Examples

Basic usage with default message body

az iot device c2d-message send -d {device_id} -n {iothub_name}

Optional Parameters

--ack

Request the delivery of per-message feedback regarding the final state of that message. The description of ack values is as follows. Positive: If the c2d message reaches the Completed state, IoT Hub generates a feedback message. Negative: If the c2d message reaches the Dead lettered state, IoT Hub generates a feedback message. Full: IoT Hub generates a feedback message in either case. By default, no ack is requested.

--wait -w

If set the c2d send operation will block until device feedback has been received.
