# 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**](/data-sources/no-code-integrations/the-things-stack.md)**,** [**Loriot**](/data-sources/no-code-integrations/loriot.md)**) or cellular platforms (e.g.,** [**Onomondo**](/data-sources/no-code-integrations/onomondo.md)**)**, 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="/pages/wzytggOvL7luwcB2eWNv" %}
[MQTT](/data-sources/mqtt.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Create a Device with HTTP Support:

{% content-ref url="/pages/n9sFogqifSdoCoCuA49o" %}
[HTTP](/data-sources/http.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

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

{% content-ref url="/spaces/LXNwVpW4heD62GZhpd5I/pages/NQdJ7UikixBzzzpe4ntD" %}
[Broken mention](broken://spaces/LXNwVpW4heD62GZhpd5I/pages/NQdJ7UikixBzzzpe4ntD)
{% endcontent-ref %}
