Create a device identity

In this section, you use a Node.js tool called IoT Hub Explorer to create a device identity for this tutorial.

  1. Run the following in your command-line environment:

    npm install -g iothub-explorer@latest

  2. Then, run the following command to login to your hub. Substitute {iot hub connection string} with the IoT Hub connection string you previously copied:

    iothub-explorer login "{iot hub connection string}"

  3. Finally, create a new device identity called myDeviceId with the command:

    iothub-explorer create myDeviceId --connection-string

Make a note of the device connection string from the result. This device connection string is used by the device app to connect to your IoT Hub as a device.

Refer to Getting started with IoT Hub to programmatically create device identities.
