# 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.
