Step 1: Configure Cloud Project

Go through the following steps to create and configure a cloud project.

• Create a project: A cloud project is a collection of resources on the Tuya IoT Development Platform, including devices, APIs, and data. Resources distributed to different projects are isolated from each other.
• Subscribe to and authorize the required cloud services: You can choose the cloud services provided by Tuya based on the scenarios to speed up your development.
• Build the asset and user systems: The project owner has administrator permissions on the resources under the asset and user systems, including devices, users, API permissions, and data assets. This way, enterprises can easily manage and control project resources.

Prerequisites

You have registered an account on the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

Procedure

A cloud project is a collection of resources on the Tuya IoT Platform. Resources distributed to different projects are isolated from each other. To get started, you need to create a cloud project first.

1. Log in to the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

   

2. In the left-side navigation bar, choose Cloud > Development.

   

3. On the My Cloud Projects page, click Create Cloud Project.

4. On the Create Cloud Project dialog box, set the required parameters and click Create.

   • Project Name: the custom name of the project.

   • Description: the custom description of the project.

   • Industry: Select the industry type of your project, facilitating follow-up statistical analytics.

   • Development Method: In this example, select Custom from the drop-down list. For more information about the development method, see Development Method.

   • Data Center: Enter the server address of the region where you are located.

     

5. On the Authorize API Services page, besides the default selections, you need to subscribe to the API products such as Device Status Notification and Industry Project Client Service, and click Authorize.

   

6. Create the original asset and original account. Then, the account will be granted access to the asset.

   Note down the specified account and password. You will use them when you add a device using the IoT Device Management app or call the API operations to control the devices. You can also build your asset structure based on actual business scenarios. For more information, see Manage asset structure.
