Hi, I was wondering if there was the chance to set up a script to run to automatically install and connect any of my Raspberry Pi 4 devices to my Mender Dashboard. At the moment to do that I have to access the dashboard, click on add device, following the procedure copying the code provided, and pasting it on my device. I would like to have a script that downloads, install and connect the client to my dashboard and, the only thing I have to do is to accept it from the dashboard. My idea was to put on a script the code provided by the Mender dashboard while trying to add a new device but, I guess, the code is unique everytime a new device is added, isn’t it? ---

It sounds pretty strange to me that everyone in the world are adding devices manually everytime… UP ---

Hi Nico, this should be perfectly possible to automate, sure. Does the unattended installation as documented [here](https://docs.mender.io/client-installation/install-with-debian-package#option-2-unattended-installation) work for you? You can get the needed credential token from your dashboard. If something is missing, or doesn’t work for you, please tell me a little bit more about your way of provisioning (especially, which OS and how the image is being built) so we can improve. Thanks!
