Soracom Beam MQTT entry point feature for copying messages to Soracom Harvest Data now available

We are pleased to release a new feature for the Soracom Beam MQTT entry point which allows messages sent to an MQTT broker to be copied and saved to Soracom Harvest Data at the same time.

Previously, MQTT messages sent from a device to Soracom Beam could only be forwarded to an MQTT broker, and could not be saved in Soracom Harvest Data. With this new feature, MQTT messages can also be saved to Soracom Harvest Data, enabling more efficient data visualization and analysis.

Usage

To enable this feature:

  • From the Soracom User Console: Edit your Soracom Beam MQTT entry point settings and enable the "Copy to Soracom Harvest Data" option.
  • Using the Soracom API or CLI: Use the Group:putConfigurationParameters API or the soracom groups put-config command to set the SoracomBeam namespace fork.SoracomHarvest option to true.

You will also need to enable Soracom Harvest Data for the corresponding group.

Messages will be saved to Soracom Harvest Data in JSON format, with attributes mqttTopic containing the topic name and mqttPayload containing the message content.

Notes

  • Before using this feature, verify the format and configuration of the data sent from your device.
  • Temporary system errors may cause message copying to fail, but this does not affect message delivery to the MQTT broker.

For more details, please refer to the Soracom Beam documentation.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

[Japan only] Pricing Calculator now supports Global coverage

The Soracom Pricing Calculator now supports creating estimates for Global coverage. Previously, estimates were limited to Japan coverage.

Estimates for Global coverage are displayed in USD. Tax handling depends on the service.

The calculator does not provide a feature to select a destination country or zone to automatically calculate usage charges. Use the estimate as a reference for Soracom services and IoT SIM offerings available in Japan.

For more details on the Pricing Calculator, please refer to the Create an Estimate (Japanese) documentation.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.

Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite added to Soracom Flux AI actions

Soracom Flux AI actions now let you select the Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite model.

Requests to AI models available in AI actions are managed with Flux credits. Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite consumes 4 credits per request. AI models that allow you to use your own license (API key) do not consume credits.

The credit consumption per request for Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is as follows:

Model Consumed credits
Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite 4 Credits

Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite supports video input. When video is specified as input to the AI model, additional credits for video usage are also consumed. For details on credit consumption, see Actions and consumed credits (Japanese).

For more information on Soracom Flux, please refer to the Soracom Flux documentation.

Added Collect Message Action to Soracom Flux

We have added a new action, Collect Message Action (Japanese), to Soracom Flux.

The Collect Message Action aggregates actions that have been branched within a Flux app or split using the Send event for each feature.

For example, after executing a RTSP Camera Image Action and an AI Action targeting multiple RTSP compatible cameras, you can then execute subsequent notifications collectively.

The Collect Message Action is available on the Standard Plan and Enterprise Plan.

For more information, see Collect Message Action (Japanese).

Preview feature added to Soracom Harvest Files

We added a preview feature to Soracom Harvest Files so you can check image and text files directly from the User Console without downloading them.

Select a file in the console to open a preview, which is helpful when you want to quickly confirm its contents before downloading.

Previewing a file counts as a Harvest Files read, so charges apply based on the amount of data displayed, just like when downloading.

For more details, please refer to Soracom Harvest Files.

Added Bounding Box Action to Soracom Flux

We have added a new action, Bounding Box Action (Japanese), to Soracom Flux.

The Bounding Box Action sets a border frame around the image at the specified URL. By setting this frame, you can explicitly indicate the target area within the image for subsequent actions that use it.

For example, you can use the Bounding Box Action to specify the target area on an image acquired via the RTSP Camera Image Action, and then instruct the AI Action to "detect objects within the red box," allowing you to perform AI analysis on a specific region within the image.

The Bounding Box Action is available on the Standard Plan and Enterprise Plan.
