IoT Architecture Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Select device/sensor icons → Place edge gateways → Connect to cloud services → Group into zones → Wrap in `plantuml fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use `plantuml or `puml code fence. NEVER use `text — it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

  • Every diagram starts with @startuml and ends with @enduml
  • Use left to right direction for typical IoT data flows (Device → Edge → Cloud)
  • Use mxgraph.aws4.* stencil syntax for IoT service and device icons
  • Default colors are applied automatically — you do NOT need to specify fillColor or strokeColor
  • Use rectangle "Zone" { ... } or package "Site" { ... } for grouping
  • Directed flows use -->, async/event-driven flows use ..> (dashed)

Full stencil reference: See [stencils/README.md](../uml/stencils/README.md) for 9500+ available icons.

Mxgraph Stencil Syntax

mxgraph.aws4.<icon> "Label" as <alias>

Connection Types

Syntax Meaning Use Case
A --> B Solid arrow Sync API / data flow
A ..> B Dashed arrow Async telemetry / MQTT publish
A -- B Solid line Physical / bidirectional link
A --> B : "label" Labeled connection Describe protocol or data

Quick Example

@startuml
left to right direction
rectangle "Factory Floor" {
  mxgraph.aws4.sensor "Temp\nSensor" as s1
  mxgraph.aws4.iot_thing_plc "PLC" as plc
}
mxgraph.aws4.greengrass "Greengrass\nEdge" as gg
mxgraph.aws4.iot_core "IoT Core" as core
mxgraph.aws4.iot_analytics "IoT\nAnalytics" as analytics

s1 --> gg : MQTT
plc --> gg
gg --> core
core --> analytics
