I have setup an IoTHub to try out managing edge devices.
I followed these tutorials to setup IoTHub with a real Linux device:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/iot-edge/how-to-provision-single-device-linux-symmetric?view=iotedge-1.4&tabs=azure-portal%2Cubuntu
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/iot-edge/quickstart-linux?view=iotedge-1.4
The IoTHub is setup on the Free tier, public access networking, without 'Device Update for IoT Hub' or 'Defender for IoT' since not available on the Free tier.
I have setup a local ARM64 device, running Ambian Jammy (Ubuntu 22.04) and successfully connected it to the hub.
The status in the hub for this device is 'running' for both the $edgeAgent and $edgeHub.
On the device, iotedge system status says all services are running/ready. The iotedge check says all is ok. No errors.
However, when I check the Device Twin, the connectionState is Disconnected . Why?
Now I want to try to deploy the 'Simulated Temperature Sensor' as described in the Quickstart Linux tutorial, but no where I am able to add and IoT Edge module.
I have tried in
- 'Devices -> 'my device' -> 'Set modules'
- 'IoT Edge' -> 'IoT Edge Deployments' -> 'Add deployment' -> 'Modules'
- 'Configuration + Deployments' -> 'Add'
In all places the 'Add' or 'Add module' button does nothing. It does not give a choice to select an 'IoT Edge module' nor a 'Marketplace module'.
Why?
What am I doing wrong?
Is it because I do not have the 'Device Update for IoT Hub' enabled since I'm on a free tier? How I read the docs that's for updating the OS, not for modules. What's then the purpose of that Free tier if you cannot try out deploying modules?

Thank you for providing all the details. This behavior seems weird. May I know if you were able to click on the Add button under 'Devices -> 'my device' -> 'Set modules' or is it not clickable?
Can you inspect the IoT Edge logs and see if they report any additional details. Please refer the article Retrieve logs from IoT Edge deployments which provides details on how to retrieve the logs.
