How to use UpdateThingCommand to update attributes of a thing

[schaefergregor]

Hi all,
I am trying to update the attributes of a thing. My example is triggered in a Lambda (Right to update thing is given).

This is the example of the documentation to the command.

  const command = new UpdateThingCommand({
    thingName: "test",
    attributePayload: "{\"attributes\":{\"string1\":\"string2\"}}"
  });
 const response = await iotClient.send(command);

after sending the command, no attributes are shown at my thing.
What am I doing wrong?

Best regards, Gregor

Found a solution. Do not stringify attributes

  const attributes = {"string1": "string2"}
  const command = new UpdateThingCommand({
    thingName,
    attributePayload: {
      attributes
    }
  });
  const response = await iotClient.send(command);

Somehow the documentation was missleading.
