## Smart Weighing with MQTT- IND400 in ACTION

The **Mettler Toledo IND400** is a **smart weighing indicator** designed for industrial applications. It supports modern protocols such as **MQTT, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP**, making it **IIoT-ready** for digital factories.

### 🔑 What you’ll learn

* How to log in and authenticate with the IND400 using the **REST API**
* Sending GET/POST requests to read and write data
* Understanding the difference between **REST (request/response)** and **WebSocket (real-time streaming)** communication
* Setting up a WebSocket connection to continuously receive live weighing data
* Demo: Visualizing the data in **Node-RED**

### ⚙️ Example REST API Request

```http
POST http://192.168.0.58/v1.0.0/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "username": "002",
  "password": "yourpassword"
}
```

**Response (with access token):**

```json
{
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "expiresIn": 3600
}
```

**Connection URL:**

```
ws://192.168.0.58/v1.0.0/measurements/00000000-0401-0500-0000-00C516882663?stable=true&threshold=5&unit=kg&Authorization=Bearer YOURTOKEN
```

Once connected, the IND400 continuously streams real-time weight values.

### 📊 Applications

* Real-time monitoring of weighing processes
* Continuous data logging into **databases or historians**
* Feeding streaming data into **dashboards, MES, or cloud platforms**
* Seamless integration with **IIoT and Industry 4.0** architectures
