Azure IoT Central

This guide will help you setup the Azure IoT Central integration.

The key features of the Azure IoT Hub integration are:

Handling uplink messages: The Things Stack publishes uplink messages to an Azure IoT Central Application
Automatic device provisioning: end devices are automatically created into the Azure IoT Central Application, using the LoRaWAN device repository information in order to provision the end device template
Updating device state in Device Twin: update the device reported properties based on the decoded payloads, and schedule downlinks based on the device desired properties

Architecture

The Azure IoT Central integration does not require any additional physical resources in your Azure account. It connects to the Azure IoT Central Application using the underlying Azure IoT Device Provisioning Service, then submits traffic using the Azure IoT Hub in which the application has been provisioned.

Telemetry and Device Twin

The Things Stack publishes uplink messages to Azure IoT Central as device telemetry. The Things Stack updates the Device Twin reported properties of the device, and schedules downlinks when the Device Twin desired properties are changed.

Device Templates

Azure IoT Central allows users to model the telemetry and device properties using the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL) in order to manipulate the data and build powerful views and dashboards of your device fleet. These templates can be automatically be associated with the end devices in your Azure IoT Central Application.
