Device

The Device API manages device registation with the Builder.

When devices are first booted, they will "register" with the builder using their device ID (ClaimID). The device then remains under the management of the Builder until it is "claimed" by a user for management using the "claim" API.

When claimed, the device is redirected to the device cloud when it next invokes the "register" API.


Get

The Get API will fetch a device record by its ID (ClaimID).

Claim

Claim a device for management by a device cloud.

Once a device has registered itself with the builder, a user can claim the device for management. Claiming requires providing the unique device Claim ID and the Cloud ID Token.

The claim ID would typically be printed on the device label during manufacturer. The cloud claim token can be found in the Builder tokens list for the relevant device cloud.

A claim request may specify the device as a test device where it will not be counted towards the subscription device count.

Register

Register a device when manufactured.

When devices are first booted during manufacturing test, the Ioto device agent will "register" with the builder using its device ID (ClaimID). If the device has been claimed by a user, the API will return a response containing the API address of the managing device cloud and an access token. If the device has not been claimed, the "registered" field will be set to true in the response (alone).

To register, supply the device claim ID and the product token ID. If the device is a test device only, set the "test" field to true so that the device will not count toward your Ioto agent subscription count. .
