Adding a Product – Developer Workflow
A Product is a type of Device, and serves as a way of grouping Devices. See Products for a description of what a Product is.
To add a Product:
1. Use the IoT Platform REST API to create a Product, as described below in Adding a Product Using the REST API.
2. Define a Product Manifest, which defines the metadata that is assigned for each Device, (both a Real and Virtual Device) that belongs to the same Product. For example, all the properties of the same type of heat sensor model. See Defining a Product Manifest for more details. The IoT Platform Portal enables you to place the Product Manifest on the IoT Platform Server.
