This looks quite nice, but I'd love to see some more screenshots of widgets and dashboards.

As an aside, I've only worked with Azure's IoT platform, not AWS' - anyone know how the compare?

Thanks GordonS for your compliment. As per your wish, we are creating a demo server for the IoT Dashboard and we will share it in an hour. You can use that to view the widgets & Dashboards.

Also, we are working on integration with Azure IoT as well. Soon, we will update the IoT Dashboard to support Azure IoT along with AWS IOT.

I’m working on IoT Core. It’s good, about what you would expect.

Most everything is solid. Typical AWS issues that there are policy things that only “make sense” (loosely) after you’ve failed at them many times.

My specific annoyance right now is that there is no cross-region compatibility, and the Device Registry has no backup and restore, so you are on your own if you want to take your device registry, back it up, and deploy to a different region.

I haven’t used the Device Shadows because it’s outside my use case but seems like a feature most people would want.

I have no major complaints.

From the Azure side, I'm also pretty happy with it. I only really have 2 gripes.

First, the docs make it sound much harder than it really is, especially around certificates and device registration.

Second, the limitations. I don't know what AWS is like, but Azure loves their limitations. For a service that's meant to scale globally, it's a real PITA for some deployments. It's not an issue for many, but when it is, you're constantly trying to come up with clever ways to avoid them.

+1 on the "Typical AWS issues" regarding policies. Even Amazon's own examples tend to confuse the issue more and it is typically after much trial and error do you attain the sweet spot for sensible policies that prioritize security. My only other gripe is MQTT retain is not supported, although as mentioned Device Shadows do provide this type of feature.

I've checked the code and saw a lot of comments and missing pieces as for example: donutWidgetValueInjecter, verticalWidgetValueInjecter

put it to run and as you may see the widgets dont show too much: https://imgur.com/a/qIuHQ0I

let me know when you finish it :(

Thank you for your evaluation. We Will fix this soon.

Thank you cderivan for your in depth review / usage of the product and your valuable feedback.

This is our initial version. So we have added the most used widget to this. As you said, we have donuts, switch and widgets for publishing messages ( managing devices) which will be enabled in the subsequent release of the Bevywise IoT Dashboard.

We have done a demo setup for the currently available widgets here at http://iotdashboard.mqttserver.com/

Look forward to revert back to you with the next version !!

All of the images aren’t working on your site right now. Maybe the HN traffic brought it down, but it’s a little difficult to visualize without pictures.

Try refreshing the page and check whether you can see the pictures.
