Synopsis

  update-thing-group
--thing-group-name <value>
--thing-group-properties <value>
[--expected-version <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--thing-group-name (string)

The thing group to update.

--thing-group-properties (structure)

The thing group properties.

thingGroupDescription -> (string)

The thing group description.

attributePayload -> (structure)

The thing group attributes in JSON format.

attributes -> (map)

A JSON string containing up to three key-value pair in JSON format. For example:

{\"attributes\":{\"string1\":\"string2\"}}

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

merge -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the list of attributes provided in the AttributePayload is merged with the attributes stored in the registry, instead of overwriting them.

To remove an attribute, call UpdateThing with an empty attribute value.

Note

The merge attribute is only valid when calling UpdateThing or UpdateThingGroup .

Shorthand Syntax:

thingGroupDescription=string,attributePayload={attributes={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},merge=boolean}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "thingGroupDescription": "string",
  "attributePayload": {
    "attributes": {"string": "string"
      ...},
    "merge": true|false
  }
}

--expected-version (long)

The expected version of the thing group. If this does not match the version of the thing group being updated, the update will fail.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

    --thing-group-properties "thingGroupDescription=\"Halogen bulb group\", attributePayload={attributes={Manufacturer=AnyCompany,wattage=60}}"

Output:

{
    "version": 2
}
