Online lab for MT

[Johnmon]

Hi - is there a online lab for developers to access MT data either via Dashboard API or MQTT?

Thanks,

  John

Nope, just Cisco Icloud, but there is some limitations.

I would suggest just to get a sensor for your network. You don't need a license as each org has five free licenses.

Be warned - most (all?) sensors require an MV or MR to operate (they need a blue tooth gateway).

[Oren]

That’s correct. The MT sensors communicate via BLE to a “gateway”.

I have had my memory return.

I believe the MT14 and MT15 can use a MA-PWR-ETH (USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor) so you can use these without a BLE gateway.

This would be the best option if you want to play with a Meraki IoT sensor but don't have a Meraki MR or MV.

This MT15 uses USB-C or PoE for power but still communicates via BLE to an MV/MR.

@Johnmon  This wasn't designed specifically for the MT lab. But you will find an RO API key of our demo environment in the eLearning module Node-RED: Module 2 - Introducing the Meraki Dashboard Node(cisco.com login required). Please be aware that we rotate the key as necessary.
