I want to display the sensor data in kibana visualisation. The data is in JSON format and visible in kibana discover page. How can I show the json readings in kibana? Any one implemented any basic sensor example ( temperature monitoring etc) using ES and Kibana? ---

Definitely a great use case. Each document would have a timestamp and a temperature reading, and then you would do a date histogram aggregation and a metric average on temp. My setup looks like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/0/101a9735f68762d5cd54ff6bee7b4bea21030e90.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/0/a05b8c1385ca851306ee1d2a2cc3d592aa422c1e.png) ---

If you are storing metrics you should also have a look at the relatively new [time-series visual builder](https://www.elastic.co/blog/master-time-with-kibanas-new-time-series-visual-builder). ---

Can we use the ElasticSearch for IoT for controlling sensors(on/off bulb) remotely? How can I send data bytes to sensors from server to sensors? ---

You can probably develop an applications that does that based on data in Elasticsearch, but it is not something that Elasticsearch does out of the box. ---

Yep, what Christian said. You'll have to add the glue outside of elasticsearch. I wrote a small application to poll my sensors every 5 second, but using logstash is also an option. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http\_poller.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html) would probably work just as well. ---
