Configure the network credentials of a new Thing

1. Go to the Things tab and select a Thing, or create a new Thing by clicking on the + Create Thing button or the +Thing button in the top right corner.

2. If the Thing doesn’t have an associated device, go to the Associated Device section and click the Select Device button. Get help adding a device to Arduino Cloud if needed.

   

3. Go to the Network section and click the Configure button.

   

4. Enter your network credentials:

   • Wi-Fi: Enter your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password (encryption key).
   • If using ESP32 and ESP8266: Enter the secret key that was provided when adding the device.
   • If using Arduino SIM: Use these credentials.
   • If using Arduino with LoRa®: The credentials are added automatically.

5. Go to the Sketch tab in the top right and upload the sketch to load the credentials on the board.
