Connect Azure IoT Hub to ThingWorx
Use the ThingWorx Azure IoT Hub Connector with simulated appliances.
Project Concept
This project will introduce ThingWorx and Azure IoT Hub integration. The combination of these two platforms extends the ThingWorx utilities to Azure IoT Hub edge devices and allows integration with Azure Blob Storage accounts.
Following the steps in this guide, you will install the ThingWorx Azure IoT Hub Connector and run a simulated Azure device.
We will teach you how to build powerful and scalable IoT applications by integrating ThingWorx and Azure IoT Hub.
