Streams

Outbound flows to deliver collected data from flespi into the target platforms.

Create your first stream with flespi

Quick facts

Streams can forward data from specific devices as well as from entire channels.

If the destination is unavailable, streams use a buffer to temporarily store the messages to be sent.

Streams are not the only option to get data from flespi — you can always use REST or MQTT API for that.

Stream types

Generic HTTP, MQTT, Wialon Retranslator
Cloud services Google IoT Cloud, Amazon AWS IoT, Misrosoft Azure IoT
Telematics & IoT platforms Maxoptra, Thingsboard

Forward your data to third-party platforms

  1. Log in with the flespi panel.

  2. Go to Telematics hub in the left-side menu -> Streams -> click “+”.

  3. Give the new stream a name, pick the proper stream type depending on the destination platform, configure it, and click Save.

  4. Subscribe the stream to the channel(s) and/or device(s) you want to forward data from.

  5. Make sure if the stream started sending data in the logs on the Toolbox tab.
