Azure IoT Explorer provides a graphical environment for testing and interacting with devices registered in Azure IoT Hub. It allows developers to connect using IoT Hub connection strings or Microsoft Entra ID authentication. Users can browse device identities, create new device registrations, and delete existing entries. Device details provide access to supported properties, commands, and telemetry information. The application supports Azure IoT Plug and Play devices through Digital Twins Definition Language models. Developers can inspect implemented components and interact with their interfaces. Its cross-platform interface simplifies IoT experimentation without requiring every operation to be performed through scripts. Azure IoT Explorer is intended for learning and testing rather than production administration, and the project is no longer actively maintained.
