Quick Start

Please follow the steps below to prepare for leveraging the Thing-IF features.

1. Creating a Kii Application

   Create a Kii Cloud application on the developer portal. Your mobile app and program implemented on the thing will be run under this application.

   If you've already created a Kii Cloud application (for creating mobile apps, for example), you don't have to create a new one.

2. Add Kii Push Notification

   The method of push notification varies depending on the type of a component - mobile app or thing - that calls the API.

   • If a mobile app calls the API:

     Employ push notification with the supported push notification networks to receive updates such as action results on the mobile app.

     To learn how to deploy push notification, click here for Android apps with FCM, here for iOS apps with APNs, and here for other platforms with MQTT.

   • If a thing calls the API:

     Employ push notification with MQTT to receive updates such as commands from a mobile app on the thing.

     To learn how to deploy push notification, click here if you use MQTT over HTTPS and here if you use only MQTT.
