 We are currently using the HTTP sample on the nrf9160 and are able to send messages using POST commands to the web server. We were wondering if there is a way for our cloud to send a message to the 9160 asynchronously without a POST request</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 11 Mar 2022 09:53:36 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/85697/sending-messages-asynchronously-to-nrf9160" /><item><title>RE: Sending messages asynchronously to nRF9160</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/357590?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Mar 2022 09:53:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:269a0d95-6cef-462d-bb11-6a72495adad1</guid><dc:creator>Markus Tacker (he/him)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, &lt;a href="https://api.nrfcloud.com/v1#operation/SendDeviceMessage"&gt;there is&lt;/a&gt;. However this requires the device to be connected using MQTT in order to receive the message. HTTP is a poor choice for cloud-to-device communication and should be avoided, because it is a client-server architecture and expects the server to up all the time. In your scenario the nRF9160 would need to act as the HTTP server.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
