Creating a Device for Raspberry Pi in Zoho IOT application

With the physical setup of connecting the DHT22 sensor complete, we can now create a device in the Zoho IOT application to represent this raspberry pi. This device created I the application will have the necessary credentials to establish a connection between the real world raspberry pi and the Zoho IOT application.

If you are using the Raspberry Pi's Graphical User Interface, its is recommended you use the browser of your Raspberry Pi to access the Zoho IOT application for this setup.
To create/register a device,
  1. Access the End Application.
  2. Select Devices > Devices in the left pane.
  3. Click Add Device.
  4. Select Add Using Product Gallery (Devices) and click Proceed.
  5. Click the search icon and type "Raspberry Pi" and hit return/Enter.
