Azure IoT Central

With the new addition of a device template library into our Device Templates page, we are making it easier than ever to onboard and model your devices.

In this post, I will share new features now available in Azure IoT Central: embedded Microsoft Flow, updates to the Azure IoT Central connector, Azure Monitor action groups, multiple dashboards, and localization support.

Since announcing the release of our Jobs feature during the IoT Central General Availability launch, we are excited to share how we are working to improve your device management workflow through…

Organizations deploying IoT solutions often ask similar questions as they address security—What is the risk my organization takes on as we adopt IoT? How much security do we need for our scenario? Where should we invest for the biggest impact?

On the Azure IoT Central team, we are constantly talking with our customers to understand how we can continue to provide more value.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has expanded the world of computing far beyond mobile and PC, bringing a new and ever-growing class of cloud-connected devices that is on track to reach 20 billion devices by 2020.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming mainstream. Companies are seeing market-making benefits from IoT and deploying at scale – from transforming operations and logistics, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance at the edge to new consumer experiences powered by connected devices.

Many of the conveniences we enjoy today are dependent on the infrastructure cities and municipalities provide, such as water mains, streetlights, and roads. This infrastructure and its associated technology support our transportation systems, schools, hospitals, and more.

This week, at The Things Conference in Amsterdam, Microsoft and The Things Network Foundation collaborate with 2,000 LoRaWAN developers, innovators, and integrators on connecting devices to Azure IoT Central using the open source project Azure IoT Central Device Bridge.

Today I want to show how simple it is to connect a temperature/humidity sensor to Azure IoT Central using a Raspberry Pi and Node-RED.

We are happy to share that you can now export data to Azure Event Hubs and Azure Service Bus in near real-time from your Azure IoT Central app!

The device bridge connects other IoT clouds with IoT Central by forwarding the data your devices send to the other clouds through to your IoT Central app.
