Show sensor data in open thread border router web GUI

[senthil_kumar]

Hi nordic community,

              I'm using Open Thread Border Router build using Linux and an nrf52840 dk board, I want to show my sensor data in open thread border router web GUI, 

             is there any possibility of getting data on Open Thread web GUI?. 

          

            Thanks!

Hi,

I can't see any ways this should be possible without extending/rewriting the web-service yourself to receive and display the data. With the amount of work required to do this, I believe there are better ways of achieving this through other tools.

What format is the incoming data in? If it is CoAP, you may be able to setup a client on the Border Router with a web-interface to see the data. If it is MQTT-SN, you may be able to get the data from the MQTT-SN Gateway and forward it to a web interface.

Best regards,
Jørgen

You can try to enable syslogs in the border router to see if it receives packets (note that the name of the RCP may differ from the example, so you may need to provide a different argument to grep. Try without argument first to see the full log and capture the correct name). It is also possible to use an on-air sniffer or packet capture in the border router to view received/transmitted packets.

Also do point out if i am using wrong examples for my network FTD and MTD devices. Because as in Ideal scenario, the router are the only devices that routes the data. While in my case, my full thread device receive data even if it has switched from router ton child state.    

Most likely, the border router/RCP node acts as the parent for all child nodes in the network. This node will receive and relay the packets to all the receiving nodes in the network.
