# Device Simulator

The **device simulator** allows you to send data to your **HTTP device** on akenza without the need of a physical device. 

The following steps are required to make use of the device simulator:

### 1. Create a Data Flow

* **Device Connector:** HTTP
* **Device Type:** Akenza Device Simulator
* **Output Connector:** Akenza DB

### 2. Create a device

Go to *Assets* and start with *Create device*. Proceed with the creation of an HTTP device. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Find out more about [here](#2.-create-a-device) how to create an HTTP device. 
{% endhint %}

### 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:

* Temperature
* Humidity
* CO2
* Noise level
* Illuminance
* Occupancy
