Client/Device
The service allows clients to exchange messages with the DeviceHive server using a single persistent connection.
After connection is established, clients need to authenticate using JSON Web Token, and then start sending commands to devices using the command/insert message. As soon as a command is processed by a device, the server sends the command/update message.
After connection is established, devices need to register using the device/save message, perform authentication and then start sending notifications using the notification/insert message.
Clients may also subscribe to device notifications using the notification/subscribe message and then start receiving server-originated messages about new device notifications.
Devices may also subscribe to commands using the command/subscrive message and then start receiving server-originated messages about new commands.
