End Devices

End devices can be connected to IEF through edge nodes by using the MQTT. After end devices are connected to IEF, you can manage them on IEF in a unified manner.

Registering an End Device

  1. Log in to the IEF console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Managed Resources > End Devices. Then, click Register End Device in the upper right corner.
  3. Set device parameters.

    • Name: name of an end device.
    • ID: You can customize a device ID or enable IEF to automatically generate an ID. If you want to customize a device ID, select Custom device ID and enter one.
    • Access Protocol: IEF supports MQTT.
    • Description: description of the end device.
    • Device Configuration: Select an existing device template to add properties for the device automatically. The template defines device properties, twin properties, and device tags. You can also manually add device properties and tags without using a template. The meanings of the properties and tags manually added are the same as those defined in the template. For details, see Device Templates.

  4. Click Register.

Follow-up Procedure

You can bind end devices to edge nodes. For details, see Binding an End Device to an Edge Node.
