Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • assetId (string) --

      The ID of the asset.

    • assetArn (string) --

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

      arn:${Partition}:iotsitewise:${Region}:${Account}:asset/${AssetId}

    • assetName (string) --

    • 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.

      • (dict) --

        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.
