Machinechat® JEDI Pro Seeed Studio Edition
is the industry's most affordable IoT data visualization and monitoring software. Designed specifically for commercial IoT deployments, Machinechat® JEDI Pro Seeed Studio Edition features:
• Capture data from Seeed Studio's SenseCAP LoRa sensors using the integrated Seeed Studio data collector (Chirpstack installation required) • Capture data
from virtually any device or sensor using the integrated HTTP API server, TCP server, and MQTT broker.
• Configure dashboards to visualize historical and real-time data with line, area, tile, data graph, and radial charts.
• Monitor data using a built-in rules engine to trigger email and SMS notifications, or run external scripts (*email notifications require an SMTP server. SMS requires a Twilio account).
• Monitor whether devices and machines are online.
• Apply your custom business logic to IoT data through the data collector and action plugins
. • The virtual data sensor allows developers and integrators to simulate project deployment scenarios.
• Low-code: focuses on configuration, not coding.
• Simple binary application that runs as a service with an integrated database and local, managed data storage.
• Modern browser-based user interface with SSL support and role-based user management.
• Supports up to 200 devices/sensors.
• Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone® platforms.
