iCOMOX

The iCOMOX connector is a field connector that reads sensor data from an iCOMOX device through MQTT.

ADXL356 Downsampling FactorDownsampling for the analog accelerometer.
BMM150 Downsampling FactorDownsampling for the magnetometer.
IM69D130 Downsampling FactorDownsampling for the microphone.

Runtime behavior

When the connector starts, it subscribes to the MQTT topics for the selected iCOMOX device and processes incoming sensor reports.

Reniway automatically creates and updates bridge properties from the reported sensor values. This includes:

  • machine activity information
  • temperature and environmental values
  • accelerometer samples
  • magnetometer samples
  • microphone and vibration-related values

Notes

  • Load the Device ID only after the MQTT settings are valid.
  • Downsampling is important for high-frequency sensors to keep data volumes manageable.
  • iCOMOX properties are generated from live device traffic rather than being defined manually one by one.
