The latency depends primarily on the connectivity from the Cloud Connector to the DT Cloud. Still, the sensor battery life, a cold environment, or a weak sensor signal strength can also affect latency.
In general, you should expect the following sensor-to-cloud latencies:
- 300–1000 ms using a cellular connection
- 20–300 ms when connecting through Ethernet
Data Connectors and the Streaming API provide the lowest end-to-end latency from the sensor to your own application.
Please note!
These numbers are typical and they will vary greatly depending on the quality of the cellular or Ethernet connection.
