  • Artikkeli

IoT Plug and Play simplifies IoT by enabling you to interact with a device's capabilities without knowledge of the underlying device implementation. This tutorial shows you how to use C# to connect to and control an IoT Plug and Play device that's connected to your solution.

Prerequisites

Before you continue, make sure you've set up your environment, including your IoT hub.

You can run this tutorial on Linux or Windows. The shell commands in this tutorial follow the Linux convention for path separators '/', if you're following along on Windows be sure to swap these separators for '\'.

Clone the SDK repository with the sample code

If you completed Tutorial: Connect a sample IoT Plug and Play device application running on Windows to IoT Hub (C#), you've already cloned the repository.

Clone the samples from the Azure IoT SDK for C# GitHub repository. Open a command prompt in a folder of your choice. Run the following command to clone the Microsoft Azure IoT SDK for .NET GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-csharp.git

Build the device code

You can now build the device sample and run it. Run the following commands to build the sample:

cd azure-iot-sdk-csharp/iothub/device/samples/solutions/PnpDeviceSamples/Thermostat
dotnet build

Run the device sample

To run the sample, run the following command:

dotnet run

The device is now ready to receive commands and property updates, and has started sending telemetry data to the hub. Keep the sample running as you complete the next steps.

Run the sample solution

In Set up your environment for the IoT Plug and Play quickstarts and tutorials you created two environment variables to configure the sample to connect to your IoT hub:

  • IOTHUB_CONNECTION_STRING: the IoT hub connection string you made a note of previously.
  • IOTHUB_DEVICE_ID: "my-pnp-device".

In this tutorial, you use a sample IoT solution written in C# to interact with the sample device you just set up and ran.

  1. In another terminal window, navigate to the azure-iot-sdk-csharp/iothub/service/samples/solutions/PnpServiceSamples/Thermostat folder.

  2. Run the following command to build the service sample:

    dotnet build

  3. Run the following command to run the service sample:

    dotnet run

Get device twin

The following code snippet shows how the service application retrieves the device twin:

// Get a Twin and retrieves model Id set by Device client
Twin twin = await s_registryManager.GetTwinAsync(s_deviceId);
s_logger.LogDebug($"Model Id of this Twin is: {twin.ModelId}");

Note

This sample uses the Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client namespace from the IoT Hub service client. To learn more about the APIs, including the digital twins API, see the service developer guide.

This code generates the following output:

[09/21/2020 11:26:04]dbug: Thermostat.Program[0]
      Model Id of this Twin is: dtmi:com:example:Thermostat;1

The following code snippet shows how to use a patch to update properties through the device twin:

// Update the twin
var twinPatch = new Twin();
twinPatch.Properties.Desired[PropertyName] = PropertyValue;
await s_registryManager.UpdateTwinAsync(s_deviceId, twinPatch, twin.ETag);

This code generates the following output from the device when the service updates the targetTemperature property:

[09/21/2020 11:26:05]dbug: Thermostat.ThermostatSample[0]
      Property: Received - { "targetTemperature": 60°C }.
[09/21/2020 11:26:05]dbug: Thermostat.ThermostatSample[0]
      Property: Update - {"targetTemperature": 60°C } is InProgress.

...

[09/21/2020 11:26:17]dbug: Thermostat.ThermostatSample[0]
      Property: Update - {"targetTemperature": 60°C } is Completed.

Invoke a command

The following code snippet shows how to call a command:

private static async Task InvokeCommandAsync()
{
    var commandInvocation = new CloudToDeviceMethod(CommandName) { ResponseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) };

    // Set command payload
    string componentCommandPayload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(s_dateTime);
    commandInvocation.SetPayloadJson(componentCommandPayload);

    CloudToDeviceMethodResult result = await s_serviceClient.InvokeDeviceMethodAsync(s_deviceId, commandInvocation);

    if (result == null)
    {
        throw new Exception($"Command {CommandName} invocation returned null");
    }

    s_logger.LogDebug($"Command {CommandName} invocation result status is: {result.Status}");
}

This code generates the following output from the device when the service calls the getMaxMinReport command:

[09/21/2020 11:26:05]dbug: Thermostat.ThermostatSample[0]
      Command: Received - Generating max, min and avg temperature report since 21/09/2020 11:25:58.
[09/21/2020 11:26:05]dbug: Thermostat.ThermostatSample[0]
      Command: MaxMinReport since 21/09/2020 11:25:58: maxTemp=32, minTemp=32, avgTemp=32, startTime=21/09/2020 11:25:59, endTime=21/09/2020 11:26:04

Note

These service samples use the Registry class from the IoT Hub service client. To learn more about the APIs, including the digital twins API, see the service developer guide.

Update a writable property

  1. Open the file twin.js in a code editor.

  2. Review the sample code, it shows you two ways to update the device twin. To use the first way, modify the twinPatch variable as follows:

    var twinPatch = {
  tags: {
    city: "Redmond"
  },
  properties: {
    desired: {
      targetTemperature: 42
    }
  }
};

    The targetTemperature property is defined as a writable property in the Thermostat device model.

  3. In the service terminal, use the following command to run the sample for updating the property:

    node twin.js

  4. In your device terminal, you see the device has received the update:

    The following properties will be updated for the default component:
{
  targetTemperature: {
    value: 42,
    ac: 200,
    ad: 'Successfully executed patch for targetTemperature',
    av: 2
  }
}
updated the property

  5. In your service terminal, run the following command to confirm the property is updated:

    node twin.js

  6. In the service terminal output, in the reported properties section, you see the updated target temperature reported. It might take a while for the device to finish the update. Repeat this step until the device has processed the property update:

    "reported": {
  //...
  "targetTemperature": {
    "value": 42,
    "ac": 200,
    "ad": "Successfully executed patch for targetTemperature",
    "av": 4
  },
  //...
}

Invoke a command

  1. Open the file device_method.js and review the code.

  2. Go to the service terminal. Use the following command to run the sample for invoking the command:

    set IOTHUB_METHOD_NAME=getMaxMinReport
set IOTHUB_METHOD_PAYLOAD=commandpayload
node device_method.js

  3. Output in the service terminal shows the following confirmation:

    getMaxMinReport on my-pnp-device:
{
  "status": 200,
  "payload": {
    "maxTemp": 23.460596940801928,
    "minTemp": 23.460596940801928,
    "avgTemp": 23.460596940801928,
    "endTime": "2020-10-05T12:48:08.562Z",
    "startTime": "2020-10-05T12:47:54.450Z"
  }
}

  4. In the device terminal, you see the command is acknowledged:

    MaxMinReport commandpayload
Response to method 'getMaxMinReport' sent successfully.
