Using Azure IOt hub for an Iot application

Question

I am currently working with a company to help design an IoT application that will transmit REAL-TIME, DIGITAL timestamp, temperature, and pressure values to MS Azure Cloud.

Using the Azure IoT hub, this data will be then PUSHED via JSON File where I am supposed to develop a real-time PowerBI dashboard for the same.

I am asking this here to know if anyone has done this before and if someone has, what are my toughest steps? Are there any resources that I can refer to for this project?

Please feel free to ask for any details and I will update the question asap!
Please guide me towards resources that you think will be important. All help is welcome.

Hello @Amandeep Singh Virdi ,

Great to hear you are building a full end-to-end IoT solution.

What you want to do is possible using Azure resources like the combination of an IoT Hub and Azure Stream Analytics.

The second one has a direct output to PowerBI.

You could also choose to first put the telemetry in some persistent storage like Sql Azure and use that as the source of information.

Pushing JSON files is the default way to communicate with the IoTHub in any SDK that Microsoft offers.

IoT touches the physical world so that part could be tricky.

I recommend checking out this MS Learn Learning path about Azure IoT.
