Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • assetId (string) --

      The ID of the asset.

    • assetArn (string) --

      The ARN of the asset, which has the following format.

    • assetModelId (string) --

      The ID of the asset model that was used to create the asset.

    • assetProperties (list) --

      The list of asset properties for the asset.

      This object doesn't include properties that you define in composite models. You can find composite model properties in the assetCompositeModels object.

        Contains asset property information.

        • id (string) --

          The ID of the asset property.

        • name (string) --

          The name of the property.

        • alias (string) --

          The alias that identifies the property, such as an OPC-UA server data stream path (for example, /company/windfarm/3/turbine/7/temperature ). For more information, see Mapping industrial data streams to asset properties in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

        • notification (dict) --

          The asset property's notification topic and state. For more information, see UpdateAssetProperty.

          • topic (string) --

            The MQTT topic to which IoT SiteWise publishes property value update notifications.

        • unit (string) --

          The unit (such as Newtons or RPM ) of the asset property.

    • assetHierarchies (list) --

    • assetCompositeModels (list) --

      The composite models for the asset.

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about a composite model in an asset. This object contains the asset's properties that you define in the composite model.
