Adding a device using device product gallery

Zoho IoT's Device Product Gallery offers a comprehensive list of officially verified and supportable devices across various vendors and use cases, which can be directly onboarded into the application. Simply import these products, assign them to a model or create a model based on them, and create a device instance.

If you don't find the product you're looking for, you can add it by defining your own custom product.

AlertAll Device operations require necessary permissions. Refer User Profiles document for more details.

To add a device using the device gallery(devices),

  2. Select Devices > Devices in the left pane.



  3. Click on Add Device.

    If you have added your own device product, select My Products to view the list of added devices.

  7. In the device addition form, determine the model you wish to use:

  • Toggle to Create new model if you wish to associate a new device model with the product. Entering the model name will create a new model with the given name.

 
  • Toggle to Use Existing Model if you have previously added a model(s) and select the required Model.
