11. Where does the Sample IOX App read sensor data from?

By default the Sample IOX application reads data from a file. But it can be modified to read the sensor data from RPi+Sensehat module also easily.

The app  will read sensor values from a Raspberry Pi + Sensehat attached to your gateway and send that data to the cloud. The app also provides the ability to use rule sets that filter, throttle, and transform the data before it is sent to the cloud.

Note: The Raspberry Pi should have a SenseHat module running the SenseHat app.
