Prerequisites

Before you begin, the builder should complete the three builder tutorials to create the Azure IoT Central application:

• Define a new device type
• Configure rules and actions for your device
• Customize the operator's views

Receive a notification

Azure IoT Central sends notifications about devices as email messages. The builder added a rule to send a notification when the temperature in a connected air conditioner device exceeded a threshold. Check the emails sent to the account the builder chose to receive notifications.

Open the email message you received at the end of the Configure rules and actions for your device tutorial. In the email, choose Click here to open your device:

The Device page for the Connected Air Conditioner-1 simulated device you created in the previous tutorials opens in your browser:

Investigate an issue

As an operator, you can view information about the device on the Measurements, Settings, Properties, Rules, and Dashboard pages. The builder customized the Dashboard to display important information about a connected air conditioner device.

Choose the Dashboard view to see information about the device.

The chart on the dashboard shows a plot of the device temperature. You can also see the current target temperature for the device in the Set target temperature tile. You decide that the target temperature is too high.

Remediate an issue

To change the target temperature of the device, use the Settings page:

1. Choose Settings. Change Set Temperature to 75. Choose Update to send the new target temperature to the device. When the device acknowledges the settings change, the status of the setting value changes to synced:

   

2. Choose Dashboard and verify the new setting value:
