As a builder, you use the Azure IoT Central UI to define your Microsoft Azure IoT Central application. This quickstart shows you how to:
- Create an Azure IoT Central application that contains a sample device template and simulated devices.
- View the features of the Refrigerated Vending Machine device template in your application.
- View the telemetry and analytics from your simulated Refrigerator devices.
In this quickstart, you view a simulated Refrigerator device from a device template. The simulated device:
- Sends telemetry, such as temperature and pressure, to your application.
- Reports device property values, such as a motion alert, to your application.
- Has device settings, such as fan speed, that you can set in the application.
When you create a simulated device from a device template in an Azure IoT Central application, the simulated device enables you to test your application before you connect a real device.
To complete this quickstart, you need to create an Azure IoT Central application from the Sample Contoso application template.
Navigate to the Azure IoT Central Application Manager page. Then enter the email address and password you use to access your Azure subscription:
To start creating a new Azure IoT Central application, choose New Application:
To create a new Azure IoT Central application:
- Choose the Free Trial Application payment plan.
- Choose a friendly application name, such as Contoso IoT. Azure IoT Central generates a unique URL prefix for you. You can change this URL prefix to something more memorable.
- Choose the Sample Contoso application template.
- Then choose Create.
In this quickstart, you created a pre-populated Azure IoT Central application that contains a Refrigerated Vending Machine device template and simulated devices. See Define a new device template in your application to learn more, as a builder, about how to define your own device templates.
