Understanding event routes
Event routes allow us to send data between two different Azure digital twins within the same Azure digital twin or to another service outside the Azure digital twin.
Routing an event within the Azure digital twin is done to update a specific Digital Twin based on changing another Digital Twin. Some example scenarios are shown here:
- Updating a digital twin that represents an Alert containing the maximum values of sensors. This Alert can be accessed to get a high-level overview of the maxima of the sensors in the system.
- Updating a parent digital twin object with an average. Let's assume you have a Floor containing several Room digital twins with temperature sensors. An average temperature is then stored at the Floor level.
Routing an event outside the Azure digital twin is done to send data to another service using one of the event endpoints. Some example scenarios are shown here:
