When you use IoT Platform, you must first create a product, create a device that belongs to the product, and obtain the device certificate. The certificate information includes the ProductKey, DeviceName, and DeviceSecret.
Background information
- A product indicates a collection of devices that have the same features. You can manage devices in batches based on products. For more information, see Define TSL models and Customize a topic category.
- Each actual device must correspond to an IoT Platform device. You must burn a device certificate (ProductKey, DeviceName, and DeviceSecret) that is issued by IoT Platform to a device. Then, use the certificate to authenticate the device when you connect the device to IoT Platform. For more information, see Obtain device certificates.
