In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect the cloud application of Disruptive Technologies (DT) to akenza. To connect the DT cloud to akenza, we will use a **HTTPS endpoint** as a data connector on the DT cloud and **HTTP** as a device connector on the **Data Flow** on akenza.

### Create a Data Flow

Go to *Data Flow* in the left-side menu and select *Create Data Flow*. Select **Disruptive Technologies** as a device connector.

Proceed with selecting your desired DT Device Type and Output Connector to define the data destination accordingly. Find out more about Output Connectors [here](https://docs.akenza.io/get-started/connectors).

### Create a Data Connector on the DT cloud

Copy the newly created **Uplink URL** including the **Uplink Secret** of your device connector from your Data Flow on akenza as follows:

```
https://data-gateway.akenza.io/v3/capture?secret=<Uplink-Secret>
```

Go to *API integrations - Data Connectors* on your DT cloud account and create a new Data Connector. Insert the copied **Uplink URL** in the field of the **Endpoint URL** and save the Data Connector with an appropriate name.

The DT cloud data connector is now connected to the **Data Flow** on akenza.

### Create a DT device on akenza

Proceed with the creation of your DT device. Go to **Asset Inventory** on akenza and select *Create Device*. Give a name to your device and optionally a description, tags, and a custom field. Select your newly created Data Flow and proceed with the *Next* button.&#x20;

Insert the device ID accordingly and save the device. On the DT cloud in *Sensors & Cloud Connectors*, the device ID is displayed as *Sensor ID*.&#x20;

Your DT device will now be displayed on the **Asset Inventory Overview**.

Your device is now created and is receiving data. Incoming data can be viewed on the **Device Detail Page** on akenza by selecting your DT device on the **Asset Inventory Overview**.
