Adding a simulated temperature sensor to our edge device

Now that we have created a Raspberry Pi Azure IoT Edge device, let's take it a step further and add a module via the Azure portal. We will use the Simulated Temperature Sensor module for our example.

Adding a module to our edge device

Adding a module to our edge device via the Azure portal is relatively simple. We will start out from the home page of the Azure portal and drill down to our IoT Edge resource, where we will add a module from the Marketplace.

To start, do the following:

1. From the Azure portal home page, click on the IoT Hub resource (AresHub) in the Recent resources list.
2. In the list on the left, scroll down to the Automatic Device Management section...
