## Description

Design and implement Arduino integration with Azure IoT Hub and IoT Edge, including secure provisioning, resilient telemetry, command handling, and production guardrails.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Arduino Azure IoT Edge Integration

Use this skill when the user needs to connect Arduino-class devices to Azure IoT, especially in edge-heavy scenarios (gateways, intermittent networks, offline buffering, and local actuation).

## When to use it

Use this skill for requests such as:

- "I want to connect Arduino sensors to Azure"
- "How do I send MQTT telemetry to IoT Hub?"
- "I need an edge gateway for field devices"
- "I want cloud-to-device commands and OTA configuration updates"

## Mandatory documentation review

Before recommending an IoT Edge topology or runtime behavior, review:

- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/iot-edge/

If documentation cannot be consulted, proceed with explicit assumptions and highlight them in a dedicated section.

## Official Arduino references and best practices (required)

Before proposing firmware, wiring, or communication implementation details, consult official Arduino sources first:

- https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide
- https://docs.arduino.cc/
- https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/
- references/arduino-official-best-practices.md

When choosing between implementation alternatives, prioritize official Arduino guidance over community snippets unless there is a clear technical reason to deviate.

## Objectives

- Produce a secure end-to-end reference path from the Arduino device to cloud insights.
- Handle unstable links (store-and-forward, retries, idempotency).
- Define an actionable device and cloud backlog.

## Integration patterns

### Pattern A: Arduino direct to IoT Hub

Use when connectivity is stable and cloud latency is acceptable.

- Protocol: MQTT over TLS.
- Identity: per-device credentials (SAS or X.509).
- Telemetry payload: compact JSON with timestamp, device ID, metrics, and optional quality flags.

### Pattern B: Arduino to local gateway, then IoT Edge

Use when links are constrained, local control is required, or batching improves cost/reliability.
