Support communicating through Edge gateway #46

Closed lanatmwan closed 5 years ago

lanatmwan commented 5 years ago

AFAIK, anything capable of connecting to IoTHub can also connect through an Azure Edge instance as though it were a gateway by simply modifying the connection string. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/iot-edge-as-gateway

I was able to muddle my way through the documentation for DeviceAgent and connect my device directly to IoTHub. While I wouldn't say it was "no touch", it did require minimal steps to be performed on the device which was nice. Now instead of directly connecting it to IoTHub, I want to route connections through my edge gateway instance. That should only require DPS to send the Edge connection string to my provisioned device but I don't see any way to do that.

Hi lanatmwan,

This Create transparent gateway device can help point you in the right direction. Let us know if you have further questions...
