The code generates random traffic for an IoT simulator.
We currently simulate the following sensor_types:
- temp (in deg centigrade) every 1s
- device (ON, OFF) every few seconds
- motion camera (100, 1000 kbps) depending on detection
- GPS (lat, lon) every few seconds depending on vehicular speed
Example:
python sensor.py <sensor_type> <ip> <port> <id>
python sensor.py camera localhost 5000 1
It also creates a log file (CSV) with filename dev_id.log.
dev_id is a combination of <sensor_type>_<id>
timestamp seq_no data_value
Camera is a special case in which the log file just stores
the length of the data field because the simulated
data from the camera can be very large. Instead the data
is stored in a camera.data file
