# Device

Devices in Qubitro represent connected hardware that sends data to the platform. Each device is associated with a project and can be managed from the Devices tab. 

### Creating Devices

Device creation in Qubitro depends on the **data source**.

#### **Automatically Created Devices**

If you are using **integrations** such as **LoRaWAN LNS providers (e.g.,** [**The Things Stack**](https://docs.qubitro.com/data-sources/no-code-integrations/the-things-stack)**,** [**Loriot**](https://docs.qubitro.com/data-sources/no-code-integrations/loriot)**) or cellular platforms (e.g.,** [**Onomondo**](https://docs.qubitro.com/data-sources/no-code-integrations/onomondo)**)**, devices are **automatically created** when data is first received.

{% hint style="success" %}
For integrations, **there is no need to manually create devices**—Qubitro automatically syncs them based on incoming data.
{% endhint %}

#### **Manually Created Devices**

For MQTT and HTTP, devices can be manually created using either the Portal or APIs.

Create a Device with MQTT Support:

{% content-ref url="../data-sources/mqtt" %}
[mqtt](https://docs.qubitro.com/data-sources/mqtt)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Create a Device with HTTP Support:

{% content-ref url="../data-sources/http" %}
[http](https://docs.qubitro.com/data-sources/http)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Use the **API** to create a Device with MQTT or HTTP support:

{% content-ref url="broken-reference" %}
[Broken link](https://docs.qubitro.com/platform/broken-reference)
{% endcontent-ref %}
