Create an IoT hub

[!INCLUDE iot-hub-create-hub]

Now that you have created an IoT hub, locate the important information that you use to connect devices and applications to your IoT hub.

In your IoT hub navigation menu, open Shared access policies. Select the iothubowner policy, and then copy the Connection string---primary key of your IoT hub. For more information, see Control access to IoT Hub.

Note

You do not need the iothubowner connection string for this set-up tutorial. However, you may need it for some of the tutorials or different IoT scenarios after you complete this set-up.

Register your device in the IoT hub

1. In your IoT hub navigation menu, open IoT devices, then click Add to register a device in your IoT hub.

   

2. Enter a Device ID for the new device. Device IDs are case sensitive.

5. Copy the Connection string---primary key to use later.
