Creating or editing a gateway

After you create a gateway, you can't change it to a non-gateway device. Ensure you've created a registry and a device key pair before completing the steps below.

Console

Create a new gateway

1. Go to the Registries page. Click a registry ID.

2. On the Registry details page, click Gateways and Add gateway to create a new gateway.

3. Enter a gateway ID that describes the gateway and helps you identify it (this field can't be edited later).

4. For Gateway communication, select Allow or Block. The latter allows you to block communication when needed, such as when a gateway or one or more devices bound to it are not functioning properly. You’ll most likely want to allow communication when creating the gateway. When a gateway is blocked, all devices bound to it are blocked from communicating with ClearBlade IoT Core.

5. Select the public key format that matches this gateway’s key pair. Paste the certificate or key in the Public key value field. You can also set the key’s expiration date.

6. Select the authentication method to use for devices bound to the gateway.

7. Use the Key and Value fields to add optional gateway metadata, such as a serial number.

8. Click Submit to create the gateway or Update to save changes to an existing gateway.

Edit an existing gateway

1. Go to the Registries page.

2. Click the gateway’s registry ID.

3. Click Registry details.

4. Click Gateways.

5. Click the gateway’s ID you want to edit.

6. Click Edit at the top of the page.

To add a key to an existing gateway, click Add public key on the Device details page.

API

Use these methods to create or edit a gateway:

  • Device create method to add gateways to registries

  • Device patch method to edit existing gateways

See Creating or editing a device to learn how to create the devices you'll use with the gateway.

Configuring the gateway and getting state

With ClearBlade IoT Core, you can control a gateway by modifying its configuration, like any other device. See Configuring devices to learn how to configure a gateway over the MQTT or HTTP bridge.

After a configuration has been applied to a gateway, the gateway can report its state to ClearBlade IoT Core. You can compare the gateway's state and its most recent configuration to ensure it’s functioning properly.

Binding or unbinding a device

You can authenticate non-gateway devices to ClearBlade IoT Core by binding them to the gateway. Binding creates an association between the devices and the gateway that ClearBlade IoT Core checks to authenticate the devices.

Binding is required when using the HTTP bridge.

Console

1. Go to the Registries page.

2. Click the gateway’s registry ID.

3. Click Gateways, then click the gateway's ID.

4. On the Gateway details page, click Bound devices.

5. Click Bind device.

6. Select the devices you want to bind to the gateway, then click Bind.

7. To unbind a device, select the device in the Gateway details page, and click Unbind device and Unbind to confirm.

API

Use these methods to bind a device to or unbind a device from a gateway:

Deleting devices bound to a gateway

To delete a device bound to a gateway, you first unbind the device from all gateways it's bound to, then delete it from the registry.
