Setup

Overview

TilliT Edge will be shipped ready to be added to your facility. Contact support to ask any questions about your unique installation. If you do not require a physical device then take a look at creating a self managed docker instance.

When you receive your Edge device, make sure you take note of the Thing ID. You will need it setting up the device.
