Arduino Azure IoT Checklist
Use this checklist before finalizing architecture or implementation guidance.
0) Official Arduino Baseline
- Official references reviewed from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide and https://docs.arduino.cc/.
- Language/API calls validated against https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/.
- Best practices reviewed from
references/arduino-official-best-practices.md.
1) Device Profile
- MCU model and memory constraints documented.
- Sensor list and sampling strategy defined.
- Power model documented (mains, battery, sleep cycles).
2) Connectivity
- Selected transport documented (MQTT over TLS preferred).
- Network failure behavior defined.
- Local timestamp strategy defined if device lacks RTC sync.
3) Security
- Unique identity per device.
- No secrets in source control.
- Credential rotation plan documented.
- Firmware update and rollback plan documented.
4) Edge and Cloud Flow
- Routing from edge to IoT Hub documented.
- Offline buffering limits defined.
- Duplicate handling strategy documented.
- Alerting thresholds and destinations defined.
5) Validation
- Connectivity soak test scenario.
- Packet loss and reconnection test.
- Command authorization test.
- Firmware version and health reporting verification.
