Opta + Arduino Cloud, where to input BOARD_ID?

Official Hardware Opta

Hi, fellow. This is my first thread here :slight_smile:

I've used Arduino Cloud with ESP32 for a while, now am expanding to OPTA Wifi.

My experience with ESP32 tell s me that each device must have its own unique BOARD_ID, which is typed in arduino_secrets.h, together with the SECRET_SSID and SECRET_PASS. But the tutorial below doesn't mention anything about BOARD_ID, hence I wonder how Arduino Cloud can recoginize my Opta.
https://docs.arduino.cc/software/plc-ide/tutorials/plc-ide-cloud-support/

I don't get sucess by following the totorial. Can the missing BOARD_ID be the cause?

Hi @conliot :slight_smile:

Setting up Opta on Arduino Cloud can be done in just a few clicks as shown in the User Manual: https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/opta/user-manual/#arduino-cloud
Opta is automatically recognized as an Arduino device.

Best,
