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 call this API to modify device information on the IoT platform.

API Function

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

API Prototype

Method

PUT

URL

https://server:port/iocm/app/dm/v1.4.0/devices/{deviceId}?appId={appId}

Transport Protocol

Mandatory

String

path

Uniquely identifies a device. The value of this parameter is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.

appId

Optional

String
