Message Routing Service and DeviceShadow updates

[Matthew Stowe]

Hello,

I am trying to get confirmation regarding if I should expect to receive DeviceShadow events through the nRF Message Routing Service.

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrf-cloud/page/Devices/MessagesAndAlerts/MessageRoutingService/MessageRoutingOverview.html

I see that the type lists a couple things that we can expect:

• type: The type of the message batch. For device messages, this is device.messages. Other types include test for test messages and system.verification for verification messages.

However, I am not clear if device shadow update events, such as https://github.com/nRFCloud/application-protocols/blob/v1/schemas/deviceShadow/ipShadow/ipShadow.json can be routed through the MRS as well.

I have a web application that I would like to get device shadow updates as well after the device is asked to update it's configuration and the device reports a new state.  Is the only way to get these events through the MQTT topics or is there a message type for the shadow that is not documented here?

Thanks

Hi

With the payload field type, we mean what is the source of the message, test and verification are part of our setup process for a new destination. Shadow updates for example are routed through the device.messages type, as they are processed from device activity with the AWS IoT core.

Something like a device.shadow type would make a lot of sense though. Not a bad idea!

Best regards,
