IoT Simulator

The Bevywise IoT Simulator is a software solution designed by Bevywise Networks for developing, testing, and demonstrating IoT servers and managers. According to the vendor, this tool caters to businesses of all sizes, including small to large companies, and is commonly used by IoT developers, software testers, solution architects, the manufacturing industry, and the education sector.

Key Features

Faster IoT Simulation: According to the vendor, users can create templates for physical devices or device types to accelerate testing and develop applications without the need for real devices. They claim that the simulator can simulate thousands of unique virtual devices with unique topics and messages in minutes.

Configure IoT Simulator: The vendor states that users can easily configure the IoT simulator to send real-time messages within a specified range or from a random set of values. They claim that it supports dynamic messages in flat TEXT or complex JSON formats, along with four types of dynamic values to vary the data published in every sequence.

Configure Device Response: According to the vendor, users can create real scenarios with automatic responses using the Behavior simulation feature. They claim that the automatic response engine is based on received messages and topics, allowing virtual connected devices to start publishing data to the endpoint upon simulation request.

Reliable MQTT Support: The vendor states that the IoT simulator supports all MQTT essentials, including QoS levels, WILL and Retain messages, and MQTT Authentication. They claim that it works seamlessly with standard brokers and IoT platforms such as Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT Core, Bevywise IoT platform, and other MQTT applications or brokers.

Delicate User Interface: According to the vendor, the IoT simulator offers a simple and graphical user interface (GUI) for easy template and network creation. They claim that it allows for bulk addition of devices, easy message and behavior configuration, and provides an easy view of published events and received commands for testing.

Integrate IoT Simulator: The vendor claims that users can control simulation by integrating with a test automation suite using extensive Rest APIs. They state that it allows users to start and stop simulated MQTT clients, control simulated data and subscriptions in real-time, and query and update simulation data in the database using the device simulator API at runtime.

Python MQTT Simulation: According to the vendor, the Bevywise IoT Simulator provides extendability by allowing developers to implement custom algorithms using Python. They claim that application developers can override simulation request response configurations and build custom conditions to send different messages from different clients.

Device Management: The vendor states that simulated devices support both publishing and receiving of messages. They claim that devices can be configured to publish/respond to any message based on incoming data, and message behavior can be enhanced using Python.

Supports Google Protobuf: According to the vendor, the IoT simulator enables the encoding of structured data using Google Protobuf for customized payload. They state that it facilitates data transfer between processes or servers with various architectural styles.

Flexibility in Timing of Messages: The vendor claims that the IoT simulator provides flexibility in timing messages, allowing users to specify the start, before disconnecting, specific time, whole day at specific intervals, and specific intervals of the day. They state that this feature caters to various messaging scenarios.
