Using nrf9160-DK and nrfCloud is it possible to demonstrate remote switching on/off of one of the LEDs

Question

Hi 
 I am playing with the nrf9160-DK (with asset traker sample app) and when I toggle SWITCH 1 I can see the FLIP message displayed in the nrfCloud portal when I view that device. That is 99% of the use case which caters for data going from 91-DK to nrfCloud. 
 However, is there a sample app for the 91-DK which combined with nrfCloud (or some other cloud entity) allows me to do something on the web portal for nrfCloud so that one of the LED's on the DK is switched on or off? 
 An example use case is to use the nrf9160 in a lock on a door so that it can be remotely controlled. 
 For now I only need to show it as a proof of concept and if successfully demonstrated will need to a large implementation. 
 I look forward to hearing from you 
 Kind regards Mahendra

Hi Mahendra, 
 Sorry for the delay. 
 Here is an example showing how to change the colors of the RGB LED for Thingy:91. 
 Entering this line into the terminal box in nRF Cloud should change the color of the LED. 
 {"appId":"LED","messageType":"CFG_SET","data": {"color":"0xAB120F"}} 
 Here is where you can find the example and a few other examples. 
 https://github.com/nRFCloud/application-protocols/blob/v1/messages.md 
 I believe line 877 in main.c for asset_tracker shows how the RGB is changed after receiving a message from cloud. I am trying to find a similar way to do this for the nRF9160 DK. 
 
 Best regards, 
 Håkon
