# Connect a Heat Pump

Create an onboarding session and redirect your user to Connect UI to add their device:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST \
    'https://app.podero.com/api/partners/v2.0/device-onboarding' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer {auth_token}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "language": "en",
      "price_zone_default": "DE",
      "success_url": "https://yourapp.com/success",
      "cancel_url": "https://yourapp.com/cancel",
      "user": "{user_id}"
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  response = requests.post(
      'https://app.podero.com/api/partners/v2.0/device-onboarding',
      headers={
          'Authorization': f'Bearer {auth_token}',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      json={
          'language': 'en',
          'price_zone_default': 'DE',
          'success_url': 'https://yourapp.com/success',
          'cancel_url': 'https://yourapp.com/cancel',
          'user': user_id,
      }
  )

  # Redirect user to this URL
  authentication_url = response.json()['authentication_url']
  print(f"Redirect to: {authentication_url}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**What happens next:**

1. User is redirected to Connect UI
2. User selects their device manufacturer
3. User authenticates with manufacturer credentials
4. Device is connected and linked to their account
5. User is redirected back to your `success_url` with `?deviceId={device_id}`

<Tip>
  For testing, use demo credentials: `demomyuplink@nibe.se` / `Demo1234`
