Simple Mbed Cloud Client

A simple way of connecting Mbed OS 5 devices to Mbed Cloud. It's designed to:

• Enable Mbed Cloud Connect and mbed Cloud Update to applications in few lines of code.
• Run separate from your main application, it does not take over your main loop.
• Provide LWM2M resources, essentially variables that are automatically synced through Mbed Cloud Connect.
• Help users avoid doing blocking network operations in interrupt contexts, by automatically defering actions to a separate thread.

This library is a simpler interface to Mbed Cloud Client, making it trivial to expose sensors, actuators and other variables to the cloud. For a full Mbed Cloud CLient API, check our documentation.

Usage to Connect to Mbed Cloud

1. Add this library to your Mbed OS project:

   $ mbed add https://github.com/ARMmbed/simple-mbed-cloud-client
   

2. Add your Mbed Cloud developer certificate to your project (mbed_cloud_dev_credentials.c file).

3. Reference the library from your main.cpp file, add network and storage drivers; finally initialize the Simple Mbed Cloud Client library.

   #include "simple-mbed-cloud-client.h"
   #include <Block device>
   #include <Filesystem>
   #include <Network>
   
   int main() {
   
       /* Initialize connectivity */
       <Network> net;
       net.connect();
   
       /* Initialize storage */
       <Block device> sd(...);
       <Filesystem> fs("sd", &sd);
   
       /* Initialize Simple Mbed Cloud Client */
       SimpleMbedCloudClient client(&net, &sd, &fs);
       client.init();
   
       /* Create resource */        
       MbedCloudClientResource *variable;
       variable = client.create_resource("3201/0/5853", "variable");
       variable->set_value("assign new value");
       variable->methods(M2MMethod::GET | M2MMethod::PUT);
   
   }

Example applications

There are a number of applications that make usage of the Simple Mbed Cloud Client library.

The Mbed Cloud Quick-Start is an initiative to support Mbed Partner's platforms while delivering a great User Experience to Mbed Developers.
