Contribution request #39

Dear CEP/Proton team,

at our Accelerator EUROPEANPIONEERS, we have tested some Enablers, also Proton.

One of our results is a IoT machine/Raspberri Pi setup, communicating with the Enabler for this component.

Do you think this could be a useful contribution to the project, allowing new developers very easy visual access to Enabler features, with 1 minute setup?

Please have a look:

If you like it - can we make it to a pull request?

kind regards Peter

Hi, Sounds interesting as a PI application. Looking at your github repository, you are using old resources of cep-proton from the fiware repository. Our Docker file and images are now much simpler than those picked up some 2 months ago. As for the application itself for NFC detection - I can appreciate this feature, but it would be like any of the many applications (being CEP rules) with CEP that one can write. We don't have a repository for "recipes", only some examples in a generic way more or less. Yet, the PI implementation - as I said - would be of value, though again, I don't see where can we reference it in the documentations, or even evaluate it.

Today, I'd view your app as an IoT edge application which would report events to some IoT server, working with MQTT. Your MQTT package on the PI would be of a value by itself. Now the events going up to this server can be processed with - say - a NodeRed network flow which may at the end work with CEP. In fact, we may make such a CEP client node for NodeRed as a valuable component to include in our package of Proton. I think that with this architecture in mind, your contribution can have a wider implications and usage.

Many thanks,
