Devices

/IOTCONNECT™ supports many kinds of devices — from simple sensors to edge computers, gateways, and long-range wireless nodes. Pick the device type that matches your hardware to see how to onboard and manage it. Each card below links to its full guide.

Device Types

📱Smart DeviceA standalone connected device that sends telemetry and receives commands directly from the cloud.	🛰️Gateway DeviceA hub that connects multiple child devices to the platform and relays their data.	⚡Edge DeviceProcesses rules locally on the device for real-time responses without waiting on the cloud.
🖧️Edge Gateway DeviceCombines edge processing with gateway capabilities — local rules plus child-device management.	🧩Greengrass DeviceAWS IoT Greengrass devices that run components and manage packages at the edge.	📡LoRaWAN DeviceLow-power, long-range wireless devices connected through a LoRaWAN network.
🔗Sidewalk DeviceAmazon Sidewalk devices that use shared low-bandwidth connectivity for wide coverage.

Managing Devices

📥Device ImportCreate many devices at once by uploading a JSON file — ideal for bulk onboarding.

🔐Unassociated Devices & JITPAuto-provision devices on first connect with JITP rules, and manage ones awaiting a template.

🧪Cloud Template DeviceConnect and test without a template — the platform learns your data, then converts it.

ⓘ NOTE

Not sure which device type to pick? Start with Smart Device for a single connected device, choose Gateway or Edge Gateway if it manages child devices, pick Edge for local rule processing, or Greengrass / LoRaWAN / Sidewalk for those specific technologies.
