Add Device ​

Register a device so it can connect securely and appear in your Dashboard.

Prerequisites ​

  • You have an account at app.iotbackend.cloud
  • You can build and flash firmware locally
  • You know which board/platform you are targeting

Steps ​

  1. Open Dashboard → Devices → New device.
  2. Create the device entry.
  3. Download the firmware template for that device.
  4. Unzip and open the template project locally.
  5. Put your app logic into the user code file provided by the template.
  6. Build firmware locally.
  7. Flash firmware to your board.
  8. Power on the device.
  9. Connect your phone/laptop to the device AP (for example DIY-IOT-<chip>).
  10. In the provisioning portal, select your Wi-Fi network and enter password.
  11. Wait until the device joins Wi-Fi and starts sending telemetry.
  12. Open the device page in Dashboard and verify the status.

If Wi-Fi credentials were already saved on the device, AP provisioning may not appear.

What to expect after the first boot ​

  • Device may show RECONNECTING briefly.
  • After telemetry heartbeat arrives, status should become ONLINE.
  • You should see runtime details and activity entries update.
