The Worldsensing CMT Edge API connection supports the connection and transfer of data from CMT Edge into the iTwin IoT platform.
For information about Worldsensing gateways and loggers and the sensors compatible with each, please visit our Partner Device Registry.
This article will guide the user in setting up the Worldsensing Edge to iTwin IoT API connection.
This article will cover the following topics:
Retrieving iTwin IoT Asset API Key
An API key from the iTwin IoT asset will be required in order to establish the data transfer connection between Worldsensing and iTwin IoT. This section will guide the user in retrieving an API key from iTwin IoT.
1. Navigate to the Asset that data will be pushed to in iTwin IoT. From any page, click on the "Configure" icon in the lower left side of the page.
2. The user will be directed to the "Asset Configuration" page. The API key will be available within a tile on this page. The API key can either be highlighted and copied, or the "Copy to Clipboard" button will save it for pasting in future steps.
CMT Edge Setup
Worldsensing and Loadsensing device configuration is performed through the CMT Edge network management software.
Set up all projects and devices within the CMT Edge application. Please contact Worldsensing support with any questions regarding CMT Edge app login or Gateway and Device configuration.
Once configured, the API connection is ready to be set up in iTwin IoT.
