Understand the device model schema

You can use the Device Simulation solution accelerator to generate test loads for solutions that use IoT Hub. When you deploy the Device Simulation solution, a collection of simulated devices is provisioned automatically. You can customize the existing simulated devices or create your own.

This article describes the device model schema that specifies the capabilities and behavior of a simulated device. The device model is stored in a JSON file.

The following articles are related to the current article:

In this article, you learn how to:

[!div class="checklist"]

  • Use a JSON file to define a simulated device model
  • Specify the properties the simulated device
  • Specify the telemetry the simulated device sends
  • Specify the cloud-to-device methods the device responds to

[!INCLUDE iot-accelerators-device-schema]

Next steps

This article described how to create your own custom simulated device model. This article showed you how to:

[!div class="checklist"]

  • Use a JSON file to define a simulated device model
  • Specify the properties the simulated device
  • Specify the telemetry the simulated device sends
  • Specify the cloud-to-device methods the device responds to

Now that you've learned about the JSON schema, the suggested next step is to learn how to implement the behavior of your simulated device.
