This module extends the Azure IoT Gateway by receiving gateway messages and publishing to a websocket via Socket.io

Installation

To download this module, first install NodeJS LTS and from the command line run:

npm install iot-gateway-socketio --save

Usage

Add the following module to the modules section of your gateway JSON configuration file:

        {
            "name": "node_socketio",
            "loader": {
                "name": "node",

            },
            "args": null
        },
        ...

            "sink": "node_socketio"
        }
