Cumulocity agent for Bosch XDK rapid
prototype device
This project is a device agent to connect the Bosch XDK to Cumulocity (C8Y Agent for
XDK). The XDK is a quick and professional prototyping platform for prototyping IoT use
cases.
For this demo a Cumulocity tenant and an XDK device is required. For a free trial tenant
you can register
here .
When the XDK is registered in a Cumulocity tenant the environmental sensor readings
measured by the XDK are sent to the Cumulocity IoT cloud. Potential use cases are:
•
Control & monitor heating -> temperature sensor, acoustic sensor
•
Control & monitor lighting in building -> digital light sensor
•
Control & monitor machine -> acceleration sensor

2 Overview of features XDK device agent
The device agent allows to send measurements from the XDK to your Cumulocity tenant.
These measurements can be visualised in dashboards. In the downstream direction
operation commands can be sent to the XDK using the device managment app in
Cumulocity: change configuration of sensors, stop/start publishing measurements and
restarting the device.
To get an idea of the currently active configuration the device agent sends its current
