Listen to Events triggered by Device
Device can send message to IoT platform reporting its property's value has changed, we call it Device Status Change
. It can also send message to IoT platform reporting an Event
. Let's say we have a smart speaker that can recognize audio, so
- A property describes an internal state of the device, e.g. a
Volume
property tells how loud our speak is. - An event, on the other hand, is a temporary data generated by device, e.g. after our speaker recognized an audio input, it will generate a
recognized
event.
