In industrial operations, getting data to the cloud is critical to gain insights for increased productivity. Getting the data is simpler; the challenge today is making that data useful once it gets there. Too often, companies race to implement cloud connectivity, collect massive volumes of OT data, and then find themselves stuck. The dashboards don’t… The post Why context is everything: Avoiding data swamps in the cloud appeared first on Cirrus Link.| Cirrus Link
In modern industrial environments, pushing operational data to the cloud is no longer a futuristic idea — it’s an expectation. Whether you’re enabling analytics in Snowflake, monitoring energy use across sites, or training machine learning models, access to clean, timely data from the plant floor is essential. But there’s a cost — and not just…| Cirrus Link
By Arlen Nipper, Co-Creator of MQTT and CTO of Cirrus Link Solutions Just joining us? Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the MQTT story. Once we had the MQTT client and broker model up and running, we began seeing the impact of the architecture, especially when we started eliminating the old poll/response… The post MQTT’s legacy: Report by Exception, openness, and the road ahead appeared first on Cirrus Link.| Cirrus Link
By Arlen Nipper, Co-creator of MQTT and CTO of Cirrus Link Solutions Just joining us? Read part 1 and part 2 of the MQTT story. In that small office at Phillips 66, Andy Stanford-Clark and I began the process of designing what would eventually become MQTT. We weren’t looking to create a standard. We were… The post Inventing MQTT: building a protocol from the ground up appeared first on Cirrus Link.| Cirrus Link
By Arlen Nipper, Co-Creator of MQTT and CTO of Cirrus Link Solutions Just joining us? Read part 1 of the MQTT story. As the reliability of AT&T’s circuits faded and the complexity of proprietary VSAT protocols grew, oil and gas companies were desperate for a better communication model. Enter TCP/IP — and a visionary customer…| Cirrus Link
Please note: this post is a re-write of a previous post about my Vevor weather station that failed after a few months because of ineffective weather seals on the outdoor unit. Given the poor warranty service from Vevor, I instead went and bought a weather station from a local retailer. In my case a Jaycar […]| Made by Mikal

The rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has ushered in a new era of connectivity, real-time data exchange, and smarter decision-making. At the heart of this transformation are two key technologies: MQTT and Sparkplug. While they are widely recognized in the IIoT world, many professionals still find them complex. This post aims to… The post Demystifying MQTT & Sparkplug: The backbone of industrial IoT appeared first on Cirrus Link.| Cirrus Link
By Arlen Nipper, Co-creator of MQTT and CTO of Cirrus Link Solutions In this four-part article series, I’ll explain the technologies and events that led up to Andy Stanford-Clark and me creating MQTT as we know it today.

I recently purchased a ratgdo device to replace MyQ's kit for a local non-cloud dependent solution. ratgdo offers homekit, mqtt, and Control4, Nice/Elan, or Crestron integration. For this tutorial, I'm going to cover ratgdo and MQTT integration.

The advantage of Zigbee devices is that they are very low power, and they communicate in a wireless mesh network. The sensors are small and can work off a CR2032 coin cell for at least 2 years, maybe more. Depending on the type of sensor, they cost around US$10 and are readily available from various […]| irq5.io
I’m a big believer in both Zwave and Zigbee. Both have their pros and cons. Zwave in my opinion is a better technology because of the lack of interference and it propagates further/wider due to being a lower frequency. However, the devices are more expensive and there’s less overall variety. Zigbee on the other hand shares the same frequencies as Wifi (and other technologies) in the 2.4ghz band so interference can be an issue.| Random Musings
