In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect the Yanzi Lifecycle cloud (YLC) to akenza. To connect the YLC to akenza, we will use an HTTP WebSocket as a device connector on the Data Flow on akenza.
1. Setup your Yanzi Lifecycle cloud
As a first step, you need to set up your YLC account and integrate your Yanzi Gateway and its connected devices. 
1.1 Setup your account
In order to set up your YLC account, follow the onboarding steps here.
​Yanzi Lifecycle is the tool for managing your Yanzi infrastructure and sensors throughout the entire lifecycle - from planning to installation, changes, and monitoring of existing systems as well as redeployments.
1.2 Integrate your Gateway
Once your account is created, proceed with the connection of your gateway by selecting + Gateway.
Project overview on YLC
Proceed with all required steps, to successfully connect your Yanzi Gateway to the YLC. 
Detailed step explanations can be found here.
