Abstract
An example Internet of Things (IoT) sensor application hosted on a mobile device is configured to add the mobile device as a data sensor or source in the IT system. The IoT sensor application is configured to provide an interface between an input or output component of the mobile device and a data pipeline or application and/or to cloud data storage associated with an IoT system. The IoT sensor application is configured to connect to an edge device of the IoT system and search for a data source identifier associated with the type of data source component, and corresponding application(s) and/or data pipeline(s) to which the data source is connected. Once connected, the IoT sensor application provides captured data to or receives processed or playback data from the data source.
