Pushing Device Acknowledgment Notifications

Typical Scenario

After an NA subscribes to device acknowledgment notifications (the notification type is messageConfirm) on the IoT platform, the IoT platform sends a notification message to the NA when the IoT platform delivers a command to the device and the device returns a command acknowledgment message (for example, the command is delivered or executed).

API Function

This API is used by the IoT platform to push notification messages to an NA that has subscribed to device acknowledgment notifications.

Note

  1. When Subscribing to Service Data of the IoT Platform, an NA must subscribe to the specified callback address in the API description. The server and port in the callback address are the public IP address and specified port of the NA server.
  2. An NA receives the content of a push message by inheriting the PushMessageReceiver class and rewriting the callback API.
  3. If the callback address is not the address of the NA, the NA must implement the original callback API. For details on the API content, see Message Push in the Huawei IoT Platform Northbound API Reference.
