Modifying Device Information

Typical Scenario

After an NA registers a device on the IoT platform and the basic information about the device changes, the NA can also call this API to modify device information on the IoT platform.

API Function

This API is used to modify the basic information about a device, including the device type, device model, manufacturer, and access protocol.

API Description

1
void modifyDeviceInfo(ModifyDeviceInforInDTO mdiInDto, String deviceId, String appId, String accessToken) throws NorthApiException

query

If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to null. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.

accessToken

Mandatory

String

header

If the Periodically Refreshing a Token API is called, set this parameter to null. Otherwise, set this parameter to the accessToken obtained by the Authentication API.
