Best way to download data for visualizations

Notehub.io
1

I am currently storing readins on Notehub.io. Every month, I want to download the data and generate visualizations on the data on my laptop. As I understand, creating a Route to some external URL like AWS will cost money. Is there an economical solution where I can download the data monthly and locally create the visualizations I need.

SBU,

Did you look here Routing Data to Cloud - Blues Developers what and how to route your data?

Warm regards,

Hey @sbu,

All Notehub routes and the Notehub API charge one consumption credit per event, so the pricing will stay consistent regardless of how you get data out of Notehub.

A couple of notes:

  • You can place filters on your routes, and/or use JSONata to make sure you route only the events you need for your visualizations.
  • All Notehub billing accounts are topped up to 5000 consumption credits each month, so if you need less than 5000 events/months you can access all of your data for free.
  • You can purchase consumption credits in bulk to bring the cost per consumption credits down to small fractions of a cent. See “Additional Consumption Credit Pricing” here: Bundles IOT Pricing Plans (Cellular & Data) | Blues Wireless

To be clear, the consumption credits are tied to an individual notecard? So, If say I have a fleet of notecards, each notecard will come with that credit limit?

Thanks,

The consumption credits are tied to your billing account, and I think they are used across all of your devices/notecards (at least that is what I observe in my project). There is no limit as to how many credits you can have but the 5000 are provided for free with each notecard purchase.

So if I add 5 devices and only use 1, I am pretty sure that 1 device in use will use the 25000 credits added from all 5 devices.

Wanted to confirm this :+1: (thanks @tsuzenski!)

At the end of the month, Notehub tops up your billing account to 5000 consumption credits. And just to be very clear—that’s 5000 credits per billing account, and not 5000 credits per device.
