Amazon IoT Device Management Commands now supports dynamic payloads

Posted on: Dec 19, 2025

Amazon IoT Device Management commands now supports dynamic payload functionality, enabling developers to create reusable command templates with placeholders that can be replaced with different values during command execution. The enhancement also includes parameter validation rules to verify that parameter values conform to specified criteria before execution. With this update, developers can now set parameters for the command during runtime, making it easier for them to re-use a command.

This feature is ideal for scenarios where you need to send similar commands with different parameter values to your Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, instead of creating separate commands to set different temperature values of a thermostat, you can now create one template with a temperature placeholder and specify the actual value during runtime. This template-based approach helps streamline command management for applications, such as adjusting device configurations or controlling smart home devices with variable settings.

Amazon IoT Device Management commands is now available in both Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
