NB-IoT 08b: Sending frames to Meshlium via HTTPs

This example shows how to use HTTPS requests to send Waspmote frames from Waspmote to Meshlium. Therefore, the Meshlium will be able to parse the sensor data and inset it into the database

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x NB-IoT / Cat-M module 2 x NB-IoT / Cat-M antenna 1 x SIM card

Notes

- The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v15

Code
