Step1 : setup Pilot Things Microsoft integration

Common parameters section

See example hereunder:

Specific parameters section

Fill the connection string field (read how below)
Select either Telemetry or device twin message type
Enter a positif number on Max retry for example 3 which corresponds of the number of retry Pilot Things does in case the connexion is broken

To get the connection string, connect on your Azure portal:

Click on iothubowner policy and copy the Connection string -- primary key and paste on Pilot Things

See example hereunder:

Message format section

By selecting message,thing or product you modify the message thus the properties send to IoT Hub.

Integration final validation

Click on Test connection and save.

The integration is done.

How to stop sending messages?

When you create an integration, Pilot Things creates automatically a scenario which sents all messages to Azure IoT Hub.

If you want to disable the scenario you can uncheck enable in the scenario menu.

If you want to stop sending messages you must uncheck enable in the scenario menu.

Use case with telemetry messages

This use case explains how to harness the integration with telemetry messages.

You need to create a Azure storage account, a routes data, a endpoint and a container.

Now we will see how to configure route for telemetry integration :

You need to enter a name of route
On data source select a Device Messages
On Endpoint select your endpoint, in this example the name of endpoint is Twins
In Query string part, you can put a rule like, a parameter, a logical operation and a value.

You can test your route, in test part.

When you route is ready, you can see your data in the container :

Use case data as Device twins

You need to create a azure storage account, a routes data, a endpoint and a container.

Now we will see how to configure route for device twins integration :

When you route is ready, you can see your data in the container :

Query request :

We can make a query request with query explorer, in first time you can make this request to understand the structure of message :

SELECT * FROM c

We can see the data of temperature in the red box.

If you want to keep the temperature data for example you can use this request :

SELECT properties.reported.measure.temperature FROM c
