Your own IoT lab, live in ten minutes

CHERT IoT gives you a private ThingsBoard tenant: devices, live dashboards, rule chains and alarms that are yours alone. Nothing to install on a server, nothing to pay for.

The ten-minute path

  1. Create an account at chertiot.com and open the verification email.
  2. Sign in — the same sign-in opens your portal and your dashboard.
  3. Open My devices → your first device is already there. Copy its access token.
  4. Pick your board below, paste the token into the starter code, run it.
  5. Watch the readings arrive on My dashboard.

ESP32 (Arduino) ESP32 (MicroPython) Raspberry Pi Browser, no hardware

Before you flash anything

Every device page in the portal already contains the starter code with your token and the broker address filled in. Download it from there instead of copying from these pages.
