To complete this article, you need the following:

Create an IoT hub and device in an IoT Project

The following steps show how you can create an IoT Hub and register a device to the hub within an IoT Project in Visual Studio Code.

Instead of provisioning an Azure IoT Hub and device from the Azure portal. You can do it in the VS Code without leaving the development environment. The steps in this section show how to do this.

  1. In the new opened project window, click F1 to open the command palette, type and select Azure IoT Device Workbench: Provision Azure Services.... Follow the step-by-step guide to finish provisioning your Azure IoT Hub and creating the IoT Hub device.

    Provision command

    [!NOTE] If you have not signed in Azure. Follow the pop-up notification for signing in.

  2. Select the subscription you want to use.

    Select sub

  3. Then select and existing resource group or create a new resource group.

    Select resource group

  4. In the resource group you specified, follow the prompts to select an existing IoT Hub or create a new Azure IoT Hub.

    Select IoT Hub steps

    Select IoT Hub

    Selected IoT Hub

  5. In the output window, you will see the Azure IoT Hub provisioned.

  6. Select or create a new IoT Hub Device in the Azure IoT Hub you provisioned.

    Select IoT Device steps

    Select IoT Device Provisioned

  7. Now you have Azure IoT Hub provisioned and device created in it. Also the device connection string will be saved in VS Code.

  9. Select pricing tier.

  10. Enter a globally unique name for your IoT Hub.

  11. Wait a few minutes until the IoT Hub is created.
