[ aws . iotthingsgraph ]
Associates a device with a concrete thing that is in the user’s registry.
A thing can be associated with only one device at a time. If you associate a thing with a new device id, its previous association will be removed.

--thing-name
(string)
The name of the thing to which the entity is to be associated.
--entity-id
(string)
The ID of the device to be associated with the thing.
The ID should be in the following format.
urn:tdm:REGION/ACCOUNT ID/default:device:DEVICENAME
--namespace-version
(long)
The version of the user’s namespace. Defaults to the latest version of the user’s namespace.
--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.
To associate a thing with a device
The following associate-entity-to-thing
example associates a thing with a device. The example uses a motion sensor device that is in the public namespace.
aws iotthingsgraph associate-entity-to-thing \
--thing-name "MotionSensorName" \
--entity-id "urn:tdm:aws/examples:Device:HCSR501MotionSensor"
This command produces no output.
