Device identifiers
Device ID
Every Particle device has a unique 24-character hexadecimal identifier known as the Device ID. This never changes for each device, and is the recommended method of uniquely identifying a device.
In device firmware, use System.deviceID()
to return a String
object that contains the Device ID. This is always 24 characters, and the hex letter a-f are always lowercase.
In a webhook, {{{PARTICLE_DEVICE_ID}}}
is the Device ID of the source of the event.
Most Particle cloud API calls that directly reference a device use the Device ID as the default method of identifying a device. For example, to get device information:
GET /v1/devices/:deviceId
