EXPOSE

The Expose feature enables the user to use SYNA as a gateway and expose selected data to an external cloud provider.

How-to expose data from the COLIGO App​

Expose data to cloud

1. Add a New Provider​

  1. From the main dashboard, click EXPOSE.
  2. Select ADD PROVIDER.
  3. Choose your provider (currently only Azure available).

2. Configure Provider Settings​

Azure IoT Hub​

  1. Follow these instructions to create an IoT Hub on Azure.

  2. Create an underlying device:

    • Define the device ID
    • Leave IoT Edge Device unchecked
    • Choose Symmetric key with autogeneration of keys
    • Enable the device

  3. Copy the primary connection string and head to the COLIGO App

  4. Paste the Connection String for your device.

  5. Set batching options:

    • Maximum Items per Batch: Number of samples per upload.
    • Upload Interval: Time between uploads.

  6. Click SAVE.

3. Select Variables​

  1. Use the search to find the variables.
  2. Select the variables you want to publish to the cloud.
  3. Confirm your selection.

4. Finalizing the Setup​

✅ Your provider is now active, and selected variables will be sent to your cloud endpoint at the configured interval/batch size.

5. Updating Settings​

You can update the batching settings and selected variables at any time by clicking on the Azure tile. Changes will apply automatically and affect future data uploads.

6. Troubleshooting​

  • Provider creation failed:

    • Check that the connection string is valid and belongs to an active device.

  • No data arriving in cloud:

    • Confirm the provider exists in the app.
    • Verify network connectivity from the SYNA device to the cloud endpoint (Internet connection and firewall settings).
    • Reduce batch size/interval to test more frequent uploads.

  • Authentication issues (Azure):

    • Regenerate device keys and update the connection string in the app.
    • Ensure the Device is Enabled in IoT Hub.
