# 1 Add a new device For getting started on DeviceBit platform, the first step is to add a new device. Log into the IOT platform (If you don’t have the account you need to sign up first). Sign up a DeviceBit Account?(www.lewei50.com) ??Pic.1 Sign Up ? As shown in Pic2, go to?***My Devices -> Devices -> Add A device***, fill in the information and then save.  ? Pic.2 Create a new device ? # 2 Add sensors & controllers The next step is to add a new sensor or controller connected to your device. ? ## 2.1 Add a new sensor ? As shown in Pic3, go to?***My Devices -> Sensors&Controllers ->Sensors,?***and then click on?***Add***?button to create a new sensor. ??  Pic.1 Add a new sensor ? ? ## 2.2 Add a new controller ? As shown in Pic4, go to?***My Devices -> Sensors&Controllers ->Controllers,?***and then click on?***Add***?button to create a new controller. ?  Pic.3 Add a new controller ? ? Pic.4 Create a new controller ? # 3 Data Upload Simulation This tutorial mainly introduces how to simulate data upload by using API testing tool. ? ? **Hardware** ? No hardware is required. Only simulate data upload by API testing tool ?provided by Devicebit platform. ? **Procedure：** ? ## 3.1??Add?My Device, Sensors: Humidity and Temperature (The steps are as follows.?Note: note down the ID, for it will be used in Api calling.) ? ## 3.2 Add A Device ? ??After login, go to?My Devices?->?Devices->Add a Device ??? ?First, click on Devices? -> Add A Device?, as the picture1 below. After entering the related ?information, click on Save. ?  Pic.2 Add A Device ?? ? ## 3.3 Add Humidity ? ? ? ? ???The next step is to add the humidity sensor. Go to**?*My Devices->?Sensors&Controllers->Sensor***, click on?***Add****.* ?  Pic.3 ?Sensors? ? ??? ? ? ? ???Then there will be the?***Add A Sensor***?page.? ?  ??Pic.4 ?Add Humidity ? ? ? ? ## 3.3 Add Temperature ? ? ? ? ??Add the?***Temperature***?sensor in the same way. Please see the following picture. ? ? ?Pic.5 ?Add Temperature ? After setting up, as picture 5 shows, note down the ***ID*** because it will be used in Api calling. ?  ?Pic.6 ?Sensor ID ## 3.4 Data Simulation Now, let's move on to simulate data upload by using Api testing tool. ? ?? At the home page (the website is?www.devicebit.com) click on?***Documentation***  ?Pic.7 ?Home Page ? ?and then go to?**API Directory-> Sensor?->Upload Sensor Data** ?  ??Pic.8 ?API Directory ? ? ?Website?http://www.devicebit.com/dev/apiList?version=1&sk=69 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?http://www.devicebit.com/dev/apitest/3 ?  Pic.9?On-line test ? ?Click on?***on-line test*** ? ?Pic.10 ?API Testing Tool ?Enter your?**Userkey** ?Enter?***Device ID***?at API URL ?http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/{device ID} [（01 for exampe）](http://www.lewei50.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/%E4%BD%A0%E7%9A%84%E7%BD%91%E5%85%B3%E5%8F%B7) ? After entering the device ID, the APIURL is: http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/01 ? ? ?Pic.11 ?Userkey & Device No. ? ?Change?***T1***?to?***Temperature***?for?***Name***; change?***1***?to?***32*** for?**Value***; ? ?Change?***01H1***?to ***Humidity*** for?***Name***; change?***96.2***? to?***75***?for ***Value***. ?  ?Pic.12 ?Post Data ? Click on?***Run***, and then the request detail will be displayed.?  ?Pic.13 ?Request Detail ? ? ? ? ???At last,?Go to?***My IOT?->?Sensors&Controllers->Sensor List***, you will see the following value. ? ?Pic.14 ?The Value ? ???Well Done! Your data upload is successfully simulated by using API testing tool! The following part will introduce how to set Notice Groups, and receive email alerts # 4 Alert The following part will introduce how to set Notice Groups, and receive email alerts. ## 4.1 Add A New Contact Click on Notice Groups -> Contacts -> New Contact  Enter the name, Email etc. of this contact and then click on Save.  Add more contacts in the same way.  ## 4.2 Add A New Group Go to Notice Groups -> Add Group  Enter the group name, tick the contacts, and save.
