For version 3.36 we've introduced a brand new core data provider for OGC SensorThings API data sources.
The SensorThings API is an OGC specification for Internet of Things sensors which complements existing communication protocols within the IoT ecosystem.
This functionality was developed in line with QEP 257 and introduces new panels within the QGIS Browser, Data Source Manager, and Layer Properties Source tab for users to configure connections to SensorThings data sources.
We've taken care to ensure that SensorThings data sources are loaded in the most optimised way possible, providing an streamlined, user-friendly way to load SensorThings data into your QGIS projects. This is just the beginning though, and we've more functionality and improvements planned for access to SensorThings sources in QGIS 3.38!
