How to send message from ThingWorx server to edge device?

[Gavin2]

Hi,

I want to send message from ThingWrox server to device(Java sdk), so far I don't get any idea?

I've tried DataChange event and subscription with a java sdk , but have not worked out by this way. The SDK side can't be triggered when RemoteThing change property on ThingWrox server

Any way, I want to know is there a best practise about this and how it can be done?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gavin,

If I correct understood, you want to do something on gateway whenever you want. 

I did something like that I implemented SDK on gateway and generate services on composer. When I try to call this service via rest api, gateway function triggers. You can send message from device/web app/mobile app etc like this. Just implement service function on gateway and try to call this function via api. 

Note: Of course, thing template must be remote thing. :)

Hi burak
Thanks for you solution, I've worked this out by using remote property and service.
