Samples for the Azure IoT provisioning SDK for Python

This folder contains simple samples showing how to use the various features of the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub provisioning service from a device running Python.

List of samples

• Simple Sample: shows how to connect to IoT Hub and provision a device.
• Class Sample using AMQP: shows how to connect to IoT Hub with a ProvisioningManager class and provision a device.

How to run the samples

In order to run the device samples you will first need the following prerequisites:

• Setup your development environment

Note: On Windows, it is recommended to install the azure-iothub-provisioning-device-client module package using pip (see link above).

• Create an Azure IoT Hub instance
• Create a provisioned device identity for your device and retreive the device ID for this device

Once you have a device identity for your sample,

• Get the sample files:
  • if you have cloned the repository, Navigate to the folder provisioning_device_client/samples
  • if you are using the azure-iothub-provisioning-device-client module installed with pip, download the samples folder content to your target.
• Run the sample application using the following command to run the simple sample (replacing <id_scope> with provisioning scope):

  provisioning_device_client_sample.py -i < id_scope > -s < TPM|X509 > -p < mqtt|http|amqp >
  

You can get details on the options for the sample command line typing: python provisioning_device_client_sample.py -h python provisioning_device_client_sample_class.py -h
