Add your first device

Register a device and get the token it uses to talk to the platform.

  1. 1

    Pick or create a project

    Every device lives in a project — a self-contained workspace with its own dashboard, alerts, map and automations. Use the project switcher at the top of the sidebar to pick one, or create a new project first.

  2. 2

    Open the Add Device wizard

    Click Add Device in the sidebar and give your device a friendly name (e.g. “Living Room Sensor”). The 6-step wizard walks you through the rest.

  3. 3

    Choose a protocol

    Pick HTTP (simplest — POST JSON to a REST endpoint) or MQTT (lightweight pub/sub, ideal for many devices and real-time control). You can change this later; both are always available.

  4. 4

    Copy the device token

    When the device is created you get a device token (starts with dev_). Copy it now — it is shown only once. Your device sends this token to authenticate every message.

    Authorization: Bearer dev_XXXXXXXXXXXX
