Communication Patterns

Mir IoT Hub implements three distinct communication patterns, each optimized for specific use cases. Understanding these patterns is crucial for building efficient and reliable IoT solutions.

The Three Paths

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                        Device Communication                     │
├─────────────────┬─────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┤
│   🔥 Telemetry  │  🔄 Commands    │  ⚙️ Configuration           │
├─────────────────┼─────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
│ Fire & Forget   │ Request/Reply   │ Desired/Reported State      │
│ High Volume     │ Synchronous     │ Persistent                  │
│ One-way         │ Two-way         │ Eventually Consistent       │
└─────────────────┴─────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┘

Choosing the Right Path

Aspect	Telemetry	Commands	Config
Direction	Device → Cloud	Cloud ↔ Device	Cloud ↔ Device
Acknowledgment	None	Required	Eventually
Persistence	Time-series DB	Event log	Digital Twin
Use When	Streaming data	Immediate action	Persistent state
Offline Behavior	Buffer locally	Fails immediately	Applies when online
Examples	Sensor data	Turn on light	Update threshold

Remember: Choose the right path for each use case, and your IoT solution will be efficient, reliable, and scalable! 🚀
