Use BatchUpdateDetector to update an Amazon IoT Events detector model

You can use the BatchUpdateDetector operation to put a detector instance into a known state, including timer and variable values. In the following example, the BatchUpdateDetector operation resets operational parameters for an area that is under temperature monitoring and control. This operation enables you to do this without having to delete, and recreate, or update the detector model.

CLI command:

aws iotevents-data batch-update-detector --cli-input-json file://areaDM.BUD.json
