Associating a custom function as a message handler in a device model

Associating a custom function as a message handler in a device model

You can create multiple message handler custom functions for a device model and then choose the one that you require for it. This ensures that all devices based on that model will automatically include the message handler.

Prerequisite:  You must have already created one or more message handler custom functions for this required device model.

To associate a custom function to a device model,
  1. Access the Developer Application.
  2. Click Devices in the left pane.
  3. Click on the name of the device model for which you want to add the message handler. For this illustration, the device model DG Gateway is selected.



  4. Scroll down on the left pane of the device model's information page and select Message Handler.



  5. Click Configure Message Handler.



  6. Click Associate Custom Function.



  7. Select the custom function you want to use as the message handler and click Associate.



    Note: Make sure the current device model was selected in the Model/Module field when the custom function was created; only then will the custom function appear in the list.

  8. Click Save.

 
The selected custom function will be associated as the message handler for the device model.
