# Devices
A **device** can be added to the Widgelix using its corresponding device type template.
{% hint style="info" %}
Before adding a device, its corresponding device type must be added to the Widgelix.
{% endhint %}
The device type template provides all the general settings for the device, such as basic information, uplink payload formatter and data fields, downlink payload formatter and data fields, radio and battery parameters, as well as widgets.
A device inherits from a device type, and you can configure individual devices with more specific settings such as network connectivity (network server), public address, time zone, online threshold, geolocation, and downlinks.
By correctly configuring the device type template, you can easily add new devices to Widgelix.
To add a new device or view existing devices, click on **Devices** in the left menu.
If no device has been created within your organization yet, the **Devices - Create your first device** page will be displayed.
Otherwise, the **Devices** page will be displayed, showing the list of previously created devices.
