az iot hub device-identity children add

Add devices as children to a target edge device.

az iot hub device-identity children add --child-list --cl
                                        --device-id
                                        [--auth-type {key, login}]
                                        [--force]
                                        [--hub-name]
                                        [--login]
                                        [--resource-group]

Examples

Add a space-separated list of device Ids as children to the target edge device.

az iot hub device-identity children add -d {edge_device_id} --child-list {child_device_id_1} {child_device_id_2} -n {iothub_name}

Add devices as children to the edge device and overwrite the children devices' existing parent.

az iot hub device-identity children add -d {edge_device_id} --child-list {child_device_id_1} {child_device_id_2} -n {iothub_name} -f

Required Parameters

--child-list --cl

Child device list (space separated).

--device-id -d

Id of edge device.

Optional Parameters

The following parameters are optional, but depending on the context, one or more might become required for the command to execute successfully.

--auth-type

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}.

Property	Value
Parameter group:	Access Control Arguments
Default value:	key
Accepted values:	key, login

--force -f

Overwrites the child device's parent device.

Property	Value
Default value:	False

--hub-name -n

IoT Hub name or hostname. Required if --login is not provided.

Property	Value
Parameter group:	IoT Hub Identifier Arguments

--login -l

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.

Property	Value
Parameter group:	IoT Hub Identifier Arguments

--resource-group -g

Name of resource group. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults group=<name>.

Global Parameters

--debug

Property	Value
Default value:	False

--help -h

Show this help message and exit.

--only-show-errors

--output -o

Output format.

Property	Value
Default value:	json
Accepted values:	json, jsonc, none, table, tsv, yaml, yamlc

--query

--subscription

Name or ID of subscription. You can configure the default subscription using az account set -s NAME_OR_ID.

--verbose

Increase logging verbosity. Use --debug for full debug logs.

Property	Value
Default value:	False

az iot hub device-identity children list
