nRF9160: LTE Sensor Gateway and Google Cloud

[Apfelsine]

Good evening,

Does the current version of the nRF9160: LTE Sensor Gateway sample support Google Cloud IoT Core as cloud backend?

[Carl Richard]

Hello, Apfelsine!

The nRF Connect SDK does not yet have any official Google Cloud IoT core support, meaning the the LTE Sensor Gateway example doesn't support this out-of-the-box either. However, I suggest taking a look at our "How to connect nRF9160 DK to Google Cloud" blog post, which includes an implementation of a Google Cloud backend for NCS and the nRF9160. It's made by some of our interns and should be possible to integrate with the LTE Sensor Gateway. 

Best regards,
Carl Richard

@Apfelsine, I adapted the Zephyr google_iot_mqtt example to work on my nRF9160-DK dev kit with nRF Connect SDK v1.71. and modem firmware v1.31, so this may be a good starting point for you. See this pull request. Instructions are in the README.rst.

I moved the example to a new repo github.com/.../sdk-nrf.
