3. Use of the Device Simulator

Select your HTTP device in Assets. The device detail page will be shown. The data generator is displayed in the header of your device detail page. Select Edit and the sidebar of the data generator will appear.

You can choose to have data generated automatically or manually specify the sensor values. Send it in intervals or manually. The following values are currently available for simulation:
