Bulk connectables provisioning

When producing a physical device, there are a few separate operations that should be carried out to create the digital equivalent in Connhex. The entire set of these actions is called provisioning.

Device provisioning is often performed as a bulk operation: for example, you might want to integrate the digital counterpart creation as part of your production process, or after they have passed a pre-defined test bench.

Manufacturing schema

Independent of the method you choose, remember to follow your manufacturing schema of choice!

Using the API​

After obtaining a token for an account with admin privileges, perform these two API calls in sequence:

  • Use the Core Provision API: please note this won't create a manufacturing entry
  • Use the Manufacturing API to create entries in Connhex Manufacturing, using the previously returned thing_id as connhexId

Using the Connhex CLI​

  • Log into Connhex with your credentials. The account must have admin privileges.
  • Use the CLI to provision devices from a CSV file: connhex-cli provision <your-csv-file>
