What role do services play in MobiusFlow, and how can I use them in my IoT deployments?
1 Answer
Services in MobiusFlow extend the platform's functionality by providing specialised capabilities such as data processing, communication, and integration with external systems. Examples include REST API services for connecting to third-party platforms, MQTT brokers for real-time messaging, and database services for storing IoT data.
You can use services to enable complex workflows, such as aggregating data from multiple devices, applying transformations or filters, and then sending the results to analytics tools or cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure or AWS. They also facilitate integration with legacy systems, allowing MobiusFlow to act as a centralized hub in diverse IoT environments. Setting up services is straightforward, and once configured, they can be incorporated into workflows as reusable components.
