imitate a single device that connects over TCP and sends telemetry once every second.
make sure the basic flow works from the emulator into Node-RED and to the rest of the workflow.
The emulator should:
- connect to a configurable host/port
- send JSON messages repeatedly
- include a device id, timestamp, and some random/sample value
- print what it sends so debugging is easier
Example message:
{
"device_id": "dev_001",
"timestamp": "2026-05-14T10:00:00Z",
"value": 42.5
}
