Abstract
A technology is described for operating a device shadowing service that manages device representations for physical devices that are network addressable. An example method may include associating a device representation with a representation type, where the device representation represents a copy of a state of a physical device in network communication with a device shadowing service that maintains the device representation, and the representation type may define a command that can be invoked through the device representation. After the device representation has been associated with the representation type, the command may be invoked through the device representation. Invoking the command may involve identifying the representation type associated with the device representation and determining that the command is supported by the representation type. Thereafter, the command may be executed.
