Quickstart

1. Install the gCloud CLI as described in the Cloud IoT Core documentation.

2. Create a PubSub topic:

   gcloud beta pubsub topics create projects/my-iot-project/topics/device-events

3. Add the service account cloud-iot@system.gserviceaccount.com with the role Publisher to that PubSub topic from the Cloud Developer Console or by using the helper script in the /scripts folder.

4. Create a registry:

   gcloud beta iot registries create my-registry
   --project=my-iot-project
   --region=us-central1
   --event-pubsub-topic=projects/my-iot-project/topics/device-events

5. Use the generate_keys.sh script to generate your signing keys:

   ./generate_keys.sh

6. Register a device:

   gcloud beta iot devices create my-python-device
   --project=my-iot-project
   --region=us-central1
   --registry=my-registry
   --public-key path=rsa_cert.pem,type=rs256

7. Connect a sample device using the sample app in the mqtt_example folder.

8. Learn how to manage devices programmatically with the sample app in the manager folder.
