  This article will guide the user in setting up the Worldsensing Cloud to iTwin IoT MQTT connection.

  This article will cover the following topics: 

  • CMT Cloud Setup
  • CMT Cloud MQTT Push Settings
  • ITwin IoT CMT Cloud Connection

  CMT Cloud Setup

  Worldsensing and Loadsensing device configuration is performed through the CMT Cloud website.

   

  Set up all projects and devices within the CMT Cloud application. Please contact Worldsensing support with any questions regarding CMT Cloud login or Gateway and Device configuration.

  Once configured, the connection is ready to be set up in iTwin IoT. There are a few pieces of information to gather from the CMT cloud site for input into the iTwin IoT setup.

  

  1. Network- Navigate to the Network page by clicking on the second icon on the left of the page.

  2. Network ID- Record the Network ID listed in the page. This number may also be visible within the Cloud app's URL. The number will also serve as the Connectivity ID in the following setup page.

  

  3. Username- Record your username used to login to CMT cloud.

  4. Password- Record your password used to login to CMT cloud.

  CMT Cloud MQTT Push Settings

  MQTT Push needs to be enabled within CMT Cloud in order for data to be pushed between CMT Cloud and ITwin IoT. To confirm that the Push is enabled, follow the steps below. If MQTT Push is not set up, please contact Bentley Support. 
  

  1. Click on "System Configuration" on the left side of the screen. A pop-up window will appear to the right.

  2. Click on "MQTT Push" in the pop-up window.

  

  

  3. Confirm that the following page, illustrated below, is configured in the same manner as below, including enabling the MQTT Push and SSL checkboxes.

  4. The username for all users will be "loadsensing". Please Reach out to iTwin IoT Customer Success for the Password.

  2. Click on the "+Connection" icon.

  

  3. Select Worldsensing from the available Connections list on the left sidebar.

  4. Click the "Select" icon on the CMT Cloud tile.

  

  5. Network ID- Input the Network ID from step 2 of the previous section.

  6. Connectivity ID- Input the same number as Network ID for the Connectivity ID.

  7. Username- Input your CMT Cloud username used for logging into the application.

  8. Password- Input your CMT Cloud password used for logging into the application.

  Click "Next" once all information has been input.

  

  9. The next page will be the Edit Configuration page for the connection. Standard configuration options like Connection Name change and location inputs are available. After configuration changes have been made, click "Apply".

   

  Once complete, Devices and Sensors will begin populating within the Connectivity module and observations will begin streaming from CMT Cloud.
