1---2name: azure-iot3description: Azure IoT Skill4---5# Azure IoT Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure IoT. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L35-L39 | Debugging Azure IoT embedded device tutorials, including build/deploy failures, connection/auth issues, sample app errors, and how to collect logs and diagnose common device-side problems. |24| Best Practices | L40-L45 | Guidance on resilient device reconnection patterns for Azure IoT and how to model IoT Plug and Play devices using DTDL for interoperability and digital twins. |25| Decision Making | L46-L51 | Guidance on using IoT Plug and Play device models in solutions and deciding between Azure IoT C vs Embedded C SDKs based on device, performance, and integration needs. |26| Architecture & Design Patterns | L52-L57 | Reference architectures and patterns for industrial IoT on Azure, including dataspace-based designs, component choices, and end-to-end implementation guidance for industrial scenarios. |27| Security | L58-L62 | Guidance on securely using Azure IoT Explorer with IoT Hub, including authentication, permissions, connection strings, and best practices to protect devices and hub access. |28| Configuration | L63-L67 | Guidance on choosing the right Azure IoT device and service SDKs (languages, platforms, and capabilities) for building and integrating IoT solutions. |29| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L68-L79 | Patterns and code for integrating devices via MQTT and IoT Plug and Play, building device/service apps, formatting payloads, using DPS/IoT Hub, and connecting SAP ERP to Azure IoT. |3031### Troubleshooting32| Topic | URL |33|-------|-----|34| Troubleshoot Azure IoT embedded device tutorials | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/troubleshoot-embedded-device-tutorials |3536### Best Practices37| Topic | URL |38|-------|-----|39| Design resilient Azure IoT device reconnection strategies | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-manage-device-reconnections |40| Model IoT Plug and Play devices with DTDL | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-modeling-guide |4142### Decision Making43| Topic | URL |44|-------|-----|45| Use IoT Plug and Play models in solutions | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-model-discovery |46| Choose between Azure IoT C and Embedded C SDKs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-using-c-sdk-and-embedded-c-sdk |4748### Architecture & Design Patterns49| Topic | URL |50|-------|-----|51| Enable industrial dataspace architectures on Azure | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/howto-iot-industrial-dataspaces |52| Implement Azure industrial IoT reference architecture | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/tutorial-iot-industrial-solution-architecture |5354### Security55| Topic | URL |56|-------|-----|57| Use Azure IoT Explorer securely with IoT Hub | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/howto-use-iot-explorer |5859### Configuration60| Topic | URL |61|-------|-----|62| Select Azure IoT device and service SDKs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/iot-sdks |6364### Integrations & Coding Patterns65| Topic | URL |66|-------|-----|67| Apply IoT Plug and Play MQTT messaging conventions | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-convention |68| Implement IoT Plug and Play devices with Azure SDKs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-developer-guide-device |69| Build IoT Plug and Play service applications | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-developer-guide-service |70| Work with IoT Plug and Play digital twins | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-digital-twin |71| Format IoT Plug and Play device message payloads | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concepts-message-payloads |72| Connect on-premises SAP ERP to Azure industrial IoT | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/howto-connect-on-premises-sap-to-azure |73| Use MQTT protocol with Azure IoT DPS | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/iot-mqtt-connect-to-iot-dps |74| Use MQTT protocol with Azure IoT Hub | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/iot-mqtt-connect-to-iot-hub |75| Create an Azure IoT device client using raw MQTT | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/tutorial-use-mqtt |
