2020-05-05 - Device Provisioning API change

The Developer Console was a first step towards introducing you to the Eclipse Vorto information model, as a structure for your digital twin (thing).

However, the Device Provisioning API changed meanwhile, and has introduced Vorto support
(as well as a new field "skipVorto", in case your don't need a Vorto definition in your digital twin).

For provisioning with an Eclipse Vorto information model you will need to set the definition in the request body.

e.g.

{
    "id": "your.namespace:twin-with-vorto-model-01",
    "hub": {
        "device": {
            "enabled": true
        },
        "credentials": {
            "type": "hashed-password",
            "secrets": [
                {
                    "passwordBase64": "c2VjcmV0"
                }
            ],
            "enabled": true
        }
    },
    "things": {
        "thing": {
            "definition": "com.bosch.iot.suite.examples.digitaltwin:DigitaltwinExample:1.0.0",
            "attributes": {
               "modelDisplayName": "DigitaltwinExample",
               "doc-comment": "Setting attributes is optional, but be aware that they can not be inherited from Vorto anyway"
            },
            "features": {
               "doc-comment": {
                "set-all-your-features": "They can have own definitions. In case they contradict the Vorto model, your custom settings win.",
                "omit-setting-features": "You get them all from the Vorto repository automatically."
               }
            }
        }
    }
}

In case your device should be provisioned without any Vorto definition, omit specifying a definition, or set "skipVorto" to true.

Note: By default skipVorto is set to false.
