Create a Simulated Device in IoT Device Simulator

Use a simulation model to create simulated devices. When you create a simulated device, the device automatically registers and activates itself in Oracle IoT Cloud Service.

If you are creating an indirectly-connected simulated device, then you must create the gateway first. See Create a Simulated Gateway Device for more information.

1. On the Simulations page, click a simulation model name.
2. Click Add to add a new simulated device for the simulation model.
3. Select Register New Device.
4. (Optional) If you are creating an indirectly-connected device, select Connected via Gateway and choose the Gateway.
5. (Optional) In the Customize Device section, enter values for the following fields:

   • Name: Specify a name for the simulated device.

   • Description: Specify a description for the simulated device.

   • Manufacturer: Enter a manufacturer name for the simulated device.

   • Model Number: Enter a model number for the simulated device.

   • Serial Number: Enter a serial number for the simulated device.

   If you choose not to specify these values, then the device is created with default values.
6. (Optional) In the Device GPS Coordinates section, add the following GPS location related information:

   • Latitude

   • Longitude

   • Altitude

7. Click Create Device.

The device is registered and activated in Oracle IoT Cloud Service.

The device page appears in the IoT digital twin simulator. You can control the simulated device from this page.
