bluemix's IoT Real-Time Insights service can monitor drone battery levels and GPS data, automatically sending notification emails when battery thresholds are crossed, showcasing virtual data models and real‑time device condition monitoring within a cloud‑based IoT platform.

Demo of IBM Bluemix IoT Real-Time Insights Service for Drone Battery Monitoring

Earlier this month Greg Knowles blogged about the new Bluemix service IoT Real-Time Insights. Below is a quick demo of one of the many capabilities of this service. When the battery level of a drone falls under a certain percentage, notification emails are sent.

"The IBM IoT Real-Time Insights service allows you to understand IoT data in context and monitor the conditions of your devices and operations. IoT Real-Time Insights works with Internet of Things Foundation to enrich and monitor data from your devices, visualize what’s happening now, and respond to emerging conditions through automated actions."

As Ryan Baxter and I have blogged about, in our team we have built some nice drone demos via the Internet of Things service in Bluemix. In my simple test I used the Insights service and pointed it to our IoT drone organization.

In the web user interface of the Insights service you can define virtual data models for the data sent from your devices. In the drone sample this is the battery percentage and GPS data.
