I have sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi and using Node-Red on the Pi, I have them connected to IBM Watson-IOT. I created a board with 2 cards showing nice gauges. I want to 'share' this with a 'public' url - does anyone know how to easily do this?
There is not currently a way to share the boards and cards you create within the Watson IoT platform dashboard to a public url - those are only viewable by users who have access to view your IoT dashboard.
You could possibly create your own application to visualize the data and publish that externally, but there is not a way to open your dashboard configured cards for public viewing.
Currently that can't be done....but you can use freeboard for a similar effect
As answered above this is currently not possible but I can highly recommend using NodeRED and the new dash-boarding function for this...(comes also as a ready to use boilerplate in IBM Bluemix)

I've been following the Gather, visualize, analyze and detect anomalies in IoT data tutorial and, although I was able to go through it flawlessly, I'm stuck in the second step of the "Create a data connector to store the historical data" section. In my Watson IoT left menu, there is no entry called "Extensions", my last option is the "Configuration" one. As far as I know, I have re-checked all the steps twice and I have tried to configure different regions (I'm located in Spain) for both Watson IoT and cloudant services (all within the "Lite" program), but I can't, for the life of me, forward the data received in Watson IoT to Cloudant.
Is there anything that has changed in the Watson IoT platform since the tutorial was written? Do I need to activate anything in my account that allows me to see the "Extensions" option?
Thank you for your support and if you need more information about my setup, don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Aitor
As mentioned in the Solution tutorial,
Setting up a new connection is a four-step process:
Create a service binding that provides Watson IoT Platform with the necessary information to connect to the Cloudant service.
Create a connector instance for the service binding.
Configure one or more destinations on the connector.
Set up one or more forwarding rules for each destination.
You can refer to the IBM Watson IoT Platform - Historical Data Storage Extension APIs
swagger UI as mentioned in the tutorial.
You can also access the interactive API docs directly from the Watson IoT Platform service dashboard by selecting the menu bar help icon in the upper right corner of the window and then clicking API > historian connector > View APIs. To store the historical data to Cloudant, you will be passing the IBM Cloudant credentials to create a Watson IoT Platform service binding.

I want to train the Watson Conversation service without using the toolkit? I want the chatbot to be trained by code.
I want to develop a system from which the administrator of a web page can edit or create intents and entities, so that in this way I do not have to be the one to edit if something is wanted to change. IBM Watson Virtual Agent is something similar to what I want to create
You can create your own tooling or integration into conversation using the Workspace API.
https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/conversation/api/v1/#workspaces
I've created and trained a basic dialog and it's now ready to be used in my web site.
I can't found any docs to deploy and use the application.
Can anyone help me ?
You need to build a front end application that allows users to interact with the conversation service.
There are some generated SDK's for various programming languages that can help you in doing this.
I am doing an android application, I'd like to know how to connect sensor devices/applications to Bluemix IoTF using API keys, by saying that I just want to minimize the registration task from client side(sensor devices)as much as possible. I know how to register devices with deivce Id,token and authentication manually. but I just like to know that is there any other easy way around to do it. It would be great If I got some one shed light on this from scratch. Thanks in advance.
There is a rich set of REST based APIs available at:
https://docs.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/devices/api.html
and fully documented here:
https://docs.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/swagger/v0002.html#/
One can use excellent REST based testing tools such as Postman for REST testing.
The reason I mention the REST APIs is that they provide a way for scripting or automating the registration of devices. There is an API called "Add device" that, when called, will register a new device instance of a specific device type against your IoT Foundation instance.
I could imagine a new device that knows it is not registered executing a self registration request to define itself as a new device type. What I would next suggest is that you read the links above and see if they make sense. If they answer your question fully, great. If not, simply post a new question that is specifically targeted at a specific areas and we'll be watching this set of tags and respond back as quickly as we can.
I have design a website where user can upload images and videos. Is it possible the use google cloud storage with compute engine.
Yes, it is possible to use any of google cloud component with each other.
This must be done while creating your instance you need to select the other google component which you want to use with the instance.
In Console while creating new instance, more options you will see
ACCESS Security---Project access and then select which component you want to use with an instance and assign the permission level.
Same will be also possible with gcloud compute while creating instance
I hope this will be helpful.
