Device Code Example

This sample python code can be used freely in any device to bidirectionally communicate with the Csip.io platform.

Background

The following example shows how you can connect a device to the platform using
provisioning mechanism or directly using device credentials.

Step by Step Instructions

In order to use the provisioning mechanism, you need to do the following:

1. Create an App

2. Create an API Client

Create an API Client with App context, and device:read scope to access to the provisioning app

3. Create a custom identifier for your device

4. Link your device to your App

Final step is to link your device to the app that will be used for provisioning purpose.

Access Credentials

In order to use the code, you need to set the following environment variables with your accounts values:

Host

BROKER_HOST

BROKER_PORT

❗️ SECURITY WARNING

Always use port 8883 in production.

Option 1: Access using device credentials

CSIPIO_DEVICE_ID

CSIPIO_DEVICE_KEY_ID

CSIPIO_DEVICE_KEY_SECRET

You can easily access this information on Csipio Portal.

Device Cheatsheet Page

Option 2: Access using provisioning mechanism
