Azure IoT Development Cookbook

By: Yatish Patil

Overview of this book

Microsoft’s end-to-end IoT platform is the most complete IoT offering, empowering enterprises to build and realize value from IoT solutions efficiently. It is important to develop robust and reliable solutions for your organization to leverage IoT services. This book focuses on how to start building custom solutions using the IoT hub or the preconfigured solution of Azure IoT suite. As a developer, you will be taught how to connect multiple devices to the Azure IoT hub, develop, manage the IoT hub service and integrate the hub with cloud. We will be covering REST APIs along with HTTP, MQTT and AMQP protocols. It also helps you learn Pre-Configured IoT Suite solution. Moving ahead we will be covering topics like:-Process device-to-cloud messages and cloud-to-device messages using .Net-Direct methods and device management-Query Language, Azure IoT SDK for .Net-Creating and managing, Securing IoT hub, IoT Suite and many more. We will be using windows 10 IoT core, Visual Studio, universal Windows platform. At the end, we will take you through IoT analytics and provide a demo of connecting real device with Azure IoT.

Device jobs

In a typical scenario, the device administrator or operators are required to manage devices in bulk. In the earlier sections, we looked at the device twin, which maintains properties and tags. Conceptually, the job is nothing but a wrapper on the possible actions, which can be done in bulk.

Suppose we have a scenario in which we need to update the properties for multiple devices; in such a case, one can schedule the job and track the progress of the job. I would like to set the frequency to send the data every 1 hour instead of every 30 minutes for 1000 IoT devices. Another example could be to reboot multiple devices at the same time.

Device administrators can perform device registrations in bulk using the export and import methods.
