This topic describes how to create a product, add a device to the product, and obtain certificate information about the device in the IoT Platform console. The certificate information includes the ProductKey, DeviceName, and DeviceSecret parameters. Certificate information about a device must be added to a device SDK-based project. If a device attempts to communicate with IoT Platform, IoT Platform uses the certificate information about the device to authenticate the device.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IoT Platform console.
  2. Create a product.
    1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Devices > Products.
    2. On the Overview page, find the instance and click the instance name to go to the Instance Details page.
      Notice Enterprise Edition instances are available only in the China (shanghai) and Japan (Tokyo) region. If your IoT Platform is not activated in the China (shanghai) or Japan (Tokyo) region, skip this step.
