Microsoft IoT Central Pricing
Companys starting to build out with IoT are always price conscious.
I think the 30 day trial is ok, but often I start a trial as Im interested to learn, but when the time comes to actually use it, its expired.
The jump from 30 day trial to $500/month is way to steep.
If I have a IoT project Idea, I need to spent weeks/months testing the idea before I know it might be a going concern.
I think there need to be a price tier for developers that say is restricted to <10 devices, and low use, and it…9 votesThank you for the feedback! We are actively reviewing our pricing structure and will have more details to share soon. Stay tuned!
Thanks

Provide public dashboards
A nice feature for IoT Central in my point of view would be the option to share telemetry and status dashboards with a public audience.
In my scenario I'd like to share e.g. the dashboard from the applications home page to an audience in my organization where I don't want to give each user individual access to my application.
This would also be a nice feature because it would enable me to embed the dashboards into individual built applications aside to IoT Central which use the data collected by IoT Central.
3 votesThank you for taking the time to submit feedback. The functionality you’ve requested is something that we’re currently considering. We’ll follow up once we have more updates.

Please provide advanced rules settings
Please provide more options for setting up rules e.g. on telemetry data.
In my case I wanted to set up a rule when a condition lasts over a certain timeframe. I haven't found a way to do this with IoT Centrals rules management.
Another pain point I noticed was when I set up a rule with a threshold that should send me an e-mail when the rule is triggered, my mail account was spammed with many mails for historical occurences of the trigger. So it would be helpful to have an option whether a rule should be triggered on historical…
3 votesWe are adding support for Aggregate functions and Time windowing in Rules that will enable monitoring telemetry over a certain timeframe before alerting.
I will update the thread once the feature is available to try out.
Thanks

Save measurements selection for future navigation
If I leave the "Measurements" view and return, I lost the selected fields and settings. It reverts to the first 4 elements in the payload always in average.
It is clear this view is fluid and dynamic, but nice if it was able to remember where I left it.

OTA firmware update
As an Admin,
I need to set up a blob to upload all my firmware and browse available versions (filter grid by date, description and version numbers)
I need to run some query to identify all the devices that are "out-of-version" using the Version property.I need to start a Job to command all the devices in the query to UpdateFirmware to a particular version:
The command has 3 parameters:
1) File Path
2) SAS readonly token (expires in 8 hours)
3) MD5 (or another cyclical signature)The firmware will be intelligent enough to understand the UpdateFirmware command and download…

Key vault with RBAC for some properties and selectable fields for webhook callback
Add a new category to Properties
Maybe call it "secrets".
It is a key-vault that only admin (or RBAC assigned users) can see, where you store lookup KVPs like tenantId, appId, etcWhen you define actions, Builders and Admins have a selector that allows to pick from the vault just the key name and inserts the key value when the webhook runs. The selector also allows picking any other property.

Support provisioning devices using DPS and Certificate Authority API
A full CA integrated environment to provide X.509 identity to the devices during manufacturing well integrated to Device Provisioning Services.
As a manufacturer I want to run a batch, the service returns me the secret keys and the DPS is populated with the certificates.
When the device boots up, or on request, it executes the DPS handshakes and it obtains the connection strings for the assigned IoT Central instance without any user interaction.
In general, this is convenient for easy deployment, yet it is required if the devices connect to IoT Hub using "express route" and only can exchange handshakes…

support objects in JSON payload
Nested objects and arrays.
Use case: When the device acts as a protocol translator for another network, example BLE and the payloads are identical but from a different address.
Here is a simplified example:
"ble": [
{
"000B576FC3C7": {
"v": "4",
"T": 30,
"H": 24
},
"000B576FAAAA": {
"v": "4",
"T": 23,
"H": 24
},
}

Support devices use X.509 certificates. Currently only SAS tokens are supported
X.509 is supposed to be more secure than SAS token based security
