Devices are hardware wired into a Thread port via a digital connect cable and added to the application by the "+Device" icon, can be auto-populated when adding Connections within the application, or will also auto-populate when a file transfer, such as an API connection, has been established. Each Device will have one or more associated sensors within the application. These sensors are where the Device's collected data will be stored.

This section will focus mainly on devices added directly to a Thread, and provide information about how to add them to the application and configure them within the application so that calculated metrics are available..
