Hello @Gorantla Srikanth ,

welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

You can use the IoT Central equivalent of Azure IoT Hub direct methods or desired properties.

In IoT Central this is a Command for a direct method and a writable property for a devicetwin desired property.

a non-writable property is the equivalent of a devicetwin reported property.

Notice you need to write custom logic on the device side to handle the incoming desired property or direct method to turn that signal into a files or patches.

The jobs are there for managing devices in bulk.
