Each group attaches its manager to the IBM Watson IoT Platform, forming a coordinated canopy network!

The Setup

You will build the following setup, in which networks and applications are coordinated through the IBM Watson IoT Platform running on IBM Bluemix.

on IBM Bluemix	Watson IoT Platform	already running	serves as an MQTT broker to which gateways and applications connect
	makeamesh	already running	a Python program which interacts with the gateways to maintain an overall view of the topology
	Node-RED instance	already running	used to monitor the status of the platform (we will not work with it)
next to the manager	gateway	you will launch it in Part 2	the software you run to connect to Watson IoT
anywhere on the planet	application	you will launch it in Part 4	the software you run to interact with your devices and do interesting things

Why call it a "canopy" network?

Building your Gateway

This diagram shows what you will run on your gateway

JsonServer	A Python program which connects to the manager's serial API port, and offers an HTTP JSON interface
Node-RED	Bridges between the IBM Watson IoT Platform and the JsonServer HTTP API

From Part 1: Your First Standalone Network, write down the fourth serial port of your manager. This is your manager's API port (not CLI):

Type the following command:

C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\smartmeshsdk-master\app\JsonServer>python JsonServer.py --serialport=<your manager's API serial port>

Start Node-RED on your local machine by typing
node-red
Open C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\smartmesh-bluemix-master\01-gateway\02-node-red\flows.json with a text editor, copy the entire contents (Ctrl+C)
In Node-RED, choose Import > Clipboard
Paste the flow (Ctrl+V) and click "Import"
A new tab "gateway" appears
If Node-RED complains that it doesn't know what the "Watson IoT" node, you didn't install that extension. Go back to Part 0a: Things to prepare before the session.
Double click on the "to IBM Watson IoT" node
Click on the pen icon next to "manager credentials"
Enter the information contained in your Gateway ID, token and Organization and save
Click the "Deploy" button

Your manager is now connected to the IBM Watson IoT Platform instance! This allows you to interact with your manager and motes entirely from there!

Open https://makeamesh.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/, i.e. the web front-end of the "makeamesh" server running on IBM Bluemix
Once all groups have connected to the IBM Watson IoT Platform, you will see a topology similar to the following:

Sign into https://internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/ using your Member credentials
In the upper righthand corner, select the organization
Navigate through the web interface, and click on one of your motes
After a few seconds, you will see the sensor information tab filling up as data rolls in
