az iot hub device-twin list
List device twins in an IoT Hub.
This command is the same as iot hub query with the query "select * from devices" for all devices and "select * from devices where capabilities.iotEdge = true" for edge devices.
az iot hub device-twin list [--auth-type {key, login}]
[--edge-enabled {false, true}]
[--hub-name]
[--login]
[--resource-group]
[--top]
Optional Parameters
Indicates whether the operation should auto-derive a policy key or use the current Azure AD session. If the authentication type is login and the resource hostname is provided, resource lookup will be skipped unless needed.You can configure the default using az configure --defaults iothub-data-auth-type={auth-type-value}
.
Flag indicating edge enablement.
IoT Hub name or hostname. Required if --login is not provided.
This command supports an entity connection string with rights to perform action. Use to avoid session login via "az login". If both an entity connection string and name are provided the connection string takes priority. Required if --hub-name is not provided.
Name of resource group. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults group=<name>
.
Maximum number of elements to return. Use -1 for unlimited.
Global Parameters
Increase logging verbosity to show all debug logs.
Show this help message and exit.
Only show errors, suppressing warnings.
Output format.
JMESPath query string. See http://jmespath.org/ for more information and examples.
Name or ID of subscription. You can configure the default subscription using az account set -s NAME_OR_ID
.
Increase logging verbosity. Use --debug for full debug logs.
az iot hub device-twin replace
Replace device twin definition with target json.
Input json directly or use a file path.
az iot hub device-twin replace --device-id
--json
[--auth-type {key, login}]
[--etag]
[--hub-name]
[--login]
[--resource-group]
Examples
Replace device twin with file contents.
az iot hub device-twin replace -d {device_id} -n {iothub_name} -j ../mydevicetwin.json
Required Parameters
Target Device Id.
Json to replace existing twin with. Provide file path or raw json.
Optional Parameters
Indicates whether the operation should auto-derive a policy key or use the current Azure AD session. If the authentication type is login and the resource hostname is provided, resource lookup will be skipped unless needed.You can configure the default using az configure --defaults iothub-data-auth-type={auth-type-value}
.
Etag or entity tag corresponding to the last state of the resource. If no etag is provided the value '*' is used.
IoT Hub name or hostname. Required if --login is not provided.
This command supports an entity connection string with rights to perform action. Use to avoid session login via "az login". If both an entity connection string and name are provided the connection string takes priority. Required if --hub-name is not provided.
Name of resource group. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults group=<name>
.

az iot hub device-twin update
Update device twin desired properties and tags.
Provide --desired or --tags arguments for PATCH behavior. Both parameters support inline json or a file path to json content. Usage of generic update args (i.e. --set) will reflect PUT behavior and are deprecated.

[--set]
[--tags]
Examples
Patch device twin desired properties.
az iot hub device-twin update -n {iothub_name} -d {device_id} --desired '{"conditions":{"temperature":{"warning":70, "critical":100}}}'
Patch device twin tags.
az iot hub device-twin update -n {iothub_name} -d {device_id} --tags '{"country": "USA"}'
Patch device twin tags with json file content.
az iot hub device-twin update -n {iothub_name} -d {device_id} --tags /path/to/file
Patch removal of 'critical' desired property from parent 'temperature'
az iot hub device-twin update -n {iothub_name} -d {device_id} --desired '{"condition":{"temperature":{"critical": null}}}'
Required Parameters
Target Device Id.
Optional Parameters
Add an object to a list of objects by specifying a path and key value pairs. Example: --add property.listProperty <key=value, string or JSON string>
.
Indicates whether the operation should auto-derive a policy key or use the current Azure AD session.

.
Twin desired properties.
Etag or entity tag corresponding to the last state of the resource. If no etag is provided the value '*' is used.
When using 'set' or 'add', preserve string literals instead of attempting to convert to JSON.
IoT Hub name or hostname. Required if --login is not provided.
