IoT Plug and Play service developer guide

  • Article

IoT Plug and Play lets you build IoT devices that advertise their capabilities to Azure IoT applications. IoT Plug and Play devices don't require manual configuration when a customer connects them to IoT Plug and Play-enabled applications.

IoT Plug and Play lets you use devices that have announced their model ID with your IoT hub. For example, you can access the properties and commands of a device directly.

If you're using IoT Central, you can use the IoT Central UI and REST API to interact with IoT Plug and Play devices connected to your application.

Service SDKs

Use the Azure IoT service SDKs in your solution to interact with devices and modules. For example, you can use the service SDKs to read and update twin properties and invoke commands. Supported languages include C#, Java, Node.js, and Python.

The Azure IoT service SDKs contain code to facilitate building applications that interact directly with IoT Hub to manage devices and security.

Platform Package Code Repository Samples Reference
.NET NuGet GitHub Samples Reference
Java Maven GitHub Samples Reference
Node npm GitHub Samples Reference
Python pip GitHub Samples Reference

The service SDKs let you access device information from a solution component such as a desktop or web application. The service SDKs include two namespaces and object models that you can use to retrieve the model ID:

  • Iot Hub service client. This service exposes the model ID as a device twin property.

  • Digital Twins client. The new Digital Twins API operates on Digital Twins Definition Language (DTDL) model constructs such as components, properties, and commands. The Digital Twin APIs make it easier for solution builders to create IoT Plug and Play solutions.

IoT Hub service client examples

This section shows C# examples using the IoT Hub service client and the RegistryManager and ServiceClient classes. You use the RegistryManager class to interact with the device state using device twins. You can also use the RegistryManager class to query device registrations in your IoT Hub. You use the ServiceClient class to call commands on the device. The DTDL model for the device defines the properties and commands the device implements. In the code snippets, the deviceTwinId variable holds the device ID of the IoT Plug and Play device registered with your IoT hub.

Get the device twin and model ID

To get the device twin and model ID of the IoT Plug and Play device that connected to your IoT hub:

RegistryManager registryManager = RegistryManager.CreateFromConnectionString(parameters.HubConnectionString);

Twin twin = await registryManager.GetTwinAsync(deviceTwinId);
Console.WriteLine($"Device twin: \n{JsonConvert.SerializeObject(twin, Formatting.Indented)}");
Console.WriteLine($"Model ID: {twin.ModelId}.");

Update device twin

The following code snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a device. The sample shows how you need to get the twin's ETag before you update it. The property is defined in the default component of the device:

Twin twin = await registryManager.GetTwinAsync(deviceTwinId);

int desiredTargetTemperature = 60;

// Update the twin
var twinPatch = new Twin();
twinPatch.Properties.Desired["targetTemperature"] = desiredTargetTemperature;

Console.WriteLine($"Update the targetTemperature property to {desiredTargetTemperature}.");

await registryManager.UpdateTwinAsync(deviceTwinId, twinPatch, twin.ETag);

The following snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a component. The sample shows how you need to get the twin's ETag before you update it. The property is defined in the Thermostat1 component:

Twin twin = await registryManager.GetTwinAsync(deviceTwinId);

int desiredTargetTemperature = 60;

var twinPatch = CreatePropertyPatch("targetTemperature", desiredTargetTemperature, "thermostat1");

await registryManager.UpdateTwinAsync(deviceTwinId, twinPatch, twin.ETag);

// ...

private static Twin CreatePropertyPatch(string propertyName, object propertyValue, string componentName)
{
    var twinPatch = new Twin();
    twinPatch.Properties.Desired[componentName] = new
    {
        __t = "c"
    };
    twinPatch.Properties.Desired[componentName][propertyName] = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(propertyValue);
    return twinPatch;
}

For a property in a component, the property patch looks like the following example:

{
"sampleComponentName":
  {
    "__t": "c",
    "samplePropertyName": 20
  }
}

Call command

The following snippet shows how to invoke the getMaxMinReport command defined in a default component:

ServiceClient serviceClient = ServiceClient.CreateFromConnectionString(parameters.HubConnectionString);

var commandInvocation = new CloudToDeviceMethod("getMaxMinReport") { ResponseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) };

// Set command payload
DateTimeOffset since = DateTimeOffset.Now.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));
string componentCommandPayload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(since);
commandInvocation.SetPayloadJson(componentCommandPayload);

try
{
  CloudToDeviceMethodResult result = await serviceClient.InvokeDeviceMethodAsync(deviceTwinId, commandInvocation);

  Console.WriteLine($"Command getMaxMinReport was invoked." +
      $"\nDevice returned status: {result.Status}. \nReport: {result.GetPayloadAsJson()}");
}
catch (DeviceNotFoundException)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Unable to execute command getMaxMinReport on {deviceTwinId}.";
}

The following snippet shows how to call the getMaxMinReport command on a component. The command is defined in the Thermostat1 component:

// Create command name to invoke for component. The command is formatted as <component name>*<command name>
string commandToInvoke = "thermostat1*getMaxMinReport";
var commandInvocation = new CloudToDeviceMethod(commandToInvoke) { ResponseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) };

// Set command payload
DateTimeOffset since = DateTimeOffset.Now.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));
string componentCommandPayload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(since);
commandInvocation.SetPayloadJson(componentCommandPayload);

try
{
    CloudToDeviceMethodResult result = await serviceClient.InvokeDeviceMethodAsync(deviceTwinId, commandInvocation);
    Console.WriteLine($"Command getMaxMinReport was invoked on component thermostat1." +
        $"\nDevice returned status: {result.Status}. \nReport: {result.GetPayloadAsJson()}");
}
catch (DeviceNotFoundException)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Unable to execute command getMaxMinReport on component thermostat1.");
}

IoT Hub digital twin examples

You use the DigitalTwinClient class to interact with the device state using digital twins. The DTDL model for the device defines the properties and commands the device implements.

This section shows C# examples using the Digital Twins API. The following snippets use the following classes to represent the digital twin of the thermostat and temperature controller devices:

using Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Serialization;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;

namespace Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Samples
{
  internal class ThermostatTwin : BasicDigitalTwin
  {
    [JsonProperty("$metadata")]
    public new ThermostatMetadata Metadata { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("maxTempSinceLastReboot")]
    public double? MaxTempSinceLastReboot { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("targetTemperature")]
    public double? TargetTemperature { get; set; }
  }

  internal class ThermostatMetadata : DigitalTwinMetadata
  {
    [JsonProperty("maxTempSinceLastReboot")]
    public ReportedPropertyMetadata MaxTempSinceLastReboot { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("targetTemperature")]
    public WritableProperty TargetTemperature { get; set; }
  }

  internal class ReportedPropertyMetadata
  {
    [JsonProperty("lastUpdateTime")]
    public DateTimeOffset LastUpdateTime { get; set; }
  }

  internal class TemperatureControllerTwin : BasicDigitalTwin
  {
    [JsonProperty("$metadata")]
    public new TemperatureControllerMetadata Metadata { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("serialNumber")]
    public string SerialNumber { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("thermostat1")]
    public ThermostatTwin Thermostat1 { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("thermostat2")]
    public ThermostatTwin Thermostat2 { get; set; }
  }

  internal class TemperatureControllerMetadata : DigitalTwinMetadata
  {
    [JsonProperty("serialNumber")]
    public ReportedPropertyMetadata SerialNumber { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("thermostat1")]
    public WritableProperty Thermostat1 { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("thermostat2")]
    public WritableProperty Thermostat2 { get; set; }
  }
}

The digitalTwinId variable holds the device ID of the IoT Plug and Play device registered with your IoT hub.

Get the digital twin and model ID

To get the digital twin and model ID of the IoT Plug and Play device that connected to your IoT hub:

DigitalTwinClient digitalTwinClient = DigitalTwinClient.CreateFromConnectionString(parameters.HubConnectionString);
HttpOperationResponse<ThermostatTwin, DigitalTwinGetHeaders> getDigitalTwinResponse = await digitalTwinClient
    .GetDigitalTwinAsync<ThermostatTwin>(digitalTwinId);
ThermostatTwin thermostatTwin = getDigitalTwinResponse.Body;
Console.WriteLine($"Model ID: {thermostatTwin.Metadata.ModelId}.");
Console.WriteLine($"Digital Twin: \n{JsonConvert.SerializeObject(thermostatTwin, Formatting.Indented)}");

Update digital twin

The following code snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a device. The property is defined in the default component of the device:

var updateOperation = new UpdateOperationsUtility();

int desiredTargetTemperature = 60;

// Get the current value of the targetTemperature property
HttpOperationResponse<ThermostatTwin, DigitalTwinGetHeaders> getDigitalTwinResponse = await digitalTwinClient
    .GetDigitalTwinAsync<ThermostatTwin>(digitalTwinId);
double? currentTargetTemperature = getDigitalTwinResponse.Body.TargetTemperature;

// Has the targetTemperature property previously been set?
if (currentTargetTemperature != null)
{
  // Update the existing property
  // Prepend the property path with a '/'
  updateOperation.AppendReplacePropertyOp($"/targetTemperature",   desiredTargetTemperature);
}
else
{
  // Add a new property
  // Prepend the property path with a '/'
  updateOperation.AppendAddPropertyOp($"/targetTemperature", desiredTargetTemperature);
}

// Update the targetTemperature property on the digital twin
HttpOperationHeaderResponse<DigitalTwinUpdateHeaders> updateDigitalTwinResponse = await digitalTwinClient
    .UpdateDigitalTwinAsync(digitalTwinId, updateOperation.Serialize());

Console.WriteLine($"Update {digitalTwinId} digital twin response: {updateDigitalTwinResponse.Response.StatusCode}.");

The following snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a component. The property is defined in the Thermostat1 component:

int desiredTargetTemperature = 60;

var updateOperation = new UpdateOperationsUtility();

// Look at when the property was updated and what was it set to.
HttpOperationResponse<TemperatureControllerTwin, DigitalTwinGetHeaders> getDigitalTwinResponse = await digitalTwinClient
  .GetDigitalTwinAsync<TemperatureControllerTwin>(digitalTwinId);

ThermostatTwin thermostat1 = getDigitalTwinResponse.Body.Thermostat1;

if (thermostat1 != null)
{
  // Thermostat1 is present in the TemperatureController twin. You can add/replace the component-level property "targetTemperature"
  double? currentComponentTargetTemperature = getDigitalTwinResponse.Body.Thermostat1.TargetTemperature;
  if (currentComponentTargetTemperature != null)
  {
      DateTimeOffset targetTemperatureDesiredLastUpdateTime = getDigitalTwinResponse.Body.Thermostat1.Metadata.TargetTemperature.LastUpdateTime;

      // The property path to be replaced should be prepended with a '/'
      updateOperation.AppendReplacePropertyOp("/thermostat1/targetTemperature", desiredTargetTemperature);
  }
  else
  {
      // The property path to be added should be prepended with a '/'
      updateOperation.AppendAddPropertyOp("/thermostat1/targetTemperature", desiredTargetTemperature);
  }
}
else
{
    // Thermostat1 is not present in the TemperatureController twin. Add the component.
    var componentProperty = new Dictionary<string, object> { { "targetTemperature", desiredTargetTemperature }, { "$metadata", new object() } };

    // The property path to be replaced should be prepended with a '/'
    updateOperation.AppendAddComponentOp("/thermostat1", componentProperty);
}

HttpOperationHeaderResponse<DigitalTwinUpdateHeaders> updateDigitalTwinResponse = await digitalTwinClient
    .UpdateDigitalTwinAsync(digitalTwinId, updateOperation.Serialize());

Console.WriteLine($"Update {digitalTwinId} digital twin response: {updateDigitalTwinResponse.Response.StatusCode}.");

Call command

The following snippet shows how to invoke the getMaxMinReport command defined in a default component:

DateTimeOffset since = DateTimeOffset.Now.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));

try
{
  HttpOperationResponse<DigitalTwinCommandResponse, DigitalTwinInvokeCommandHeaders> invokeCommandResponse = await digitalTwinClient
    .InvokeCommandAsync(digitalTwinId, "getMaxMinReport", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(since));

  Console.WriteLine($"Command getMaxMinReport was invoked. \nDevice returned status: {invokeCommandResponse.Body.Status}." +
    $"\nReport: {invokeCommandResponse.Body.Payload}");
}
catch (HttpOperationException e)
{
  if (e.Response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
  {
    Console.WriteLine($"Unable to execute command getMaxMinReport on {digitalTwinId}.");
  }
}

The following snippet shows how to call the getMaxMinReport command on a component. The command is defined in the Thermostat1 component:

DateTimeOffset since = DateTimeOffset.Now.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));

try
{
    HttpOperationResponse<DigitalTwinCommandResponse, DigitalTwinInvokeCommandHeaders> invokeCommandResponse = await digitalTwinClient
        .InvokeComponentCommandAsync(digitalTwinId, "thermostat1", "getMaxMinReport", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(since));

    Console.WriteLine("Command getMaxMinReport was invoked on component thermostat1." +
        $"\nDevice returned status: {invokeCommandResponse.Body.Status}. \nReport: {invokeCommandResponse.Body.Payload}");
}
catch (HttpOperationException e)
{
    if (e.Response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Unable to execute command getMaxMinReport on component thermostat1.");
    }
}

Read device telemetry

IoT Plug and Play devices send the telemetry defined in the DTDL model to IoT Hub. By default, IoT Hub routes the telemetry to an Event Hubs endpoint where you can consume it. To learn more, see Use IoT Hub message routing to send device-to-cloud messages to different endpoints.

The following code snippet shows how to read the telemetry from the default Event Hubs endpoint. The code in this snippet is taken from the IoT Hub quickstart Send telemetry from a device to an IoT hub and read it with a back-end application:

await using EventHubConsumerClient consumer = new EventHubConsumerClient(EventHubConsumerClient.DefaultConsumerGroupName, connectionString, EventHubName);

Console.WriteLine("Listening for messages on all partitions");

try
{
    await foreach (PartitionEvent partitionEvent in consumer.ReadEventsAsync(cancellationToken))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Message received on partition {0}:", partitionEvent.Partition.PartitionId);

        string data = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(partitionEvent.Data.Body.ToArray());
        Console.WriteLine("\t{0}:", data);

        Console.WriteLine("Application properties (set by device):");
        foreach (var prop in partitionEvent.Data.Properties)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\t{0}: {1}", prop.Key, prop.Value);
        }

        Console.WriteLine("System properties (set by IoT Hub):");
        foreach (var prop in partitionEvent.Data.SystemProperties)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\t{0}: {1}", prop.Key, prop.Value);
        }
    }
}
catch (TaskCanceledException)
{
    // This is expected when the token is signaled; it should not be considered an
    // error in this scenario.
}

The following output from the previous code shows the temperature telemetry sent by the no-component Thermostat IoT Plug and Play device that only has the default component. The dt-dataschema system property shows the model ID:

IoT Hub service client examples

This section shows Java examples using the IoT Hub service client and the DeviceTwin and DeviceMethod classes from the com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot.service.devicetwin namespace. You use the DeviceTwin class to interact with the device state using device twins. You can also use the DeviceTwin class to query device registrations in your IoT Hub. You use the DeviceMethod class to call commands on the device. The DTDL model for the device defines the properties and commands the device implements. In the code snippets, the deviceId variable holds the device ID of the IoT Plug and Play device registered with your IoT hub.

Get the device twin and model ID

To get the device twin and model ID of the IoT Plug and Play device that connected to your IoT hub:

DeviceTwin twinClient = DeviceTwin.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);

// ...

DeviceTwinDevice twin = new DeviceTwinDevice(deviceId);
twinClient.getTwin(twin);
System.out.println("Model Id of this Twin is: " + twin.getModelId());

Update device twin

The following code snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a device. You must get the twin before you update it. The property is defined in the default component of the device:

DeviceTwin twinClient = DeviceTwin.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);
DeviceTwinDevice twin = new DeviceTwinDevice(deviceId);
twinClient.getTwin(twin);

double propertyValue = 60.2;
twin.setDesiredProperties(Collections.singleton(new Pair("targetTemperature", propertyValue)));
twinClient.updateTwin(twin);

The following snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a component. You must get the twin before you update it. The property is defined in the thermostat1 component:

public static Set<Pair> CreateComponentPropertyPatch(@NonNull String propertyName, @NonNull double propertyValue, @NonNull String componentName)
{
    JsonObject patchJson = new JsonObject();
    patchJson.addProperty("__t", "c");
    patchJson.addProperty(propertyName, propertyValue);
    return singleton(new Pair(componentName, patchJson));
}

// ...

DeviceTwin twinClient = DeviceTwin.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);
DeviceTwinDevice twin = new DeviceTwinDevice(deviceId);
twinClient.getTwin(twin);

double propertyValue = 60.2;
twin.setDesiredProperties(CreateComponentPropertyPatch("targetTemperature", propertyValue, "thermostat1"));
twinClient.updateTwin(twin);

For a property in a component, the property patch looks like the following example:

{
  "thermostat1":
  {
    "__t": "c",
    "targetTemperature": 60.2
  }
}

Call command

The following snippet shows how to invoke the getMaxMinReport command defined in a default component:

DeviceMethod methodClient = DeviceMethod.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);

Long responseTimeout = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(200);
Long connectTimeout = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(5);

String commandInput = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC).minusMinutes(5).format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME);
MethodResult result = methodClient.invoke(deviceId, "getMaxMinReport", responseTimeout, connectTimeout, commandInput);

System.out.println("Method result status is: " + result.getStatus());

The following snippet shows how to call the getMaxMinReport command on a component. The command is defined in the thermostat1 component:

DeviceMethod methodClient = DeviceMethod.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);

Long responseTimeout = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(200);
Long connectTimeout = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(5);

String commandInput = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC).minusMinutes(5).format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME);
MethodResult result = methodClient.invoke(deviceId, "thermostat1*getMaxMinReport", responseTimeout, connectTimeout, commandInput);

You use the DigitalTwinAsyncClient class in the com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot.service.digitaltwin namespace to interact with the device state using digital twins. The following examples also use the UpdateOperationUtility and BasicDigitalTwin classes from the same namespace. The DTDL model for the device defines the properties and commands the device implements.

The digitalTwinid variable holds the device ID of the IoT Plug and Play device registered with your IoT hub.

Get the digital twin and model ID

To get the digital twin and model ID of the IoT Plug and Play device that connected to your IoT hub:

DigitalTwinAsyncClient asyncClient = DigitalTwinAsyncClient.createFromConnectionString(iotHubConnectionString);

CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
asyncClient.getDigitalTwin(digitalTwinid, BasicDigitalTwin.class)
    .subscribe(
        getResponse ->
        {
            System.out.println("Digital Twin Model Id: " + getResponse.getMetadata().getModelId());
            System.out.println("Digital Twin: " + prettyBasicDigitalTwin(getResponse));
            latch.countDown();
        },
        error ->
        {
            System.out.println("Get Digital Twin failed: " + error);
            latch.countDown();
        });

latch.await(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

// ...

private static String prettyBasicDigitalTwin(BasicDigitalTwin basicDigitalTwin)
{
    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
    return gson.toJson(basicDigitalTwin);
}

Read device telemetry

IoT Plug and Play devices send the telemetry defined in the DTDL model to IoT Hub. By default, IoT Hub routes the telemetry to an Event Hubs endpoint where you can consume it. To learn more, see Use IoT Hub message routing to send device-to-cloud messages to different endpoints.

The following code snippet shows how to read the telemetry from the default Event Hubs endpoint. The code in this snippet is taken from the IoT Hub quickstart Send telemetry from a device to an IoT hub and read it with a back-end application:

import com.azure.messaging.eventhubs.EventHubClientBuilder;
import com.azure.messaging.eventhubs.EventHubConsumerAsyncClient;

// ...

EventHubClientBuilder eventHubClientBuilder = new EventHubClientBuilder()
    .consumerGroup(EventHubClientBuilder.DEFAULT_CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME)
    .connectionString(eventHubCompatibleConnectionString);

try (EventHubConsumerAsyncClient eventHubConsumerAsyncClient = eventHubClientBuilder.buildAsyncConsumerClient()) {

    receiveFromAllPartitions(eventHubConsumerAsyncClient);

}

// ...

private static void receiveFromAllPartitions(EventHubConsumerAsyncClient eventHubConsumerAsyncClient) {

eventHubConsumerAsyncClient
    .receive(false) // set this to false to read only the newly available events
    .subscribe(partitionEvent -> {
        System.out.println();
        System.out.printf("%nTelemetry received from partition %s:%n%s",
            partitionEvent.getPartitionContext().getPartitionId(), partitionEvent.getData().getBodyAsString());
        System.out.printf("%nApplication properties (set by device):%n%s", partitionEvent.getData().getProperties());
        System.out.printf("%nSystem properties (set by IoT Hub):%n%s",
            partitionEvent.getData().getSystemProperties());
    }, ex -> {
        System.out.println("Error receiving events " + ex);
    }, () -> {
        System.out.println("Completed receiving events");
    });
}

The following code snippet shows how to read the telemetry from the default Event Hubs endpoint. The code in this snippet is taken from the IoT Hub quickstart Send telemetry from a device to an IoT hub and read it with a back-end application:

const { EventHubConsumerClient } = require("@azure/event-hubs");

var printError = function (err) {
  console.log(err.message);
};

var printMessages = function (messages) {
  for (const message of messages) {
    console.log("Telemetry received: ");
    console.log(JSON.stringify(message.body));
    console.log("Properties (set by device): ");
    console.log(JSON.stringify(message.properties));
    console.log("System properties (set by IoT Hub): ");
    console.log(JSON.stringify(message.systemProperties));
    console.log("");
  }
};

// ...

const clientOptions = {};

const consumerClient = new EventHubConsumerClient("$Default", connectionString, clientOptions);

consumerClient.subscribe({
  processEvents: printMessages,
  processError: printError,
});

The following output from the previous code shows the temperature telemetry sent by the multi-component TemperatureController IoT Plug and Play device. The dt-subject system property shows the name of the component that sent the telemetry. In this example, the two components are thermostat1 and thermostat2 as defined in the DTDL model. The dt-dataschema system property shows the model ID:

IoT Hub service client examples

This section shows Python examples using the IoT Hub service client and the IoTHubRegistryManager and CloudToDeviceMethod classes. You use the IoTHubRegistryManager class to interact with the device state using device twins. You can also use the IoTHubRegistryManager class to query device registrations in your IoT Hub. You use the CloudToDeviceMethod class to call commands on the device. The DTDL model for the device defines the properties and commands the device implements. In the code snippets, the device_id variable holds the device ID of the IoT Plug and Play device registered with your IoT hub.

Get the device twin and model ID

To get the device twin and model ID of the IoT Plug and Play device that connected to your IoT hub:

from azure.iot.hub import IoTHubRegistryManager
from azure.iot.hub.models import Twin, TwinProperties

iothub_registry_manager = IoTHubRegistryManager(iothub_connection_str)

# ...

twin = iothub_registry_manager.get_twin(device_id)
print("The device twin is: ")
print("")
print(twin)
print("")

additional_props = twin.additional_properties
if "modelId" in additional_props:
    print("The Model ID for this device is:")
    print(additional_props["modelId"])
    print("")

Update device twin

The following code snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a device. The sample shows how you need to get the twin's etag before you update it. The property is defined in the default component of the device:

twin = iothub_registry_manager.get_twin(device_id)

twin_patch = Twin()

twin_patch.properties = TwinProperties(
    desired={"targetTemperature": 42}
)
updated_twin = iothub_registry_manager.update_twin(device_id, twin_patch, twin.etag)

The following snippet shows how to update the targetTemperature property on a component. The sample shows how you need to get the twin's ETag before you update it. The property is defined in the thermostat1 component:

twin_patch = Twin()

twin_patch.properties = TwinProperties(
    desired={ "thermostat1": {
        "__t": "c",
        "targetTemperature": 42}
    }
)
updated_twin = iothub_registry_manager.update_twin(device_id, twin_patch, twin.etag)

For a property in a component, the property patch looks like the following example:

{
"thermostat1":
  {
    "__t": "c",
    "targetTemperature": 20
  }
}

Read device telemetry

IoT Plug and Play devices send the telemetry defined in the DTDL model to IoT Hub. By default, IoT Hub routes the telemetry to an Event Hubs endpoint where you can consume it. To learn more, see Use IoT Hub message routing to send device-to-cloud messages to different endpoints.

The following code snippet shows how to read the telemetry from the default Event Hubs endpoint. The code in this snippet is taken from the IoT Hub quickstart Send telemetry from a device to an IoT hub and read it with a back-end application:

import asyncio
from azure.eventhub import TransportType
from azure.eventhub.aio import EventHubConsumerClient

# Define callbacks to process events
async def on_event_batch(partition_context, events):
    for event in events:
        print("Received event from partition: {}.".format(partition_context.partition_id))
        print("Telemetry received: ", event.body_as_str())
        print("Properties (set by device): ", event.properties)
        print("System properties (set by IoT Hub): ", event.system_properties)
        print()
    await partition_context.update_checkpoint()

async def on_error(partition_context, error):
    # ...

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
client = EventHubConsumerClient.from_connection_string(
    conn_str=CONNECTION_STR,
    consumer_group="$default",
)

try:
    loop.run_until_complete(client.receive_batch(on_event_batch=on_event_batch, on_error=on_error))
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Receiving has stopped.")
finally:
    loop.run_until_complete(client.close())
    loop.stop()

The following output from the previous code shows the temperature telemetry sent by the no-component Thermostat IoT Plug and Play device that only has the default component. The dt-dataschema system property shows the model ID:
