Azure Digital Twins
Azure Digital Twins is a platform that provides organizations with the foundation they need to create the next generation of IoT solutions. With Azure Digital Twins, you can virtually replicate the physical world by modeling the relationships between people, places, and devices in a special intelligence graph. You can use predefined data schema that are aligned to a solution’s domain-specific needs and that can accelerate and simplify it’s creation. You can query data in the context of a space rather than from disparate sensors. And you can build solutions that scale and replicate across multiple tenants.
More details are available in the Azure Digital Twins documentation. If you have a technical issue, please open a post on the developer forums through Stack Overflow.

Explain how to access the IoT Hub created by the sample Azure Digital Twins
I started using ADT with the samples provided, and the "occupancy-quickstart" project created an IoT Hub automatically. I can send events to it and redirect them to another location using endpoints, but I don't see the hub anywhere in our subscription, and as such, I cannot manage it. Also, it doesn't appear when I run the "az iot hub list" command in the Azure console.
So, how can we access that hub? Or maybe a best practice would be to create one hub beforehand and assign it to the root of the ADT space tree by hand?
Thanks for clarifying…20 votes -
Link arbitrary sensor data types to arbitrary data sub types/data unit types
Currently, if you'd add a new sensor, for instance a 'Gas' sensor, we'd like to provide the following types:
Type: Manufacturer
Data type: Gas
Data sub type: Delivery
Data unit type: CubicMeterGasHowever, the Data sub type has to be named 'DeliveryGas'. Even though we'd also like an Energy sensor with:
Type: Manufacturer
Data type: Energy
Data sub type: Delivery
Data unit type: KilowattHourEnergyNow we have to define two separate sub types. If this is by design, let us know :)

Enhance the current space graph model of digital twin to define store to persist historical sensor data to Cosmos or HD Insight..

Unable to push data for some sensor hardware ids
I made a setup using the csharp ProvisionSample flow.
Simplified the user defined function to just set the sensor value in the graph:
function process(telemetry, executionContext) {
try {
// Log SensorId and Message
log(`Sensor ID: ${telemetry.SensorId}. `);
log(`Sensor value: ${JSON.stringify(telemetry.Message)}.`);// Get sensor metadata
var sensor = getSensorMetadata(telemetry.SensorId);// Retrieve the sensor reading
var parseReading = JSON.parse(telemetry.Message);// Set the sensor reading as the current value for the sensor.
setSensorValue(telemetry.SensorId, sensor.DataType, parseReading.SensorValue);} catch (error) {
log(`An error has occurred processing the UDF Error: ${error.name} Message ${error.message}.`);
}
}Created some spaces, with a device in one of them,…

Postman Collection for download
It save a lot of time if there was a downloadable Postman collection with the API calls already defined (as with Swagger). It is simple to export/import a collection and environments can be used to ensure that credentials are kept separate.

Error when creating a property key of type 'DateTime' and min/max values
When we specify a min and/or max value for creating a property key of type 'DateTime', we get an error stating that the min/max is invalid.
According to the doc, ISO8601 datetimes should be used, but:
- DateTime.ToString("o") gives a value that is too long (more than 20 chars, due to milliseconds);
- A string like "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z" is not accepted for instance;
- Tried with epoch notation, no luck either;Do you have an example of a proper value? Could the documentation be updated to show such example? Or if it is a bug, then...
Thanks!

Moving a device from a space to another does not automatically move the attached sensors
Hello,
I recently moved a device from one spaceId to another via API call from Postman. To my surprise, the sensors attached to that device were still assigned to the previous spaceId. But, in the Azure Digital Twins Graph Viewer, they were properly displayed. Is this a bug in the API or is it a desired behaviour?
Kind regards,

Integrate Elastic/AzureSearch to add full text index and searching functionality
It would be really helpful to be able to search for values within the content of the Digital Twins, e.g. searching in the names, properties, keys and attachments of the nodes within the Azure Twin tree.

Please fix the ErrorInformation metadata produced in the Open API spec for Digital Twins
Here's what the API metadata says is produced for ErrorInformation when creating a new Device with a POST call:
{
"code": "string",
"message": "string",
"target": "string",
"details": [
null
],
"exception": {}
}Here's what's actually produced:
{"error":{"code":"400.600.000.000","message":"Device already exists."}}
The claimed ErrorInformation object is actually a child of what's produced in the "error" property, rather than being the root object. Please fix this as it is breaking our error handling strategies for Digital Twin.

PUT /management/api/v1.0/endpoints/{id}
Hello,
I am trying to replace an already existing endpoint to make it point to a different Events Hub instance. Checking the swagger documentation for my Digital Twins, I saw the PUT /endpoints/{id} which should do just that.
But, I am currently getting a surprising error:

"code": "400.600.000.000",
"message": "An eventhub endpoint with DeviceMessage eventType has already been created. Only one endpoint of this combination can be created."

Does all data have to reside on Azure for Digital Twin - are API "pull" calls avaliable
We are looking to create a digital twin based on the key asset attributes after it has undergone post processing from a device and is on an enterprise system. Rather that extract all the data continuously “Push” we would like to perform a pull on the data as required so that it is performed in a method that can substantiate the Digital twin when it is called upon “Pull” rather than continuous?

Digital Twin service creation flow needs to check for name collisions
If you pick an obviously used name like "Twins", the service creation flow gives it a green check mark and lets you continue, but when you look at the status later you see deployment failed:
{
"code": "DeploymentFailed",
"message": "At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details.",
"details": [
{
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "{\r\n \"code\": \"BadRequest\",\r\n \"message\": \"Service 'Twins' is already in use. Please choose a different name.\",\r\n \"details\": {\r\n \"code\": 400\r\n }\r\n}"
}
]
}This should be verified during creation, just like all other services.
