Steps

  1. List available services on a Thing with GET /Things/{thingName}/serviceDefinitions to see valid service names and parameters
  2. POST /Things/{thingName}/Services/{serviceName} with a JSON body containing the service's required parameters to execute it
  3. Define an event and its associated DataShape ahead of time via AddPropertyDefinition/AddEventDefinition-style setup calls if one doesn't already exist
  4. POST /Things/{thingName}/Events/{eventName} with a JSON body matching the event's registered DataShape to trigger it
  5. Confirm downstream subscriptions fired by checking Thing state or logs in ThingWorx Composer
