AzureIotThing Thing Template
The AzureIotThing Thing Template defines properties and services for an Azure IoT Edge device or an Azure IoT Device. This Thing Template extends the RemoteThingWithFileTransfer Thing Template.
Use the AzureIotThing Thing Template to create Things for devices that connect to an Azure IoT Hub. This Thing Template extends the base RemoteThing Thing Template. In addition, it implements the RoutedEgress Thing Shape. If the Hub is connected and this Thing is not yet created in Azure IoT, the Connector attempts to create the Thing in Azure IoT through the
ConnectionServicesHub Thing.
