AUTOMATIC PROVISIONING OF IOT DEVICES

The disclosed technology is generally directed to loT communications. For example, such technology is usable in provisioning loT devices (341-343, 441, 541, 641) in an automatic manner with no manual steps. In one example of the technology, upon initial boot, identification information (421) is automatically sent to a provisioning service endpoint (311, 312, 411, 511, 611) stored in the loT device. The identification information includes an identification (ID) of the first loT device. Cryptographic information (426, 427) is received from the provisioning service. The cryptographic information is associated with an loT hub selected from a plurality of loT hubs (351-353, 451, 551, 552,651,652) based, in part, on the ID of the first IoT device. A message (428) is automatically sent to the IoT hub in response to receiving the cryptographic information. A new configuration file and a firmware update are received from the loT hub without requiring a user association. The new configuration file and the firmware update are automatically installed.
