1. Provision an IOT Platform service in Bluemix

2. Add a device based on a new or existing device type

3. Write down the generated token from this device and store into a file called device.json

{
  "org": "You-Org-D",
  "id": "Your-Device-Id",
  "type": "Your-Device-Type",
  "auth-method": "token",
  "auth-token": "Your-Device-Token"
}

1. Create a node.js application with the following code

var iotf = require("ibmiotf");
var config = require("./device.json");

var deviceClient = new iotf.IotfDevice(config);

//setting the log level to debug. By default == 'warn'
deviceClient.log.setLevel('debug');

deviceClient.connect();

deviceClient.on('connect', function () {
  var i = 0;
  console.log("connected");
  setInterval(function function_name() {
    i++;
    deviceClient.publish('myevt', 'json', '{"value":' + i + '}', 2);
  }, 2000);
});

1. Run your application. You should see the following output:

1. Go to the Dashboard on IOT Platform on Bluemix. You should see the following result:

1. Provision a Node-RED service from the Bluemix catalog

2. Import the Node-RED flow nodered-mqtt-flow.json

3. You should see the following flow

1. Create a message payload as follows:

1. Configure the MQTT Broker node:

The topic should be: iot-2/evt/myevt/fmt/json

The server should be: YOUR-ORG-ID.messaging.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com

The port should be: 8883 for TLS

The client id should: d:<your-org-id>:<your-device-type>:<your-device>

1. Click on Inject node to simulate an event.
