Tutorial for the Edge MicroServer > Property Subscriptions
Property Subscriptions
Posting data to the ThingWorx Platform would become really complex if you just made service calls to update your data. A property subscription allows your ThingWorx Platform to ask for property values it wants and update them automatically. The subscribed property management tools of the ThingWorx EMS provide convenient features such as:
Storing property changes when offline to be delivered later
Allowing changes to be delivered in batches
Pushing changes only when values change, based on a configurable threshold
Allowing changes to be folded or reduced
Your EMS will register the properties you want to communicate to the platform. Pushing is the process of sending queued batches of property updates to the ThingWorx Platform.
Registering Properties
The EMS uses a declarative approach to register properties for you. Each device property name must be bound to the Thing in ThingWorx. Binding can be done through Manage Remote Bindings page in ThingWorx Composer once a device is communicating with a ThingWorx Platform.
