IoT Sensor Data Kafka Producer

This Python script simulates the production of IoT sensor data events and sends them to a Kafka topic. It generates mock sensor data such as temperature, timestamp, and location, and produces this data to the iot_sensor_data topic.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11.X
• confluent_kafka Python library:

  pip install confluent-kafka
  

How to Use

1. Ensure you have the necessary SSL certificates at the specified locations on your machine

2. If you have your SSL certificates at different locations, update the paths in the script.

3. Run the script:

Mock IoT Data

The script produces mock IoT data with the following structure:

• id: A unique identifier for the event.
• timestamp: Current timestamp in ISO 8601 format.
• temperature: A randomly generated temperature value between 20°C and 30°C.
• location: A randomly chosen location from ["Living Room", "Bedroom", "Kitchen", "Garage"].

The message is produced with the event's id as the key and the entire event data as the value.
