Message
Definition
IoT is all about Devices and the Cloud communicating. These conversations are made up of Messages that share data and initiate actions. They generally consist of three parts:
Message ID - what type of message is being sent
Payload - the data or value being sent
Message formats are defined in the Studio as reusable objects. This means that a single Message format may be used in a variety of Solutions.
Example
The bearings’ in the Plymouth Iot Conveyor Belt began to overheat so it sent a message to the Cloud. The Message contained the Device ID (PICBelt0012), the Message ID (overheat), and a Payload (435°).
