Device to Cloud

Device to Cloud (D2C) covers everything a device sends up to /IOTCONNECT™ — telemetry readings, identity, and status. These pages explain the message formats and the identity exchange a device uses to connect and report data.

What is Device to Cloud?

Device to Cloud (D2C) is the direction of data flowing from your device up to the /IOTCONNECT™ platform. Every reading a sensor sends — temperature, status, GPS, and so on — travels as a D2C message. Before a device can send data, it first identifies itself and syncs with the platform. The pages below explain both the message formats and that identity exchange.

D2C Topics

📤D2C MessagesThe messages a device sends up to the cloud — telemetry, acknowledgements, and status.	📨Device Message 2.1The current message format for device data (recommended for new devices).	📄Device Message 1.0The earlier message format, for devices still running version 1.0.
🔑Device Identity MessagesThe identity and sync messages a device exchanges when it first connects.

ⓘ NOTE

D2C is data going up (device → cloud). The reverse direction — commands and updates sent down to the device — is covered under Cloud to Device.
