Microsoft Azure IoT extension for Azure CLI

Python Build Status

The Azure IoT extension for Azure CLI aims to accelerate the development, management and automation of Azure IoT solutions. It does this via addition of rich features and functionality to the official Azure CLI.

News

❗ When upgrading your Azure CLI core version, for the best experience and to avoid breaking changes, we recommend updating your azure-iot extension to the latest available.
Azure CLI 2.24.0 requires an azure-iot extension update to 0.10.11 or later for IoT Hub commands to work properly. However we recommend at least azure-iot 0.10.14. Updating the extension can be done with az extension update --name azure-iot.

Note: A common error that arises when using an older azure-iot with Azure CLI 2.24.0+ shows as follows: AttributeError: 'IotHubResourceOperations' object has no attribute 'config'.

Starting with version 0.10.13 of the IoT extension, you will need an Azure CLI core version of 2.17.1 or higher. IoT extension version 0.10.11 remains on the extension index to support environments that cannot upgrade core CLI versions.
The legacy IoT extension Id azure-cli-iot-ext is deprecated in favor of the new modern Id azure-iot. azure-iot is a superset of azure-cli-iot-ext and any new features or fixes will apply to azure-iot only. Also the legacy and modern IoT extension should never co-exist in the same CLI environment.

Uninstall the legacy extension with the following command: az extension remove --name azure-cli-iot-ext.

Related - if you see an error with a stacktrace similar to:
```
...
azure-cli-iot-ext/azext_iot/common/_azure.py, ln 90, in get_iot_hub_connection_string
    client = iot_hub_service_factory(cmd.cli_ctx)
cliextensions/azure-cli-iot-ext/azext_iot/_factory.py, ln 29, in iot_hub_service_factory
    from azure.mgmt.iothub.iot_hub_client import IotHubClient
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.mgmt.iothub.iot_hub_client'
```
The resolution is to remove the deprecated azure-cli-iot-ext and install any version of the azure-iot extension.

Commands

Please refer to the official az iot reference on Microsoft Docs for a complete list of supported commands. You can also find IoT CLI usage tips on the wiki.

Installation

Install the Azure CLI
- You must have at least v2.3.1, which you can verify with az --version
Add, Update or Remove the IoT extension with the following commands:
- Add: az extension add --name azure-iot
- Update: az extension update --name azure-iot
- Remove: az extension remove --name azure-iot

Please refer to the Installation Troubleshooting Guide if you run into any issues or the Alternative Installation Methods if you'd like to install from a GitHub release or local source.

Usage

After installing the Azure IoT extension your CLI environment is augmented with the addition of hub, central, dps, dt, edge and device commands.

For usage and help content of any command or command group, pass in the -h parameter. Root command group details are shown for the following IoT services.
