Devices and data sources in an IoT solution can range from a simple network-connected sensor to a powerful, standalone computing device. Devices may have limited processing capability, memory, communication bandwidth, and communication protocol support. The IoT device SDKs enable you to implement client applications for a wide variety of devices.
The SDK team publishes the SDKs as npm packages:
- Azure IoT Hub Device SDK
- Azure IoT Hub Service SDK
- Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service: Device SDK
- Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service: Service SDK
- Working with the SDKs code: if you are working with the SDK's code to modify it or to contribute changes, then you can clone the repository and build the libraries following these instructions.

The project offers a Long Term Support (LTS) version to allow users that do not need the latest features to be shielded from unwanted changes.
A new LTS version will be created every 6 months. The lifetime of an LTS branch is currently planned for one year. LTS branches receive all bug fixes that fall in one of these categories:
- security bugfixes
- critical bugfixes (crashes, memory leaks, etc.)
No new features or improvements will be picked up in an LTS branch.
LTS branches are named lts_mm_yyyy, where mm and yyyy are the month and year when the branch was created. An example of such a branch is lts_07_2017.
Below is a table showing the mapping of the LTS branches to the package versions released
| NPM Package | Github Branch | LTS Status | LTS Start Date | Maintenance End Date | Removed Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.7.x | lts_09_2018 | Active | 2018-09-16 | 2018-09-16 | 2019-09-16 |
