Edge Device Communication

WebSocket
Phase 2

Direct browser-to-device communication via WebSocket

WebSocket Architecture

This implementation uses WebSocket for real-time communication with the Rust edge device. No Node.js server required - the dashboard runs entirely in your browser!

Features

  • ✓Direct browser connection
  • ✓Real-time bidirectional streaming
  • ✓Type-safe Zod protocol validation
  • ✓Auto-reconnect with backoff

Connection Details

  • •Protocol: WebSocket over HTTP
  • •Default endpoint: ws://localhost:3001/ws
  • •Message format: JSON with Zod validation
  • •Simpler deployment: Single Rust binary

Connection Status

State:
disconnected
URL: ws://localhost:3001/ws

Development Mode

To test the WebSocket connection, you'll need to run the Rust edge server on localhost:3001.

Quick Start:

  1. Build the Rust server: cargo build --release
  2. Start the server: cargo run
  3. Click "Connect" in the Connection Status card above
  4. Start streaming metrics to see real-time data
