Introduction to the Bosch IoT Suite Console

This video shows you the main features of the Bosch IoT Suite Console - the web UI of Bosch IoT Suite through a Bosch IoT Device Management subscription. See how the console helps you to get started with information about your subscription and organization, an interactive product overview, and access to the entire user and API documentation. Moreover, it supports you with a customizable menu, a namespace and provisioning assistant, device and device sets management, and navigation with single sign-on to all services and systems. Bosch IoT Suite Console allows you to manage your devices in bulk - through tasks or automated rules, and to monitor all device executions.

This tutorial will help you get started with Bosch IoT Device Management without having special hardware or deeper technical knowledge.

It is based on our simulated smart device - called Virtual Demo Device - which you can open in a browser or on your cell phone. To follow the steps here you need to first fulfill the steps illustrated in part 1 – Provisioning, telemetry and remote control.

Here, in the second part of our Virtual Demo Device series, we will show you how to prepare and trigger a software update on this device. NB: When you replicate the steps of this tutorial, please make sure to create the right Software Module type and Distribution type, as this device would only accept a type whose key is DemoUpdate.
