Hello.

Please look at this forum post:

> Whats the most convenient cheap way to get sensor data to Ignition ? Thinking about getting machine running data from production machines that are not yet upgraded to be connected to Ignition. Sorry if this has been asked before.

The short answer is use MQTT to send your sensor data. It can be setup on an Arduino and actually works really well.
