Modifying Device Information

Typical Scenario

After an NA registers a device with the IoT platform and the basic information about the device changes, the NA can also call this API to modify device information on the IoT platform.

API Function

This API is used to modify the basic information about a device, including the device type, device model, manufacturer, and access protocol.

API Description

body

For details, see ModifyDeviceInfoInDTO structure.

deviceId

Mandatory

String

path

Identifies a device. The device ID is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.

appId

Optional

String

query

If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to None. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.
