DeviceType

Represents a type of the device.

For DeviceType resource details, see the resource representation page.

list	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceType)	GET /devicetype	Gets list of device types. The result list is limited to device types the client has access to.
count	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceType)	GET /devicetype/count	Gets count of device types the client has access to.
get	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceType)	GET /devicetype/{id}	Gets information about device type and its devices.

DeviceCommand

Represents a device command, a unit of information sent to devices.

For DeviceCommand resource details, see the resource representation page.

Method	Authorization	Uri	Description
query	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/{deviceId}/command	Queries device commands.
get	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/{deviceId}/command/{commandId}	Gets information about device command.
insert	Access JSON Web Token (CreateDeviceCommand)	POST /device/{deviceId}/command	Creates new device command.
update	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/{deviceId}/command/poll	Updates an existing device command.
poll	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/{deviceId}/command/{commandId}/poll	Polls new device commands. This method returns all device commands that were created after specified timestamp. In the case when no commands were found, the method blocks until new command is received. If no commands are received within the waitTimeout period, the server returns an empty response. In this case, to continue polling, the client should repeat the call with the same timestamp value.
wait	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/{deviceId}/command/{commandId}/poll	Waits for a command to be processed. This method returns a command only if it has been processed by a device. In the case when command is not processed, the method blocks until device acknowledges command execution. If the command is not processed within the waitTimeout period, the server returns an empty response. In this case, to continue polling, the client should repeat the call.
pollMany	Access JSON Web Token (GetDeviceCommand)	GET /device/command/poll	Polls new device commands. This method returns all device commands that were created after specified timestamp. In the case when no commands were found, the method blocks until new command is received. If no commands are received within the waitTimeout period, the server returns an empty response. In this case, to continue polling, the client should repeat the call with the same timestamp value.
