Example for using the IoT Output Node in NodeRed
Hi,
I'm wondering how I can use the IoT output node to send data back to my device ?
Regards Joerg
Good day Joerg,
In short, you can't... yet.
There is no such feature in the quickstart IoT service.
It is unlikely that this feature will exist before device security/registration is added (otherwise, anybody could send data back to your device).
If you want a longer answer or some idea of timescales, I can find out for you if you like.
Regards,
Ben
Thanks Ben, I would really interested to get some ideas of timescales. The most scenarios I'm currently thinking about are bidirectional and I won't use a different protocol for outbound responses. Cheers Joerg
Just to re-clarify where I may have made a mistake in my answer:
Sending data back to the device will never be available in the quickstart (because the quickstart will not be secure). You will need a private account for device security (and hence bidirectional data flow).
So to send data back to the device in the quickstart service: Never, you'll need an account to do this.
Hi Joerg, it's great to see you using the QuickStart portal. We are actively working on a number of enhancements to the IoT Service and as soon as they are available we will update the service and blog about the changes, here in the dW space.
