sigfox-iot-data is a
sigfox-gcloud
and
sigfox-aws
adapter for writing Sigfox messages into SQL databases like MySQL and Postgres.
You may read and update Sigfox messages with other modules (such as
sigfox-iot-ubidots
)
before passing to sigfox-iot-data
for writing to the database.
sigfox-iot-data
works with most SQL databases supported by
Knex.js
like MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, MariaDB and Oracle.
sigfox-iot-data
was built with sigfox-aws
/ sigfox-gcloud
, an open-source software framework for building a
Sigfox server with AWS IoT / Google Cloud Functions. Check out sigfox-aws
, sigfox-gcloud
sigfox-iot-data
with Postgres:

-
To send messages from a Sigfox device into your database, you may use this Arduino sketch:
https://github.com/UnaBiz/unabiz-arduino/blob/master/examples/send-light-level/send-light-level.ino
The sketch sends 3 field names and field values, packed into a Structured Message:
ctr - message counter lig - light level, based on the Grove analog light sensor tmp - module temperature, based on the Sigfox module's embedded temperature sensor
-
Alternatively, you may test by sending a Sigfox message from your Sigfox device with the
data
field set to:920e82002731b01db0512201
We may also use a URL testing tool like Postman to send a POST request to the
sigfoxCallback
URL.Set the
Content-Type
header toapplication/json
. If you're using Postman, clickBody
->Raw
->JSON (application/json)
Set the body to:{ "device":"1A2345", "data":"920e82002731b01db0512201", "time":"1476980426", "duplicate":"false", "snr":"18.86", "station":"0000", "avgSnr":"15.54", "lat":"1", "lng":"104", "rssi":"-123.00", "seqNumber":"1492", "ack":"false", "longPolling":"false" }
where
device
is your Sigfox device ID.Here's the request in Postman:
-
The response from the callback function should look like this:
{ "1A2345": { "noData": true } }
-
The test message sent above will be decoded and written to your
sensordata
table asctr (counter): 13 lig (light level): 760 tmp (temperature): 29
The other fields of the Sigfox message will be written as well.
