Connect Sensortile to Microsoft Azure

Question

Hi guys, i would ask if someone has a tutorial that shows how to connect an IoT device using MQTT to Azure IoT. I have already created an IoT apllication on Microsotf Azure, i have Device Id but i don't understand what i have to put into the field "HostName" and "SAS".

I found this Mqtt string template to use "Hostname=;DeviceId=;SharedAccessKey=;"
Thanks for all who will help me.

Regards, Alex.

@Alex Carluccio Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

If you are connecting to IoTHub, HostName is your IoTHub name and SAS is Shared Access Signature which is generated by you.

There are two ways to obtain DeviceConnect permissions with IoT Hub with security tokens: use a symmetric device key from the identity registry, or use a shared access key.

Please go through Control access to IoT Hub using Shared Access Signatures and security tokens for more details.

A device can use the MQTT protocol to connect to an IoT hub using any of the following options.

• Libraries in the Azure IoT SDKs.
• The MQTT protocol directly.

I would suggest you take a look at the documentation Communicate with your IoT hub using the MQTT protocol

Regarding your query on Connect Sensortile to Microsoft Azure please provide more details if you are trying to connect this device to IoT Central?
