Google Cloud announced that it’s shutting down its IoT Core service on August 16, 2023. The alternative for exchanging the data with the Google ecosystem is the Google Pub/Sub service destined to establish asynchronous communication between applications and solutions. With flespi you can publish telemetry data to Google Pub/Sub and then subscribe to the appropriate topics to get that data in the desired destinations.
Create a project in Google Console. You will need to paste the project ID into the stream configuration later.
Create appropriate topics.
Create a flespi stream to publish messages to these topics. Specify your Google project ID (from step 1), service email (learn how to create a service account), and the private key for IAM authorization in the stream configuration:
