Create Your Electric Imp Account

In this stage of the guide, you will set up your free Electric Imp developer account.

Note This stage doesn’t require development hardware, but we recommend that you obtain your impExplorer™ Developer Kit from the Electric Imp Store before you start so that you will be ready to proceed to stage two once you’ve completed the following steps.

1. Open a new tab in your web browser and go to the Electric Imp account registration page in the Electric Imp impCloud™.

2. Enter your email address in the Sign Up field and then click the Sign Up button:

3. You will shortly receive an email message which asks you to verify your email address:

4. Click Complete Signup in the Welcome to impCentral email. You’ll be taken back to impCentral to choose an account username and password, and to enter some basic information about yourself:

Your password must be 8-20 characters, as must your username — which must not be your email address.

Make sure you check the By creating this account.. box at the bottom, and read our terms of service and privacy policy, then click the Set button to apply your choices.

You are now ready to move on to the next stage: Activate Your impExplorer.
