>> Hello, everyone. My name is MJ Sharma
and I work on the Azure IoT Central team.
Today I'm going to talk to you about
how Azure IoT Central simplifies
IoT solution development and lets you
easily analyze the health and telemetry of your devices.
Let me quickly show you a demo of what I'm talking about.
Once you're done setting up
your app and have connected a few devices,
you can click the data explorer in the Analyze section of
the nav menu to start analyzing the device elementary.
In our Contoso app here,
we have sensors installed in each of
our buildings to gather telemetry for occupancy,
temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels.
We recently installed occupancy sensors
to monitor the number of people present in each building.
Last week, we noticed an interesting battery.
The battery level supported by
these new occupancy sensors were really low,
so we did a formal update to rectify them.
Let's see how we can quickly use the data explorer to
analyze and compare that telemetry
for before and after the update.
We'll create a simple query for this.
Let's select the North Campus Occupancy Census.
We are interested in the battery level.
Let's group them by device ID.
Click on ''Analyze'' and let's shift the time a little bit.
These were the values before the update
and these are the new values after the update.
As you can see, the built-in data explorer
helps us easily spot trends and anomalies.
I can also easily save the queries for future analysis.
In this case, looks like
the telemetry is definitely in the desired range,
but the values are fluctuating a lot
and we may need to update the sensors one more time.
I think it'll be a good idea to open this to
a dashboard so that we can easily monitor this data.
Let's select our North Campus Dashboard and pin it over there.
Once pinned, we can easily go to the dashboard to
monitor the telemetry instead of running this query each time.
As you can see, the query has been successfully
pinned to the dashboard for real-time monitoring.
Dashboards in IoT Central can easily help us monitor
real-time telemetry from our entire fleet of connected sensors.
I can easily create a new dashboard
by selecting the new dashboard button.
Here you can easily select whether it's
a personal or organizational level dashboard.
Once I'm on a new dashboard,
I can easily create a chart
using our growing library of built-in widgets.
To create a tile, you can either start with a visual or a device.
Let's add a CO2 sensor.
Let's add a tile to show the number of CO2 sensors we have.
I'll pick a countile for this.
I'm building this support for my South Campus.
Let me pick this out South Campus CO2 sensors.
Using this process, you can easily add a few tiles
but another way to speed up
the dashboard building process is to reuse.
What I will do is I'll save this over
here and let's go back to our North Campus Dashboard.
After adding the number of CO2 sensors,
we see that we may also need the number of occupancy sensors.
What I will do is quickly edit this tile or edit this dashboard,
and copy this to my current dashboard.
Let's give it a name.
I can then use this message
to easily navigate to my new dashboard.
Now you can see I have two tiles
created when I create it from scratch and I just
reused some existing work and here I can easily edit
this to go from North Campus to South Campus Census.
I think my South Campus Dashboard needs a few more tiles.
I can either spend a few minutes now to
create those tiles from scratch or because I
know that my new dashboard will have
similar tiles as my other dashboard.
I can easily duplicate an existing dashboard to create a new one.
To create a new dashboard based on an existing dashboard,
select the ''Copy'' option.
Once created, I can easily update
the tile configurations as for my needs.
As you can see in this demo,
IoT Central not only enables you to view
the big picture by getting the real-time read on
the health of your devices with
customizable dashboard but also lets you analyze
every little detail by drilling into
the device telemetry using
the built-in data explorer in the IoT central app.
I hope you-all enjoyed this demo.
