Can jobs and thingShadow share the same connection to device?

[zhex900]

Hi,

Is it possible for jobs and thingShadow class to share the same connection with the device class?

For example,

var device = awsIot.device({
   keyPath: <YourPrivateKeyPath>,
  certPath: <YourCertificatePath>,
    caPath: <YourRootCACertificatePath>,
  clientId: <YourUniqueClientIdentifier>,
      host: <YourCustomEndpoint>
});

// this will create a new connection right?
// is it possible for jobs to use this same connection as device?
var jobs = awsIot.jobs({
   keyPath: <YourPrivateKeyPath>,
  certPath: <YourCertificatePath>,
    caPath: <YourRootCACertificatePath>,
  clientId: <YourUniqueClientIdentifier>,
      host: <YourCustomEndpoint>
});

Thank you

Each of those will be a separate device/connection, it looks like.

@bretambrose is correct because you will have to use a different endpoint when connecting for IoT Jobs.

• IoT Core endpoint: <account-specific-prefix>-ats.iot.<aws-region>.amazonaws.com
• Jobs endpoint: <account-specific-prefix>.jobs.iot.<aws-region>.amazonaws.com
