Key concepts

To understand gateways, you should be familiar with these concepts:

...

  1. Decide how to authenticate the devices to ClearBlade IoT Core through the gateway.

  2. Create the gateway.

  3. Configure the gateway and get state.

  4. Optional: Create devices.

  5. Use the MQTT or HTTP bridge to relay messages and configuration data between the devices and ClearBlade IoT Core.

End-to-end demo

Try a demo that walks you through creating a gateway and device, binding the device to the gateway, listening for configuration messages, and sending state data on the device’s behalf.
