On the basis of your level of experience, you are capable to create your own applications, dashboards, attach/register your IOT devices, create IOT applications, etc.
Plese note that you can also register an IOT Device to the system.
The registration of an IOT Device is performed by starting from Main Menu à My IOT Devices and selecting “New Device”.
that is 
Once you have registered a new IOT device, the new IOT Device provides some data to Snap4City (private or public).
With the aim of creating a Dashboard, the IOT device sensors, on the Wizard, you have to search for the device by name or in the list of Sensor (High Level Type) in the Dashboard Wizard.
The IOT devices, are listed as Sensors data in input, and thus they are listed with Nature as “From IOT Device to KB”. Thus, describing that they are also collected and related from Knowledge base city entities. And, with SubNature “IOTSensor”.
The IOT devices, when they are Actuators, are treated as actuators in output from Dashboard and input for the IOT Broker, so that they have High Level Type as “Sensor-Actuator”. And thus, they are listed with Nature as “From Dashboard to IOT Device”. They are not only Actuator since the Dashboard sends a Message to the IOT broker, and this value can be read again as a sensor for another Dashboard as well. Allowing the real time communication among Dashboards!!!
We suggest you to follow these examples in the order:
- Snap4City IOT Devices Registration
- Registering an IOT Device, which is an IOT Edge and using
- TC2.11. Search on IOT Directory for Devices and Sensors, IOT Device Registration
- TC1.11. IOT Discovery, on Dashboard Wizard
- TC1.14. Dashboards uniform model for: simple dashboard, those with IOT broker connection and those with logic in IOT Application
- TC2.19. Creating Dashboards with IOT broker connection back and forward
- Creating: IOT Device, Raspberry Pi based totally compliant with Snap4City
During the IOT device registration, the user has to provide some information, while other information has to be provided by the user at the system. Typically, each IOT device is identified by a name, and has a couple of keys (K1, K2) that allow authenticating to the IOT broker (the IOT data collector). Snap4City is helping the user in making these connections without programming or addressing technical aspects.
The connection is very easy for IOT devices such as SigFOX or others suggested by Snap4City.
The connections from IOT Device to Dashboard are end-2-end encrypted and secure connections with HTTPS/TLS, so that sensors may communicate personal data (this is true for Snap4City Devices).
The storage of personal data is also GDPRCompliant. See TC 11.* on https://www.snap4city.org/drupal/node/108 for details.
The new IOT Devices are created as private devices, while the user may decide to make them public, or to allow other users to access at the single data of the IOT Device.
On the other hand, some user may be interested in producing their own IOT devices.
Snap4City is supporting the creation of devices, and then their registration. For example, those produced by using HW platforms such as: Raspberry PI, Arduino, Android, etc.
