Quick Start

Quickstart is an open sandbox allowing developers to quickly and easily get devices connected to the Watson IoT platform with registration required.

Quickstart! No sign-up required to see how easy it is to connect your device to Watson IoT Platform and view live sensor data.

Quickstart Simulated Device! In addition to these, we have developed a simple browser-based simulated device, designed for mobile devices, that can be used to connect any device with a web browser to the service.

Virtual Device

Use the simulated device to experience the IBM Watson IoT Platform

IBM Watson IoT Platform Virtual Device

Project

Use IBM simulated device from Web Browser to experience the IBM Watson IoT Platform

From Web Browser:

1. http://quickstart.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/iotsensor

2. http://quickstart.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/

Physical Device

Use IBM IoT Quickstart code to send data from a physical device to the IBM Watson IoT Platform

From development board command line:

root@board:~# ifconfig # Check your MAC Address
...
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 7c:dd:90:6d:e0:e9
