Asset Tracker

[Yano]

Hi, do you have a schematic / diagram that shows the architecture of the asset tracker application / nRF Cloud?

Does it use MQTT for communication?

Does it use the AWS IoT MQTT broker?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

The Asset Tracker sample uses MQTT to communicate with our nRF Cloud Server which uses the AWS platform (some details here).

Here is a simplified diagram of the communication:

Hi, I am confused, why tracker app  not make use of the MQTT lib as the MQTT sample does ?

I changed the tracker to use AWS_IOT (sucessfully)  can I use exiting mechanism to send to "shadow"

What I try to say is that I dont know the format difference between state/shadow and MQTT

Shadow has its own "topics" , but publishing to shadow do not seem to use thoose topics.

Can you point me to any source if information on how "shadow" relates to MQTT if all this is sent on same IP-port it must be the format, unfortunately its not been an easy google for me.
