I’ve been working more with Azure IoT Edge Devices recently and with versions of the IoT Hub EdgeAgent and the Python SDKs I noticed a few very non-descriptive errors when trying to patch device properties with the patch_twin_reported_properties() method.

Here’s a quick look at them in case anyone else notices these later on.

2020 was, well… 2020. I hope if you’re reading this you’re doing okay and pardoning my periodic disappearances as we all figure out how to handle everything the world is throwing at us. This year, I’ll be recapping my year but I’d also like to take more time to offer a few things I can share that might make 2021 easier for any of my readers.

This is the first episode of Reader Questions! I’ve started getting more and more questions from readers of my blog and social media so I’ve decided to start posting my answers publicly so everyone can benefit. These questions and answers may be edited slightly to apply more generally and preserve anonymity but hopefully they’ll be useful for you too!

Today’s episode contains questions related to serverless, frontend development, IoT, internships, and more!

I just published a new guide on Connecting an Avnet MaaxBoard to Azure IoT. It should take you through everything you need to get started connecting a good starter device to the cloud!

I have a webinar coming up November 19th at 10AM PT that you’re welcome to attend for free - sign up here!

In the webinar, I’ll be covering the essential concepts and tools needed to connect IoT devices to the cloud securely including device authentication and authorization to how you can integrate your IoT Devices with some cloud services.

I’ll also showcase a live demo of a Raspberry Pi and PIR sensor that I integrated with AWS to make sure I know if my dog is trying to eat my lunch!
