Lookup Tools

Identify device over USB

Your Particle device must be connected by USB to your computer and in listening mode (blinking dark blue). If it's in another mode, hold down MODE (SETUP on Photon) until the status LED blinks dark blue.

The identify tool only works on Chrome (version 89 or newer) on Windows 10, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook. If you are using a different browser, you can use the Particle CLI and the particle identify command instead.

Serial number lookup

Look up a device from its Particle serial number. It's encoded in the data-matrix code on the product label, and also printed under it on the label. It's a mix of letters and numbers of varying length.

Tip: A wireless USB 2D barcode scanner such as this one work great for scanning Particle serial number stickers. Just position the cursor in the serial number field above and click the trigger. The scanner emulates a USB keyboard and will type the serial number into the box. (This tool will ignore the mobile secret if that's included in the data matrix code.)

Older tools

There were previously tools for looking up a device ID or ICCID here, however you should use the feature built into the console instead.
