Communicate with Azure IoT Hub broker
Azure IoT Hub supports sending or receiving information only on specific topics of a
device.
Azure IoT Hub does not allow you to send and receive information on custom topics. A device
can send or receive information only on specific topics of the device:
- send
- devices/deviceid/messages/events/
- receive
- devices/deviceid/messages/devicebound/#
TIP:
Azure IoT Hub requires wildcard functionality for
subscriptions.
FactoryTalk Optix
does not support wildcards and Azure IoT Hub
Connector subscriptions. Use Azure Event Grid
instead.Prerequisites
