Devices and Hubs
Device
A device relates to the end device such as a beacon or sensor. Devices are automatically created and added to your account after you initiate a scan on any hub that is attached to your appId
. End devices can also be registered manually by contacting Echolo support if needed.

Hub
A Hub can be a physical device or a mobile/web application. Hubs are used to send sensor data from end devices such as a beacon or user input in a web application. Hubs simply collect peripheral information and move it to the platform for use later.
