Devices
Introduction
Devices are producers and consumers of ClearBlade IoT Platform resources. Often, they are sensors that generate data, that is then processed by the ClearBlade Edge or Platform. In other cases, a device may be a hardware controller, which consumes commands and controls a motor or actuator.
