BatchUpdateDetector example for an HVAC system in Amazon IoT Events

In this example, BatchUpdateDetector is used to change operational parameters for a working detector instance.

Efficient HVAC system management often requires batch updates to multiple detectors. This section demonstrates how to use Amazon IoT Events's batch update feature for detectors. Learn to simultaneously modify multiple control parameters, update threshold values, so that you can adjust response actions across a fleet of devices, improving your ability to manage large-scale systems effectively.
