AVNET's iotconnect.io cloud platform is an online service that you can use to send data to, and then show it on a dashboard*. In this blog series I'm learning how to talk to it with Node-RED. In this post: create an evaluation account.

Sign Up with the IotConnect App
You can sign up to the iotconnect service with an app. It is available on the Android and Apple store.
Open it, and select Sign Up.
Your email is the handle to your account. It will be available for evaluation purposes for 30 days.
My approach for evaluation is to create an additional account at google (they allow that) and use that while evaluating.
You get two mails. One with a temporary password, one with a link to complete the access request.

Complete Access Request and Log On
The second and final step is to confirm your account and set your password.
Click the View Solution button or the hyperlink you received in the mail on the right: https://portal.iotconnect.io/
This will redirect you to a logon form.
Enter the email account you used in the IotConnect app.
The password is the temporary one from the left email above.
Confirm.
The next page allows you to set up a real password. Enter it twice and confirm.
Once done, log in with the mail and real password. You now have access to the portal.
In the next post, I'll register the device I'll use for Node-RED integration.
