Below instructions help you connecting your Azure IoT Hub to KPN Things.
Don't have an Azure IoT Hub yet? Head on over to the Microsoft documentation on Azure IoT Hub. You can try one for free using the !
For now, a Basic tier will be sufficient for a working connection with KPN Things. Later, we will introduce downlink and device twin functionality to the connection and for that the Standard tier is required.
The following parameters are available to connect your Azure IoT Hub:

After creation of your policy, you can find the SAS key name and SAS key in the
KPN Things will register new devices in the IoT hub when IoT data is forwarded for devices that are not yet in the IoT Hub.
KPN Things will forward all IoT data as telemetry in the IoT Hub from devices linked to the destination.
In the future we plan to support downlink communication using Cloud-to-Device communication in the IoT Hub, and we plan to support device twin synchronization between KPN Things and the IoT Hub.
For the key name and key you need to create a for your IoT Hub. Make sure you enable all permissions for the Policy you create for KPN Things, since all permissions are required:
